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

Bah, bollocks.
F-14A USN was dominating the match and harassing the compression

  • Especially, When Matchmaker goes nuts and it made the [USA vs World] match (When we had 4 F-14A on each side, they still dominated the match but less broken)

I agree that F-14A USN is unplayable. it seems so.
I nearly never saw F-14A USN after IRIAF showed up.

But it is more a compression problem with bullshit balancing of Gaijin itself.

Now they are getting harrassed by the compression and tasting their own medicine.

YES. F-4J/S USN and F-4EJ Kai are slightly underrated.
They should climb up by decompression with Mirage 2000C.

But I don’t understand why you are ignoring that AIM-7E-2 or Skyflash are inferior in nearly all aspects compared to AIM-7F.

As I remember, Skyflash(normie) are only better than AIM-7F on dead-close range headon thanks to less guidance delay and better initial thrust. maybe 5km-ish?

~10km is where I use Skyflash and AIM-7Fs, partially because the ACM range of F-14 is 9km.
But with todays results showing that F-4FG1 and FGR2 just fly better than F-4J for air RB, it explains why I have such a good time in my FG1 and why I do so well in it.
The extra flight performance aids the lack of slightly longer range SARHMs.

you will not, again my dms are open we can set it up anytime I’m free. the f14a can very much go mach 1.2 as well lmao so put your money where your mouth is. and bro the f14b is the same airframe with better engines ofc it’s better do you want a cookie?

Yeah, that one sucks. I didn’t like that short ACM range when I tried to fly my F-14A IRIAF
I lost my interest rapidly in ‘Playing Tomcats in War Thunder’ thanks to Fakour-90 and 9km ACM.

I’d rather watch Top Gun once more.

  • Phantom FG.1/F-4K
  • Phantom FGR.2/F-4M

Well, I still think the Difference between AIM-7E-2/7F should be the difference in BR too

  • If F-14A USN and IRIAF should’ve had a difference BR.

apologies you were muted because of your trolling, it’s now fixed

or omega nerf bombing rewards

bruh what about the f4 family?

That just screws over actual attackers and bombers.

They have conventional bombs that they can use instead of napalm.

Lancaster and Tu-4 might want to know your location

I mean aircraft that has attacker/bomber are okey, they doesn’t need to gets rewards nerf.

Problem is some people use fighter as goddamn B-17.

As long as Gaijin is greedy enough to snatch a wallet while fixing nothing…

IMO, if Gaijin is planning to nerf the reward of base bombing, They also need to improve stock modification of every rank 7s, too.

  • giving default chaffs
  • better stock missile loadout
    Might be an option.

Fight against F-15A while welding only two AIM-9D on phantom sounds just insane.
Hyperbolically, Pay or bomb meta, I guess.

If Gaijin nerfs base bombing reward, According to their former movements

  • improve nothing on stock modifications
  • just kill the basic reward of the base or the whole reward modifier of fighters instead
  • Bomber/Attackers will get stabbed again on their dead bodies.
    :/

First af all , YOU CLAIM , they are better in every aspect, and when pointed what they are not better vs IRIAF you just ignore it

, like usually you do, when people point your bs.
aim 7M is no match on F90, in terms of range, F90’s can be shot on 55/60km away target easily, you have 4 targets what to shoot. Just snap airbrakes and start lil notch and keep your radar on enemy flock where you fired those fakours. After they are on own lock, just return to base.
Next, you talk about F16A, it has 6 aim9l’s. (ADF has aim7m’s.
)
I allready pointed that radar and rwr are better on those. but mig’s airframe is not so good in dogfight vs iriaf.
And both aim7 and r27R /er has less range compared to F90. And since you can spam all those f90’s instead keeping 1 target on lock and having 2 SARH missiles on that 12.7br is an advantage.

Long range headons , IRIAF is superior compared to any 12.7 jet, only cos F90’s speed and range .
It’s not being a tomcat fanboying, like you think, it’s just harsh reality of that jet.

How can one call the 9P better than the 9H???

If you really want the candidate for “most unbalanced” aircraft, look no further than A-4N Ayit!

AIM-9Q when

He might be mistaken thanks to the alphabet :/

@SFmerc Why is your post provoking? Especially claiming that F-14A is better than F-16A, Rafale, Gripen, etc in flight performance.

Mig-29 sustained turn rate: 18.5 degrees per second.

F-14A sustained turn rate: 17.3

Mig-29 TSFC: 2.4.
F-14A: 2.7.
29 has the better engines, even if it’s marginal compared to F-14B’s engines.

Paper range isn’t as valuable as you think it is. AIM-54 has the best range, it’s the worst missile.
MICA EM is called the best AMRAHM in the game, has the least range.

“Long range headons” is a niche thing cause no one does them except allegedly in your matches.

From my experience, F-14 is one of the slowest planes at its BR, loses tons of speed in turns, and uses fuel insanely fast with AB.

First of all, try to take same amount of fuel, and remember to use combat flaps on gunrange dogfight, and surprise, that f14 turns better vs mig 29.
But it’s not new from you that you “forget” some minor things.

Never talked about gripen, rafale etc. Or never told it would beat F16 in dogfight or having better airframe vs F16. Again, you are trying to place words from others mouth. ( Like you usually do)

So in your games, whole enemy team scrambles on left and right, and not flying towards enemy, and they spawn in 20km range from other team.
I truly start to believe you dont even have F90’s open on IRIAF.

And please, continue reporting these posts when your BS is called out, so answers to you will be hidden more often. Like they usually happen to disappear.
