tomcat has to fight aim120s some time to

By giving it an IRST, which changes nothing about the BR compression.
You really think the IRST would do anything for you?

Again, if Gaijin wanted the F-14A (early) to have an IRST, they would have modelled as one that had IRST.


plus if we wanted could give it aim-9m to

They aren’t going to give the F-14A AIM-9Ms. They most likely aren’t going to give it AIM-9Ls even.

plus things have change a lot since danger zone

they will in time most likely as its a very popular plane

Is that why they refuse to give something like the Phantom FGR.2 AIM-9Ls? Because it isn’t popular enough? lmao

no i think they hate britain mods got ops with it or something just like harriers flight model

What about the F-4F then? They could give that one AIM-9Ls too, or is it not popular enough either?

Or are you gonna tell me another excuse? “Uh, well, Gaijin hates Germany, so that’s why”

no clue its been ingame for years im not dev but a lot of planes should get 9Ls

probably no ones bug reported yet two though

Ok, yeah, I can see where this is going lol

So why would the F-14A be any different?

“Because it’s popular” lol

I can agree with the 9Ms but 9L’s at that BR are kind of necessary and I’m not saying the f-14 is the only aircraft that is lacking due to compression and they moved it up to decompress the planes below it but now it’s compressed same issue with the IRIAF Even though the f90 is very good it now has to lean on it as a crutch

well it is true i rarely if ever see any german or british phantoms because no one plays them

The thing is, the F-14B and the IRIAF both exist at 13.0.

Gaijin probably feels like the F-14A (early) is at a good spot right now and they don’t want to experiment with vehicles that they think are in a good spot.

That’s why I was bringing up the F-4F and the FGR.2. Those two are being treated the exact same way, Gaijin thinks they are well balanced in their current iteration, so they don’t give them new weapons to try and see what would happen.

Oh a “US suffers” in the wild. Nice to at least see some changeup from the usual “Britain suffers”.

No one is saying this it’s mainly down to the Canadian and Australian community wanting a home without it’s libs being ripped apart
