quite literally cannot do anything against a 13.3 like SU30 MKK
Can any non fox 3 jet?
The answer is yes!! You just have to understand that you will be at a disadvantage until the gap is closed.
SU27 with R27ER
Not that hard to beat.
No missile is particularly hard to defeat except the irccm missiles.
And I’d make the argument MICAs since they have a smaller FoV then all other Fox-3s
its harder to defeat than A AIM-7M which is why they didnt drop it also since the F15A has NO TWS you cannot BVR with its similar to a F5E at its br forced to dogfight everything
Why do you need TWS to BVR lol
Especially when you have no Fox 3 to TWS fire
so little thing you can do with missiles and TWS is soft lock with TWS like your fireing a FOX-3 then switch to a hard lock which allows you to fire them farther then ACM mode normally allows
R27ERs benefit the most from this
F14 can do it but the AIM-7M is not very good at it
You do know you can just lock targets via Search mode right?
Beyond ACM 19km limit?
R27er are hard to beat seen multiple people try to notch it and still die to it r27er/r27r are one of the best fox1 missiles in game and also I have been on both sides of using it and gone up against it
Most people don’t realize you have to go up or down to brake the iog
Even then it’s as simple as re locking with hmd or possibly even tws and I still manage to get the kill
One the only missiles where you can see datalink work immediately and do something lol.

Say in notch is what I do
The F-14s are of the vehicles in game that made me lose confidence and trust in GJ and question if they WANT and not CAN be accurate in what they model in game.
If we stay on armament:
Pretty clearly 14B can carry 9Ms.
And in general 9M has many iterations and upgrades that may affect things even in game, a M-8/9 isn’t the same with M-1, the have different GCM and M-8/9 has superior IRCCM. What model they even use in game? Another example… F/A-18E and F use only M-10s, they should have differencies in fins and there was an update to be able to better co operate with 18E/Fs avionics.
AIM-54A and C should have differencies…C has better INS, in game translates in picking better flightpath for optimum results. C should be faster than A (C rated 5 mach, A is 4,3 …in game C is around 4, A is 4,1 …) , C has better range while in game in max theoritical shots (stashark at least) it time outs earlier than A , and of course C should have different and better resistance to ECMs/chaffs/clutter … Not to mention the overload of 17G one single plane while they can’t model 25G dual and yet F90 with claims as sources has 20…
Ok let’s just not go far , just fix the speed and G overload and we good for now…
They just …don’t want to.
Even AWG-9 from 14A in a 70s iteration with AWG-9 from 14B in a 90s config should have differencies…because in its service it got upgraded, even in game the use of 54C with digital data link needed upgrade. The 90s iteration uses improved algorithms , that makes targeting and tracking faster and more secure.
Digital data link was around 82s and digital PSP upgrade was mid 80s something. It went from fully analog to hybrid.
Yet in game … no diffrence.
It’s not that they don’t have data. It’s not that they can’t simulate the improvement (hell, i’ll talk in more arcade than sim language, because even if they don’t know exactly… It should be 10% faster, 10% more resistant… at least to showcase that the 90s 14B got things the 70s 14A didn’t have…GJ just slaps 2 missiles and forgets what goes with it and moreover they do it wrong…) .
So yeah, it’s not just give 9M…
It’s fix a few things since they just tossed a plane there and left it there for years…

and hopefully the F-14D comes soon aswell.

no sources for it its lies until gaijin can prove that you can fit 4 MIM 23 hawk bodys under the belly of the F14
What the difference between Aim-54A and C btw?
The Aim-54A in real life was purely a SARH missile until the AWG-9 told it to go active, meaning it would be trashed if it wasn’t guided in all the way to seeker range. It’s not like this in WT and acts like the Aim-54C, where it can go active by itself when the radar loses lock.
For other differences, the Aim-54C has streamraid modes meaning it’s better at detecting and discriminating against close targets. It has all aspect capability both in acquisition and throughout the beam. It has improved loft, energy retention, and trajectory leading to higher Pk, speed at impact, and range. It has a better fuse and warhead with a controlled explosion that is said to improve lethal hit range by >30%. It’s more versatile against all targets and is the only confirmed Aim-54 to have dual plane maneuvering. The Aim-54C also looks infinitely cooler with the AMRAAM C type livery.
