where am i rn then?


that is an interesting question

The moon, clearly.

Fair enough, in any case though. Viggen DI vs F-14B is pretty fair/balanced

F-14B more than likely wins the WVR fight between them and the Viggen Di is overall much weaker defensively with half the number of BOL and a very weak RWR. I’d guess they are fairly evenly matched in a BVR fight depending on the exact conditions on the fight.

F-14B doesnt implicitly need Aim-9Ms, rather the F-4F ICE and Tornado F3 Late probably should be 13.3 but cant due to compression issues.

AV-8B+ and Sea Harrier FA2 have some noticable disadvantages and need the 9Ms at that BR, even though in the FA2s case, you’d rarely take them

Will we have more time for the third star of the event? I don’t remember how it was last time.
Edit: nevermind I’ve already got it XD

No, the 2A7A1 does not look like that.


Main differences are the heavy side skirts, EMES 15 on top of the turret, new PERI and the mounting points for the side add-on armour.

Thanks, I’ll make sure to incorporate these.

We got a lot more communication from the devs this time around about future plans, which is nice

England lol

in the article it even says Leo 2A7A1, so it is a 2A7 with the A1 upgrade kit, the so called Trophy System. I think the Bundeswehr knows it’s Tanks

basically every 13.0 gets aim-9M i dont see why tomcat shouldnt

Why would the Bundeswehr know their tanks? Such a silly statement smh (obvious /s)

9Ls are pretty poor missiles specifically at top tier where everyone else gets 9M and 2500 flares

The F-14B shouldn’t get AIM-9Ms at 13.0 because it is among the better 13.0 planes.
Either it stays 13.0 without AIM-9Ms or it goes up to 13.3 with AIM-9Ms.

no it isnt the better planes are F15A and SU-33

Viggen DI and J-8F doesnt get IRCCM and those should be considered the equals to the F-14B.

J8F gets fox-3 pl-12 and aim-120 same with viggen DI

Sure, the F-15A and Su-33 are better in most aspects, but the F-14B is also better than the JA37DI, Sea Harrier, AV-8B+ and J-8F in most aspects.
