Hi there,
I was just wondering if F14’s engines are modeled extremely hot or something. Simply because I have very hard times to dodge fox2s (even those without IRCCM sometimes), in situations where it usually and easily work with other aircrafts. I mean : AB off (at least) with missile still quite far (2kms or more). Pre flaring doesn’t even work quite many times against IRCCMs.
Nuclear suns actually, IIRC they are the hottest engines in game. If not they are pretty close.
prob F-15E is on level
and, just dont play tomcat
that are almost dead planes, unless youre using F-14B that has F110 at least
I would rather use the F14A, mainly because of the broken match making.
F14B will fall 95% of the time (real) in 13.0-14.0 games. Which is not really enjoyable : almost useless fox3s for this BR, no irccm fox2, no HMD. The only real advantages are the huge number of CMs and dogfight capabilities.
F14A fall mostly in 12.0-13.0 games, which is far more enjoyable (with or without AIM54s by the way). It really make the difference. And doesn’t feel OP in the same time (except when you face people who didn’t learn how to dodge AIM54s).
Just started the US F16A. It clearly confirm the feeling about the F14. I dodge irccm fox2s way more easily, even with AB on sometimes.
