I would like to suggest a historical correction for the Iranian F-14 Tomcat (IRAF) in War Thunder.
The F-14 was purchased and delivered to Iran before the 1979 Revolution, during the Pahlavi era. At the time these aircraft entered Iranian service, the official national flag of Iran was the historical Lion and Sun flag. Because War Thunder places a strong emphasis on historical accuracy and period-appropriate markings, I believe the current flag used on the F-14 IRIAF does not properly reflect the historical context of this aircraft.
For the sake of consistency and authenticity, I respectfully request that the current flag be replaced with the historical Lion and Sun flag, or at least made available as an alternative historical option. This should apply both to the vehicle preview and to the aircraft model in-game.
This is not meant as a political statement. It is simply a request for historical accuracy, consistent with how War Thunder represents vehicles from different eras and nations.

no
no for me because if they change it, they will also remove r27 and fakour who make it unique instead of copy paste slop who the only difference is the flag.

It’s better than you flying with a lie. Besides, I only requested the flag and didn’t say anything about missiles. And he still has the Phoenix missiles.
its not a lie, you lie to yourself to not accept the truth.
f14 are still flying to this day under islamic gov, they had aim54 even after the event, they build missile based on aim54 who is know as fakour 90.
no you cant and its stupid.
if you want the flag, you gotta accept the downsides that comes with it. SIMPLE

R-27 was never compatible anyway and its ahistorically present on the Iranian F-14.
yes changing the flag would removed fakours though
@RohamEnemy
i dont think this post should be here, this represents a political issue. not a historical one.
The F-14s didnt stop being in service post-revolution
also remove the aim7 and aim9 that were retrofitted during the iran iraq war too as they (F-14s) were only delivered with the vulcan and phoenixes
the r27 was show mounted ona f14, details are missing so i dont know where gaijin got the info.
No, he had a very significant role in the Iran-Iraq war and some of them are still working.
And if that’s the case, should the picture of the German faction’s flag be replaced with the Nazi flag?
the issue is that the radar is incompatible
missiles can be mounted but not be able to be fired
we already have the USSR flag, it objectively represents a similar “alien” ideology as the nazi flag, besides, the in game flag for germany is one that was used side by side with the nazi one IRL. i wouldnt mind either way
anyway, this is getting too politikal
