Why would the mirage run at 4000m? It can dodge the aim-7m’s, if it can’t its likely for those to get notched.
Mirage can utilize that top speed to chase tomcat if tomcat has gone defensive in bvr.
I think i did indeed mention it earlier.
Does the deployed swings make you more agile than swept wings? yes. However you won’t still beat the instantenous turn rate of mirage with those wings.
The thing is that someone can know what they’re doing but otherwise this is not enough. Mirage 2000 can often close up to enemies that it faces, going inside irccm range forcing a kill.
F-14 has very shit ir missiles, not all aspect, no irccm, low maneuverability, youre lucky to get a kill even at close ranges. additionally you’re flying at average speeds, you can’t chase everyone anyway.
Considering that the mirage 2000 can defeat aim-54 without effort i can’t exactly say that this counts as a better bvr capacity…
While it has less missiles, it has better missiles. You can fire your 9H’s perfectly and they are going to miss or get dodged
You can easily force a situation where the magic 2 is undodgeable. Additionally because the 530D is extremely hard to dodge you almost always get a kill with those anyway.
F-14’s missiles are widely weaker therefore they don’t make up even in amount.
Speed coupled with magic 2’s, 530d’s and good maneuverability are absolute advantanges. The speed fully serves the irccm missiles. 9H’s aren’t effective at all.
Because its likely that the mirage will choose 1 circle it will have edge in the first engagement - if it can get a missile off or gun rounds off, it can get the kill. However this is too theory and skill based, f-14 would win if it failed in some situations - in the situation that the mirage can’t run away.
The f-14 might have a larger amount of missiles, but since the missiles are worse, it isn’t exactly better missile vice.
Seriously, the capacity to force a kill with irccm missile can’t be ignored. F-14 can’t do this. This is a huge difference.
As a hostile player towards f-14, you can dodge the aim-7m’s and you can dodge or flare the 9H’s without much effort. And if you are a fast aircraft, you can run away
You have a mirage behind you, you often can’t do shit even with flares
Mirage just is stronger because you can’t do much against it. Even if the f-14 had 8 aim-9H, it wouldn’t make up. Those missiles aren’t equal.
Mirage is also stronger when facing uptiers.

You have potentional - just like aardvark with the 8x aim-9b
However, you don’t have real force. You don’t force a kill by having a stronger aircraft. You do it by exploiting mistakes.
Again, a stronger aircraft doesn’t need to exploit the mistakes of someone to kill them whicha makes them better.
You can fight against something that exploits your mistakes - thats reasonable. 10.7 can do it.
Additionally due to f-14’s average speed you’re often more vulnerable towards heat seeking missiles. You’re also a bigger physical target and a heat target. You also burn your fuel quite fast.
