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

@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.

@SFmerc
That is the same amount of fuel.
Both are 2 minutes of full afterburner.

F-14A only turns better if it takes less fuel than the Mig-29.

Wow, you are good.
Only thing what you can say is same amount of fuel, and besides that is not even IRIAF what you are using on testing,

@SFmerc out here claiming that F-14A isn’t the F-14A.
Such a movement of goalposts…
Well, one day your posts might stop baiting innocents.

Well lucky you are not innocent, and calling out biggest troll in this forum as baiting is hilarious.
You tend to place words on others, false claims what others have said.
You have proven that you dont have IRIAF fully unlocked.
And you keep keeping quiet on things what has allready called out as your desperate trolling since you cant even answer those things.
On your post, MIG has 1424KG of fuel and in f14A you got 2535KG of fuel and you claim both have same fuel amount.

next, post a screenshot of your IRIAF what you have unlocked in it, and lets keep talking after that, and make sure you screenshot whole hangar on it.

@SFmerc
Nice that your post considers you the biggest troll.
I’ll continue being sincere and following the WT community that largely represents me.
I’ve never made false accusations and never will. I’ve also never put words in peoples’ mouths and never will. Every instance of “you” was meant to be typed “your post”.

Fuel mass is not how you put vehicles into parity, especially for air RB where afterburner fuel time matters most.

And since you claim that player stats are liars, we are done.

Hopefully one day you stop calling everyone in the community malicious things.

Decompression is needed.

F-14A is 12.7 material
F-14A IRIAF is 13.0 material
F-14B would be fine at 13.0 IF,
F-15A and early flankers go to 13.3 AND,
all the modern fox3 slingers get a BR raise.

This is the gist of it, probably some other jets would also need adjustment.

The only way F-14A IRIAF goes to 13.0 is if all 12.0 Phantoms are brought to 12.3, all 12.3s are brought up to 12.7, all 12.7s are brought up to 13.0, all 13.0s are brought up to 13.3 and 13.7.

Bombing reward already give less to fighters. 8.0 vs 10.0 maximum reward modifier.

False, as proved.

Another false thing, and words in my mouth placed by you.

And now, where is that proof of you actually have any experience of using fakours is?
And on that fuel, time is most relevant thing, how normal players take fuel, 18/30/25mins, depending on plane, and in those pics mig has 10mins less fuel compared on f14. But, apparentally some people calculate that fuel time on afterburner time.

Oh and by the way, you used heavyest loadout on f14 comparing on lightest loadout on mig (6 r60’s)

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

@Stockholm_Blend
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.
