It does, it gets shutoff and a very powerful FOV clamp. (A lot more than the R-73 etc.)

In game?
I think all ground-launched IRCCM missiles get both

yeah, IIR isn’t modelled yet so that is basically a stopgap as far as im aware (not a gaijin dev)
and DL i think was added during its dev server release, it was Blk1 → Blk2?
Either way the F-14s weren’t cleared for 9X so I don’t think its a possibility anyways

Python 5, RB-98, IRIS-T SL, AIM-9X, FB-10/A get the same IRCCM. The other ones like stingers have a lot weaker FOV clamp (1.25 on stingers vs 0.25 on 9X/IRIS-T)
How did he know that?

And how does it differ? None of the Tomcats have ‘top-level combat performance’, measured in BR.
They dont have top level performance, but sub-par performance compared to their peers.
Not exactly great for such an iconic aircraft

Yeah, believe me this thread knows it well
Seems that gaijin are too hard focused on it being a premium that no compromise for better equipment is considered as to not risk having issue with its loadouts and thats causing a lot of issues

It is technically better than its peers if you are only on about the other tomcats
However it is worse than every other plane at the br besides maybe the 2nd/3rd gen amraam slingers
So it is against what BvvD said from a certain point of view

Most disappointing news I have read regarding the F-14D.
I was expecting AIM-7P, AIM-9M, and AIM-54C+… not a premium F-14B with a fancier radar.
Do better, Gaijin.

Started the update well, but then managed to ruin it

I really don’t care about premium F-14 but, why D model when we have ways better solutions for premium?
F-14A with 1998 configuration is basically F-14B with TF30s.
I guess it would be good premium instead F-14D.

I think the entire playerbase agrees the F-14 series are actually the worst performing aircraft for their BRs in game rn, and i can guarantee you adding a copy paste at the same BR as the premium SU30s isnt gonna help

Yet another premium, this time of an aircraft who should not be one under any circumstances. Anyone keeping tally of the premium to researchable ratio?
The F-14B already came standard with AIM-9M missiles, just as it did in real life, whereas the Super Tomcat in War Thunder still uses AIM-9L missiles, which were carried by later versions of the F-14A… And on top of that, all of this is only available in the premium version…
Unless the F-14A is set to 12.3 (it would be very powerful at that level), the F-14B to 12.7, and the F-14D to 13.0 in realistic battles, but I really doubt that will happen; if the F-14D (the Gaijin version with AIM-9L) ends up at the same BR as the SU-30 Premium, it will be a scandal.
Gaijin, what happened?

F-14d can’t even use the aim-7p datalink feature there’s no point in asking for the 7p, it would be essentially the same
BVVD is reiterating what was already written in this post from 2023 [Development] [RoadMap] Following the Roadmap: grouping vehicles, rank changes, and improvements to premium vehicles - News - War Thunder
The rule for premiums applies only to the highest BRs of the game, anything below that is irrelevant.
