F14B is still a issue in 2025

He thinks the AIM-54 is actually something to make it 13.3.

no joke just a paper weight with no gimmick thats the aim54 each aim 54 weighs similar to a 1000LB bomb

in it’s current state kinda, yeah. only use case is if you get really high and really fast it is quite fast with great range, but because gaijin refuses to give it it’s IRL g pull because their game totally isn’t arcadey and it would have to totally do a roll to force dual plane because otherwise the realism would be only nearly indistinguishable from IRL rather than still not quite perfect, as well as the fat that they refuse to make lofting better on it and other missiles, and they won’t do anything about it’s unrealistically high drag on all missiles due to the atmosphere being thicker than porridge because that’s totally not arcadey and dual plane needs to be modeled perfectly in this arcadey game because why not. gaijin’s logic will make me go insane one day

If would be faster, have more CMs, more ordinance, the ability to sweep its wings, more fuel and FnF missiles. Once you give it a buff like that it would have to go up.

So we need 2 undertiered jets?

No, I think AIM-54s make it belong where it currently is. Giving it better weapons would move it up.

Read the post.

What makes the F-14B faster when you put AIM-9Ms on it?

Giving the F-14B AIM-9Ms gives it more CMs? Who knew!

Oh my god it can’t do this without Aim-9Ms?

So on… what are you even talking about?

yeah it’s pretty clear you just have no understanding of the meta or how weak the F-14B currently is considered by anybody with some idea of the game.

Once again, the F-14B is currently very weak. Giving it AIM-9Ms does not even put it in the upper half of 13.0s. The Su-27 would still be 5x stronger.

if anything, as i have stated previously the aim-54’s need a buff, since as it currently stands all they do is punish people playing older jets with bad rwr, which really just isn’t fair, or fun for me as an avid tomcat player. i want to be fighting otherr 4th gens more, not just watching another f-4s and mig-23ml get slammed by something they didn’t know was coming to get them

…are you serious? Do you really not understand what I said?

Like, you don’t get that it’s faster than other vehicles at the same BR, or has the ability to sweep wings? Or has more CMs?

Like you don’t get how it has those advantages and that giving it better weapons would push it pass and possibly justify it going up in BR?

Did you read the part where I said its currently one of the worst 13.0s in the game?

You clearly don’t understand that the jet having access to aim-54s is what put it at its current BR. You know, like how it was undertiered for the longest time.

You could remove the AIM-54s and move it down, or leave the aim-54 and it would have to stay where it was.

Ok, so let’s assume that the F-14B is actually the “worst” 13.0…what now?

So you know that if you give it AIM-9Ms then another jet becomes the worst 13.0. Do we give it a buff? Do we give a jet AIM-9X? Or better AMRAAMs? Or what?

This whole argument is stupid to be honest.

I’m not even going to entertain this.

Hint: AIM-9Ms are standard at 13.0. IR missiles are also not the meta.

It’s crazy how you haven’t actually provided any counter arguments, just insults and “come on bro, the F-14b is the worst 13.0 just buff it and don’t move it up”

Can’t when the other user doesn’t understand the game.

Show me where it says that. Like, where is the official statement from the snail saying you must have them at 13.0?

4 aim-9Ms, and FnF missiles, a ton of CMs, a amazing flight model, speed, more fuel then its contemporaries, the ability to sweep its wing, would add up to moving up its BR.

Oh man, this is just getting funny.

So your argument is “lol trust me bro, you won’t get it”

All right, let me guess. You guys defended the F-14s back when they were crazy undertiered, right?

LOL, this is not a requirement. Simply look at the 13.0 lineup of jets. 90-95%+ of them have IRCCM missiles.

Yes because AIM-54s are famously good and definitely aren’t the worst fox3s in game. Let’s leave out that part.

Get real.

You ran out of pros so fast you started listing fuel tanks as pros.

Downside not an upside. The FM requires you to do extra work to get results that are worse than the competition gets without needing to.

No because I’m not a moron.

Simply compare the current F-15A (already a mid 13.0) and compare it to a F-14B with 9Ms. Hint: the F-14B still loses this fight lmao
