Agree.
In the J I just take 2x sparrows sometimes none and its amazing flight perfromance.
Yeah bro I can barely tell any difference. The only difference I can tell is that a fully spaded A takes off faster than a fully spaded J.
Acceleration is a little bit better off the line. But not enough to give it a tactical advantage.
Mainly due to weight differences which is to be expected.
Did the Baz get the desert camo? I am debating which aircraft to get next
Uhhh, I don’t expect F-15C MSIP II with Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) in 4 years (2024 ~ 2028) and won’t buff F-15A
I guess new F-15 Eagle after F-15A (USAF) & F-15A Baz (IAF/IDF) might be F-15C MSIP II Early (USAF) (1999 ~ 2001) with AN/APG-63(V)1 radar, carry IR AIM-9M/AIM-9M-9, BVRAAM SARH AIM-7MH and active radar homing AIM-120B AMRAAM, and F-15C Baz Meshupar from IAF & IDF
There is better info of F14 using AMRAAMS then Gripens using Skyflashes
Tests are completed and F-14 was suitable for to carry Amraams.
Reason Tomcats didnt use Amraams in real life its because it was to expensive to upgrade them.
Itd be pretty easy to justify the F-14D getting AMRAAMS tbh. The F-14 was used for tezting the missile, there was initial intent to arm them with the AMRAAM, and it even appears on the pre-production SAC for the F-14D. Couple that with the fact that all of the F-14D’s weapons will be wholly inadequate by the time its added and its outright just good for balancing as well.
The F-14D getting AMRAAM’s would be less shaky grounds than the Mirage 4000, the Yak-141, and the F-16AJ.
If it wasnt for the fact someone (or multiple ppl) at gaijin outright hates the F-14, id say its more than likely itd get the AMRAAM in-game.
Well, considering 54 is not performing as it should AT ALL. It would be more than enough if they are fixed. Starting with reduced smoke on 54C and 20+ Gs.
I mean, sure, id love to see the 54’s fixed, but gaijin seems to be fking allergic to the thought, to the point where i cant think of a single good reason why they havent given them at LEAST the low smoke motor (bug reports been submitted and approved since the La Royale dev server) aside from “gaijin fking hates the AIM-54 and the F-14”.
Not like the documentation is ambiguous either, gaijin just doesnt like what it says so they close their eyes and pretend ut doesnt exist
IRL the 220s provide considerably more thrust above mach 1. Pw100 at 102% trim allows a clean f15A/C a max level flight alt at mach 1.8 for 58k ft and it will reach its max speed at Mach 2.35 from 36to 42kft(shouldn’t be a structural limit) A 220 will allow you to push the plane to 2.45 from 42kft to 48kft. Under these altitides it can actually rip itself. With 220s you can fly above 58k ft from Mach 1.6 to mach 2.25(but up to 59k ft). Look up on google “f15 performance changes due to engine differences”
I think It would be cool If the f14s were restricted to only aim54s, It would make them more unique, but only If they fix the missiles. Also imo the B Variant should get the 9Ms…
Nah just add the F14D with 9Ms
if the b varient got 9ms there would be literally no incentive to fly the f15 over the f14 outside of the slightly better flight performance
The F-14 has better useful performance metrics
in that case no reason at all lol
I got a lot of hate for saying the F-15 would be nothing but a side grade / variety to the F-14 in the game… here it is…
Barring the better radar, better acceleration, and more forgiven FM?
i mean you weren’t wrong the f15 was basically the air force equivalent to the 14 until it gained more capability with amraams/15e
some would argue the tomcat has a better radar. it definitely excels more at longer ranges
how about they just add a new plane to grind for every modification :)
