It seems like Gaijin is deciding to add JH-7 though as a premium.
its 24 years newer than the F-14, completely unfair
And it’s not even going to be worth the squeeze. They still haven’t juiced the Myech radars up, so we’re still going to be sitting there refining target dope, and then the whole purpose of launching the missiles will be pointless as nothing Russia has in the game can sustain itself the way they’ve modelled the early AIM-120’s (which seem to be over-performing compared to the data people posted on them last year).
What the hell happened to the R-77 being “roughly on par” with the AIM-120C?
All the source documentation they’ll quote is the same scuttlebutt that Western sources HYPOTHESIZED the new Su-33 “super fighter” they all claimed would be the next evolution of the Flanker would be. AESA radar, R-74’s, R-77’s, potential rear-facing warning radar, all the BS that was way totally and completely wrong.
There’s like 30-50 Su-33’s rotting away somewhere, probably in the North or in the Far East, and they aren’t doing anything useful. When the Russian navy is conducting missions they’re using Su-30SM/SM2’s. The Su-30 program was so efficient and sufficient to the Russian navy’s needs, that they suspended development and then pivoted to Mikoyan for the true winner of the original USSR carrier sweepstakes (yes, my beloved Sukhoi OKB rigged the contest).
I love all the Flankers, and I want to see an Su-33 in game, but it is arguably the most pointless Flanker of all time, and I’m tired of pretending that it’s going to be some prestigious release.

Its a 1980s Su-27 but heavier and with canards. The F-14B is from the 1980s as well. Seems fair to me.

introduced 1998, F-14B introduced 1987
Okay… and? They designed the plane and then a little incident happened in Moscow preventing them from putting the plane in service when they wanted to. Its literally a 1980s Su-27 but heavier and with canards. They didn’t upgrade it until after the turn of the millennium and even then the F-14B is still better lmao.

WAIT! NO!
He’s right. There’s no way the 1987 F-14B could ever hope to compete with a 1998 Su-33, or 2003 Eurofighter or 2001 Rafale
The US NEEDS the F-22 and YF-23 and it needs them right now.

no F-14D would be more reasonable
Calling it right now China is about to get some very good aircraft and they want all the $ they can get
I’ve played 4 Matches today and gotten 9 kills already, and that’s with my massive skill issue. This is very “balans”

Why Germany didnt use IRST?
Nooo, why settle for less? If anything we should jump straight to the F-35. After all, the F-2 isn’t really that good either, and surely Britain can’t be left behind either.
Its just more practical if we go right there.
me want new chinese vehicles, give
