F-14A (IRIAF) is the least balanced aircraft in the game

@SFmerc
Your posts are not you. Your post claiming that F-14A is better than Mig-29A and F-16A in flight performance is not YOU claiming it, it’s your post claiming it.
It’s up to you whether you want your post to continue claiming that or not.

Glad you finally agree with me that fuel time matters more than dry thrust time and fuel mass.

I apologize if my posts seemed hostile toward you as a person as that was never my intent.
Also I didn’t use the heaviest loadout, I used AIM-7Fs which is the lightest loadout vs 2 R-27s and 4 R-60s which is an average Mig-29 loadout.

Lmfao in what world

Stop biasing tomcat and Get lost, malicious ragebaiter.

Read the whole thing, dimwit.

4th-gen fighters on the current 12.3 are underrated awfully.
They are 12.7 material same as F-14A USN

100% true. I do the same but with the Lazur M. Bombing + PVP simply gives much better rewards than pure PVP. You can hop into my profile and check the Lazur M and F1C SL/RP stats which have similar amount of kills

There is zero bait in his post.
Sincere opinion is not bait, stop it.

must be half

Love how war thunder players seek to reduce other’s reward.

Fighter jocks ask to half the bombing reward.
F-14 haters ask to nerf the “reward when plane is outside battle zone”. I read that on another forum.
“Teamworkers” ask to REMOVE the reward of the losing team.

If Gaijin adopt your suggestions, we all will finally have 0 reward every battle :)

Erm… How about double the A2A player kill reward?

As long as stock grinds are an ass,
just cutting them down to half might be kicking the ladder and forcing-microtransaction

(Or just give everyone stock chaff and better stock missiles)

As a Buccaneer/Tornado IDS lover,
I am well aware that base bombing fighters are annoying issues (F-104C/F-4S with napalm nearly always fly faster than mine.)

But nerfing rewards directly sounds dangerous to me.

Why don’t you elaborate?

Well, if we’re looking at the F-14A, it’s a F-4S with a better FM and Phoenixes. To me, neither of those things equals 0.7 BR higher. Just to reiterate, it has at best Aim-9Hs, Aim-7Fs, Aim-54As, and that’s it. No countermeasure pods, no all aspects, no all aspect PD radar, nothing. It doesn’t even have a 1:1 TWR when empty.

There are some pros though:
The only thing beating you speedwise is the MK2000 and F-111
You hold speed amazingly
You have a vulcan

IMO, this doesn’t justify it being 12.7 though. If they gave it Aim-9Ls + lower engine heat I could see it.

You’ve been nothing but rude. I tried to iron things out to the rocky start we got off on, but you constantly just pull topics off the rails to attack me personally. You’re blocked.

There goes my medal. Thanks.

I just can’t get it. Pulling the topic off rail??

‘F-14A is F-4J with better FM and phoenixes’

Then we need to send F-4J into 12.3 after the current 12.3 goes 12.7 due to decompression.

It is the better way to make the gap narrower between F-4J and F-14A USN.

f14a just has slow acceleration the top speed is good, it loses energy in a turn because it’s fucking huge with weaker engines so you need to unsweep the wings and use the lift to outturn mig29s or su27s the f16 will dog you though

You are comparing to the premium F-4S which should be 12.3 (its OP at 12.0). The F-14A is surely better than the F-4S, and it fits nicely into 12.7.

Now the F-14A IRIAF and the yak141 should both be 13.0 if we get some decompression like I mentioned

Both mig29 and su27 will out dogfight an f-14a if played correctly with counter 2C instead of giving the f14 the rate fight it wants

That’s true but the f14a is very capable of getting guns on target before the fight drags out if you manually unsweep the wings immediately but if you can’t then yeah you’re dead.

So now the F-4S is op? The people who fly it are literal drones… How are you struggling against it? It’s literally just an F-4J with slats.

YES

that is why F-4J and F-4S gets underrated.
American premium Skill issues.

So, you are claiming that everyone who are not playing USA needs to suffer the compression
Because Americans suck ass with their planes?

Coward. you really blocked me. right?
Fine, keep living in your delusions.

I would propose changing reward toward fighter , rather than remove Napalm from aircraft entirely. Nerf base reward toward fighter and buff the kills reward even more
