Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

The AIM-54 needs its menace status in War Thunder immedietly

And give the 14B 9Ms fix Phoenix and move it to 12,7 or 13 imo

well… i hope j11a not done yet, copy like j11 just new r77, in 13.0 i cant accept

Every thing ive ever read about the J-11A state a change to avionics and composites built into the airframe to reduce added weight so im almost certain its not done yet

Agreed. GJ does not like the Tomcat for some reason

A little history reminder for others.

The Aim-54 has more kills against fighters than any R-27 variant that ever existed to date combined

I also think it’d be funny to see it be able to use its loft to come above aircraft in their RWR blind spot like irl

Cockpit is not done :) & GJ would not dare add Chinese air to air missiles that are technologically superior to anything Russia can produce. Advanced Flankers that are superior to Russian? In WT?

Good luck with that.

The F-14D should be the Tomcat with AIM-9Ms; the F-14B is fine (thought it should really go up to 12.3).

Well I can tell you what will happen. Patch will drop and you’ll get your F-20A players not using multipathing and getting slammed. It’ll get moved to 11.7.

F-15As without the AMRAAMs will cry that “no AMRAAMs” and try get a move to 12.0.

Basically anything at 11.7-12.3 without AMRAAMs will all be trying to get moved down a step. Which will be fun for everyone below them.

F-15A vs MiG-21bis. Very balanced.

Honestly I dont even want the F-14D at this point I personally think the B should get 9Ms and the Phoneix get its proper stats

It wouldn’t be the first time an American aircraft has screwed up balancing ahem Mirage F1 and F-14 I’m looking at you

The Mirage F1C and F-14A are asymmetrically quite close in performance, though. The F1 is much better at close range due to Magic IIs, and the F-14A is much better at long range due to PD and AIM-7Fs/AIM-54A.

I’m talking before the Magic 2 buff. When they were both 11.3.

And Gaijin went “oh no the F-14 doesn’t need to go up at all!”

Thats when I got the F1 and I loved it tbh

Fair nuff, though I’m not sure how you’d have made that work if you came across a competent F-14 player

LMFAO this is how absurd GJ is with hating on US technology.

The F-14 had the most powerful radar in detection & tracking that was second to the F-22 is found at the same BR that a Mig21 is at!

Yet the Su27 & Mig29 which literally have modified Mig-23ML radar dishes because they could not produce the radars they wanted is at 12.7… armed with a missile that has the efficiency of the Aim4 falcon in Vietnam.

The R-27 & ER has a worst combat record in 1998 than the Aim7 sparrow in Vietnam.

Honestly its been 2 years so I dont quite remember but I still have over a 2 kd in the F1 if that says anything, it was my favorite jet in the game at the time funnily enough

At least for the F14B

Sure about that?

They add some radars on one air combat map. But will the radar provide information to the pilot in the future?
