It really shouldn’t be at the same BR as the gripens, 12.3 max for bombcat with 9m
but we also have phantom and tornado with same br as the gripens at same time.
Sadly bombcat needs to think about 12.7 with AIM-9M Unless ‘Magical BR Decompression’ comes up.

That’s the real problem. New players with premium 10.3 tanks don’t have spaa then raise all air vehicles, is that your solution ?
If new player don’t give a f… about how the game works raising or lowering brs wont change anything. Players flight straight to a10 and su25 being the lower all aspect missile, increase br then ?
Things are slightly more complicated than just ‘selling premium is all of the problem.’
F-14’s AIM-54 isn’t an unavoidable death beam kind of thing, but there is not much of a counterpart against them because there are no other ARH missiles on that BR bracket.
and mixed it with ‘no information for newbies’…
then things are gone all furbar now.
Gaijin needs to make some more proper tutorial things about radar-guided missiles and BVR or notching… all things that need to be known for surviving against top-rank threats.
These newbies with high-rank jets, also known as ‘flying pinata’ can’t flare the AIM-9M, shoot the AIM-7F with radar lock, or notch the AIM-54.
I think Gaijin made this furball and F-14 enjoyers are cherry-picking the situation now.
If Gaijin marks equipment BR with their ‘Efficiency’ theory, for now… Tomcats are scoring way more effectively than the rest of the 11.7BR jets now thanks to only ARH on the 11BR they have.
We need to deal with both problems at once.
Also, if F-14 became way much underperforming after nerfing the BR. Then we can buff them back.

AMRAAM is still better than aim54

No. F-14A’s airframe is eh enough at 11.7, it should keep 9Hs max and stay 11.7.
F-14B is fine at 12.0.
F-14D can get AIM-9Ms.

Every one of you advocating to put the F-14A at 12.0 with only an aim-9L upgrade conveniently forget that is has no All-aspect PD, no HMD and no modern rwr (actually a very terrible one, I’d pick the SPO-15 over this any day). All of those can be found on virtually all 12.0 jets.
If those premium players still haven’t learned how to face what is by far the worst fox-3 in the game 2 years later, how do you expect them to do any better against better fox-3 down the line? I can clap them with sarh just as easily.

People will stop complaining as time goes on and players in the game learn to fly below 60m instead of 100m. Now is too early to complain about anything. Get adjusted to it.

This is why I AIM-54s call it “bozo wiper”

The issue with that is, is that many trees in WT are 60m or taller, while also having wonky hitboxes. It is very hard to fly below 60m when you have to fly between trees.
Players will eventually adapt, but the F-14A should be higher than 11.7 regardless.

Its their fault for not learning and skipping the ranks.

They should give it AMRAAMs as well.

If you know then why you make topic like this. All ARH actually need buff, cause look at this. 4 km launched AMRAAM and i just decoy it with no issue. https://youtu.be/HNRBzzAFpo4

How on Earth would an F-14B at 12.3 with Aim9Ms and 54Cs be more powerful than an F-4 or Tornado with ARH missiles that completely outperform the Pheonix in everything but range and possibly max speed? This is beside the fact that the Phantom ICE gets the IRCCM 9Ls, and the Tornado gets 9Ms already. If the F-14B got 9ms and 130s then make it 12.7 like the Tornado F3, but if it doesn’t carry 120s then it needs to stay lower because it can’t compete.
Stop trying to make it seem like Pheonixes are comparable to Aim-120s and such. They are terrible missiles in comparison.

54s could pull 24 to 25G irl so, they can move to 12.0/12.3BR easily if they gets reworking.

They don’t in game, so it doesn’t really matter. Also the 14A would need 9Ls and the 14B would need 9Ms if they went up too. Until they do rework it they shouldn’t move.

Since the F-14A we have now is modeled after the 1977 SAC one so, the highest AAM it can carry is the AIM-9Ls that is tested at China Lake that same year.
If you want the F-14A to receive the AIM-9M, you need a late model F-14A that has TCS/Bombcat mod and ALR-67 in the game.

My bad, I misspoke. Meant 9Ls. I’ll go make that correction. Thank you.
Correction made.
F-14D would be 12.7 BR. IR AAM stock maybe 2x AIM-9M
This
F-14A late model in folder with F-14A Early or F-14B and would be 12.3
