Yes because you are on the US team with the down tiered F-14s
Play US then

When I started grinding for this event yesterday I was in US Rank V, and now, having just finished the first 45k and feeling utterly exhausted by it (my first and last event - this massive grind is just too silly,) I’ve blown through Rank VI and am now just a spit’s throw away from unlocking the tech tree F-14A. Are the variants in the Iranian loadout even worth all of this vs the standard F-14A? Will I regret not having the “OP” F-14 if I give up on this? I’m over the monetary path forward so that’s not an option. But this grind…yeeesh. Punishing for a mid-player like me.
I may or may not have over reacted after getting team killed for the 3rd time in a row and may or may not have severely damaged my table which I may or may not be able to pay repairs for. I really hope this is worth it too :/

Third day in I find I’m doing quite ok so far, might even get enough score for the coupon to sell it. It’s no problem for me to actually get that F-14, but I don’t really need or want it, so my best option would be to get the coupon to sell it, but that’s where things get kind of hard… gotta see how I can grind around my workdays…
what can console player do with cupon for F14? is it even worthy? for example if I ever wanna switch to PC would I be able to transfer that cupon?

The tradable coupon is useless for console players. And I don’t think it’ll transfer with the account

So me currently having almost 250k points on console is just waste of my time? hahaahahha nice.
Played one and a half stars in this event and I have had enough. I like flying from time to time, but doing this every day for hours over more than two weeks feel depressing already after just three days. Not a premium plane and I could not even sell it unless I stopped sleeping - or going to work. Good luck to those who will bother with this grind till the end.
Should’ve been a squadron vehicle

When they give us an almost copy and paste none premium vehicle and it still costs a stupid amount of mission score. (45,000)

My suggestion is to switch to Air Realistic. Unfortunately, the event multipliers are completely unfair, and the recent score nerf (most critical hits got removed) hugely reduced the PVP score in Air Arcade.
Focusing on the PVP part in Air Arcade doesn’t make much sense nowadays score wise:
Spoiler
It’s better to focus on destroying ground targets (especially with strike aircraft/bombers lineups) or destroying bases with lower ranked bombers.
But it’s even better to just switch to Air Realistic. You can take something relatively fast, drop bombs, kill one or two enemies with missiles, die and enter the next battle. This way you can complete the event relatively easily.
I’m a newbie in Air Realistic, I don’t know how to play this game mode correctly. But even I can complete the event much easier in this mode than having at average ~10 player kills per battle in Air Arcade as experienced player. Which is completely ridiculous from my perspective.
To be honest, you don’t even have to kill players in Air Realistic. It’s enough to first drop bombs on bases, then kill a few AI planes even with missiles and then just die. This can give you very good scores with very little effort. Destroying 1 base in Air Realistic is worth more than 2 player kills in Air Arcade, and the effort is incomparable. Destroying 1 AI plane in Air Realistic is worth more than destroying 1 player plane in Air Arcade, and again the effort is incomparable. And I’m not even including the event multipliers in these calculations!
For me there is no doubt that Air Realistic is the mode to play the event, if you want to complete it in a reasonable time with little effort. Of course you have to learn the game mode a bit first, but it doesn’t take that much time. It’s definitely worth it.
There is also another way that I’m not sure if it’s still working. In the previous air events many players used rockets to destroy bases in Air Sim mode. It used to be the quickest way to complete the event. But I never tried this method, and lately the devs reduced rockets/bombs multipliers, so it might not be as good method anymore, I’m not sure. In the previous air events, players reported they could complete the 45k score in less than 2 hours with rockets in Air Sim. Maybe someone here is using this method in the current event and can confirm that it still works fine? I can’t check it myself because I don’t have the right planes to do it. If I understand this correctly, the best plane to use this method is the F-111A with 456 Mighty Mouse rockets. If I had this plane, I would definitely try this method.

Same here, I am interested in the plane but mainly to sell it but I would rather not do the event almost twice to be able to sell it.
I got burnt after the first match, after realizing u could not do the event with tanks.
Probably doesnt help that I am generally in the burnt out phase of war thunder and playing enlisted.
