Hawk Mk120 LIFT of the SAAF at 10.7/11.0 (Can easily cosplay as the RAF Mk.128s, RAAF Mk.127s, & Indian Air Force Mk.132s. Though arguably for sim the BAE Mk.132 improved would be the better option, nicer cockpit, with a better HUD) Need some better SAAF representation :P
Mk.120 & Mk.127 cockpit for those intrested cockpit
You have to play insanely defensively, deliberately staying at the back of the pack and looking for people in bad spots.
Its hard work, but the FA2’s decent climb rate means you can at least get some height behind your missiles. Though I havent played in ARB in it in a a few months. Usually I play it in ASB where I dont have to worry about the full uptiers.
Sure, in ASB it’s fine, but the FA.2 has literally nothing to offer in ARB and staying behind just causes you to usually not get any kills, because as I mentioned, everyone else gets their missiles to the enemy first
Again, my experience has been that about 95% of my AMRAAMs arrive at their destination way after the target has already been killed by someone else. The FA.2 just doesn’t have the speed to secure any kills
All planes with RIO need to get the RIO modeled. Other than that the F-14A is fine the way it is.
Afaik the AIM-54s are as close to realistic as they can be with how Gaijin models missile flight performances.
Oh and an Omani Hawk 103 would be a nice premium/event, it’s one of the most unique Mk.100s with both the improved RWR & the only model to feature the nose mounted FLIR
Aim-54 with probably never be fixed. Unless the F-14D comes but even then, it would probably just be a whole new missile so the other F-14’s don’t benefit from it
