Yup. I agree we went too far with 14D🙄
About the original topic, I totally agree that adding 9M on 14B is great idea.
AFAIK, slightest jets in 13.0+ are having no IRCCM IR missiles
Yeah definitely a +1 for f14B to finally receive Aim9M
Worse than just that, to my knowledge the F-14B and IRIAF are the only 2 jets at 13.0 or above without IRCCM missiles. And I think the A is the only 12.7 without even all-aspects (I don’t know every jet by heart so oops if I’m wrong there).
Nuts how Gaijin has let this go on for so long.
Friendly reminder:
Five more.
JA37DI/DI F21
and
16A ADF/MLU doesn’t
Mm, forgot they gave 120s to the ADF.
Really not cool how those jets are at 13.0 or above without IRCCM.
no all aspects at 12.7 isnt too bad, yes, it sucks, but the Aim-54A makes up for it as at that low of a BR, you can just sit high and bvr
For the same reason why the many MiG-29 doesn’t have the R-73, and the new F-16 BLK5 and the new Swedish F-16A at 12.7 in SB while US F-16A and Netz have 12.3
the German F-4 used 9J in America during Training but we never had them in Service
just like the f14B it also surrounded by all aspects missile and even now even shares 12.7 with f15A. f14A most definitely should get aim9L
oh… I forgot about Kfir C.10 are stuck with Python…

this is not true nothing with good radar like APG 71 which is more than equal to the MSIP IIs radar with 8 ammarams would be lower than it would never happen the F14D would be better than the SU30 premiums by a long shot it would be 13.7
and the 14D has extremely similar if not better performance than the F15C MSIP FM wise
F14D would be far better suited with 9M and 7P at 13.0
