No. F-14’s radar is too garbage for them to really be a threat. just hug the ground and fly perpendicular to em.

It’s annoying but it isn’t ruining anything
Honestly that is not even enough sometimes. I do wonder if there is a bug currently where it still tracks while you are skimming tree tops.

I would actually suggest against hugging treetops, because 60kg warhead will still be able to damage your airframe even if it explodes away from you. I played a lot of F-14 IRIAF as well as MiG-29 and 23MLD and by far the best working tactics for me was - stay at 1.5-3.5 km of altitude, watch the sky. As soon as you notice F-14 ejaculation (pretty easy to spot with all smoke trails behind those missiles) just turn 90 degrees (RWR is really helpful, just make sure that majority of pings are around 90 degrees) and fly like that for a bit, maybe drop some chaff to be absolutely safe. After that you are free to reclimb if you want to orbital strike people or just turn towards the furball. With this strategy i got killed by Fakour/Phoenix only 4-5 times out of my entire time at this br.

Imo its should get to 12.7. Yeah they aren’t that hard to dodge but some scenarios are like flying into an amraam. Because of its 20G pull its hard to kinetically dadge it and the long burntime makes it even harder
If they fix the tws, i could see it going up. Whenever i use the tws on it, it will randomly switch targets or drop soft locks for no reason.
The radar also struggles to keep targets locked for the sarh missles.
the fakour 90 alone is enough to bump the iriaf f14 up to 13.3 cause having fire and forget missile in the 12 br range while everyone else has to maintain a radar lock for there missile not to go bat shit crazy is simply not fair.
