Past R-27s and some avionics stuff thats about where the relation between this Tomcat and the USSR ends afaik
I was responding to your claim of “it was placed in the US TT because USSR simply didn’t need it.”, which is factually untrue.
Also this statement of yours, “it has nothing to do with their previous relations”.
Both of which are completely counter to what Smin said.

Which was the point of the question. If this tomcat was modified enough to support R-27R’s, then it is plausible for the R-72T’s to be mounted too since the missiles are the same aside from a different seeker.

Are you ok in the head?
What do you mean by India had no choice?
India joined the commonwealth under British rule
China probably has more connections with Iranian F-14. Saw somewhere that China helped Iran to restore the F-14s.

The USSR’s sub tree is Russia.

They joined Commonwealth after Independence. 15 August 1947.
Their membership was ratified in 1949, but they joined in 1945.
Anyways that has nothing to do with India being a British Sub tree. It’s Gaijin’s decision and that’s all that matters.

It literally isnt. R-27T needs seeker cooling provided by pylons and F-14A pylons arent capable of that. Not to mention Iran not having these missiles in the inventory or ever willing to integrate them to the F-14A.

It literally is worth asking. From what I understand, Iran and Russia FAILED to integrate the R-27Rs with the F-14’s radar. This places the Iranian F-14 adjacent to assorted so called “paper” planes like the Ho229 or Yak-141 that ceased development before being fully equipped with weapons and other equipment that are present within the game.
If Gaijin is implementing the Iranian F-14 as part of a “what-if” scenario where the plane was successfully modified to support the R27’s that Iran intended to use, then who is to say that further modifications weren’t made to the pylons to provide coolant supply to T variants of the missile?

I stated that as one reason which stands true, the Soviets didn’t receive the Iranian F-14A because it’s an American vehicle, they simply don’t need it and the fact we’ve received a continues flow of attackers in previous events.
Also this statement of yours, “it has nothing to do with their previous relations”
You just can’t read apparently, it quite literally is stated for historical context. The F-14A was indeed sold to Iran whilst relations were good but in no way shape or form does it state that’s one reason on why the Americans received it in their TT.
The F-14A we’re receiving is a POST Islamic Revolution modification, we are talking about a vehicle which was later upgraded and can be considered a F-14A Late. At the time of this modification both Iran and USA had hostile ties, make it make sense brother.

Its pretty obvious that it was taken into account for the addition of the plane, but again since it doesnt fit your narrative, you choose to ignore it like every other ussr main crying about this plane.

Stop being ignorant, I believe it SHOULD remain in the US tech tree and I’m a British/Chinese main I don’t even play USSR actively lmao. All I’m saying is that the reason it was added to the American TT was because of other reasons and not solely because of historical relations.

You know the more I consider it the more I’m coming round to the idea that the Iranian F-14 should not be in the US tree. The main reason being that putting an IRIAF vehicle in the US tree denies US pilots the chance to shoot it down.
If not enemy, why enemy shaped?
Regardless at the end of the day the decision is down to Gaijin and they have clearly explained their reasoning.
