F14B should go back to 12.7

The F14B should go back to 12.7 their’s no reason for it to be at 13.0 as their is more then enough counter to it at 12.7 and have a good rwr to detect the aim54 and the f14B load out is a 12.3 load out as seen on the f18a except it has access to aim54 witch is practically a meme missile now compared to the old days and is not effective at 13.0 it’s radar is mid at best and it fm is also as good as any other 12.7 not to mention how hard it is to notch in this aircraft even with bol pods compared to other aircraft
I say all these since gajin has shown no interest in buffing the f14B and revert nerfs it has gotten when it was in lower br

Why would the F-14B be 12.7? It’s better than all but the F-15 and F-18 that are at 12.7 which also shouldn’t be there. You’d also have to put the F-14A at 12.3 which is just absurd.

This makes no sense. The RWR on the F-14B is good and you have incredible CM count. It is NOT hard to notch in the F-14B, in fact its one of the easiest jets at the BR to do it in.

I don’t think that true as your forgetting about planes that have access to irccm missiles and r27r/er and the f14B fm is not better then all maybe a few but definitely not all mig29,mig23 MLD,f15,f18,yak 141,f16,f5,mirage’s, and ja3’s could give it a run for it’s money

You don’t have to move the f14A down at all

I never said I had issues with the rwr and even with the bol pods it’s still hard to notch irccm missiles even with after burns off I had multiple accounts of irccm missiles hitting. not to mention r27er/other fox3 carriers at the same br or .3+ br higher that have harder to notch fox3 missiles compared to the aim54 or planes that have better hit capability even with fox 1 missiles compared to the F-14B with aim7m or have a easier time notching compared to the f14B

Fixing BOL and un-buffing the F-15A would be fine

IF F-14B need extra buff, just give AIM-9M on them.

about counterparts in lower BR, such as F/A-18 or F-15, those bastards need to go up, not sending F-14 down.

I aware of all of these but gajin has not listened to the community about wanting decompression and did the opposite. As for the f14B and f14A getting aim9L/aim9m we are asking but still haven’t received them and yes both are of need of buffs and not just aim9’s as I mentioned aim54 are meme missiles(well probably not for the f14A when it gets down tiers)and aren’t good as they once was and the f14B has fox1/fox2 that are 12.3 br missiles witch are a pain to use in 13.0

Worst case scenario - Not listening about sending F-14B directly down to 12.7BR either.

Well as of the way things are as of right now the f14B should go down to 12.7 until decompression happens

Its should be 12.7 if didnt get a AIM-9M and AIM-7P (also AWG-9 with PD all aspect). But if its get AIM-9M and 7P 13.0 would be ok.

Supposedly the f14B can’t use Aim7p

In real life F-14B can carry 7P, And F-14A late 135 GR block can carry it too.

the answer isnt compressing lower BRs with the most oppressive plane in high tier WT of the last 3 years.

its a matter of almost every 13.0+ plane needing to move up by a good margin.

Or sperate betaween Fox-1 match and Fox-3 match. Matchmaking by load out.

No but IRIAF should

Except SHAR FA.2, right?

i dont think thats really neccessary

Well people are saying it could but won’t be able to use its full capability and would be practically aim7m or aim7mh

FA.2 and AV8B+ are the two worst I can think of. FA2 is the worse fox-3 in game. if it wasnt for 13.0 minimum rules i could see it as 12.3 and still sucking.

tonka F3 late is another tragic plane. spamraam BR is horrendous unless youre a premium SU30 or rafale

Its had a chance to hit a target. its better then 7M so much. Trust me some situation 7P will make a difference then 7M. For my experince.

MiG-29 with a worse flight model, worse IR missiles, and worse RWR is not equal to F-14B just because it has 2 R-27ERs attached

DEFINITELY superior to the MiG-29.

MiG-29, MiG-23 (LOL), Mirages, and JA37 ABSOLUTELY do not have ANYWHERE NEAR as good of a flight model as F-14B. Please fly these planes before making these claims.

Why would the F-14A and the F-14B exist at the same BR

YOU CAN’T NOTCH IR MISSILES. NOTCHING IS FOR RADAR MISSILES. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON MECHANIC WISE TO BE MAKING THE CLAIMS YOU ARE MAKING

I’m aware of this^
