The real problem is the fakour. But as you say. The AIM-120 is better than an AIM-54 and is present in 13.0 but that is a compresion problem. Now, with this br cap. The F-14B should get the 9M’s while staying at 13.0

Its actually easier to dodge sparrows because they dont have a 40 meter proxy fuze

barely 10 comments and it’s already full of people with TDS (tomcat derangement syndrome).
On a much worse aircraft in every other regard
Also on much worse aircraft, the F-14B is infinitely better than the F-4F ICE or a SUBSONIC plane (Harrier).
I wonder when gaijin is gonna add long rod warheads lol
The IRIAF is an echivalent to the B in BVR. Same radar, same shir rwr, infinitely better missiles.
The F-4F has 8 missiles. 4 9L/I and 4 120’s, much better radar and RWR. On the AV-8B i do agree
F-14B has an improved RWR:
The Fakour is better, but it can only carry 4x max, and is then limited to 4x AIM-9Ps. Both USA Tomcats can carry 6x AIM-54 and the much longer ranged AIM-9D/G/H (F-14A) or 9L (14B).
F-14B also has 700 CM total (Irancat has 60) and the better engines.
F-4F has much worse flight performance than F-14B and arguably even worse than F-14A, with less CM than 14B. It is still a bad plane.

As i said. The IRIAF is better in BVR than the B. Ik the B has the 9L’s
Or… F-14D.
lol lmao even.
F-4F ICE has AIM-120s and AIM-9Lis.
F-14B has neither. The fact F-4F ICE and F-15A are the same BR as Viggen D and F-14D is a crime.

Honestly, I don’t see any problems for giving AIM-9L/9Ms for F-14s with current BR in ARB match, unless Gaijin omegabuff AIM-54s.
Probably, it would be insane in sim even more but, they can go higher BR then since SBEC has rotation BR matchmakers.

BOLs ain’t that useful because they nerfed after Grippens comes in the game.

Not what I meant but go off. My statement is related to just their flight performance.
Certainly better than not having them.
Oh mb the way I read it I thought you were talking about overall, sorry.
The problem aircraft of the two is the F-15 though, it along with around 90% of other 13.0s ought to be 13.3.
why would they? the f15a is at 13.0 with aim9ms, and it being moved up by having added an irccm missile while also having fox3s isn’t great, the Phoenixes are mostly useless anyway
Again… with SARH missiles that you can only fire one at a time and arguably worse flight performance.
You can fire them at base bombers or people not expecting to get hit that early on, many still die to Phoenixes. Their absurd splash also makes multipathing basically impossible. They aren’t hard to dodge but neither are sparrows.
missile this, missile that, but how about the flight performance of the f15 vs f14? f14 is much more inferior and the only advantage are the aim54s…
if it gets aim9ms i wouldn’t even care if it gets moved to 13.3 at all
Fold the wings out on the 14B and you can do a lot more than you might think. Also, you carry more radar missiles than the F-15A in the first place.
you yet still have a problem about it getting an aim9m even if it gets moved up? waw
