12.7? Buddy it’s for F/A-18A. F-16A equivalent
Dude i literally made this up to troll my friends
Apologies to anyone who was involved
Just to make it clear, I am not 油库里, neither have i ever discussed anything with him. I troll with my friends every update and I always made sure to declar the list fake.
Apologies again for the possible inconvinences

list ends up being 100% accurate
It’s a pretty accurate guess of what I think the next update will bring lol
There are some wierd ones, like Skyflash active, We’ve already seen gaijin refuse to add modifiied Aim-9Ls or even really make Aim-9M all that unique from Aim-9L. When they can add Aim-120B instead, they will, less work.
i dont blame them entirely for this decision as it ultimately means less stuff to balance in a game with thousands of vics and weapons
Yeah, I get it, but it is none-the-less a bit of a shame. SRAAM, Red Tops, Skyflash. All need total overhauls and Aim-9Ls and Aim-9M are underperforming compared to IRL. Just a shame
I know it’s just a mockup loadout list but 9Hs do not belong at 12.X, let alone 11.7 (F-14A should have 9Ls.)

We gotta admit how fast the game evolves. Last year this arsenal seems quite threatening and now it is nothing special.
Doesnt matter if its gaijin being greedy or what, the game just changed from gen 2+ to 4 within a year.
Main weapon of F-14 are radar missiles anyway. A doesn’t need better sidewinders unless you want it to be 12.0

I would argue that the BR of 11.7 is sufficiently high enough for a plane like the 14a to comfortably have 9Ls - M2KCS4 sits at 11.7 with Magic 2s and that is a more potent airframe given the dogfighting meta.

*for now
I strongly suspect that was a mistake and will move up, we shall have to wait for the revised BR changes.
Stat based BR changes ftw - event vehicles usually escape these changes due to obvious reasons.
Yeah, Its possible it will stay put (small part of me hopes it does, will be fun at 11.7 in SB)
But we’ll just have to wait and see
With half the missile count, and don’t act as if 530D are comparable to AIM-7M

The “better” argument for 9Ls for the F-14A would be the Tornado F3 at 11.3 with 9Ls. but I dont know enough about the F-14As flight performance to really be able to comment (I play SB, and basically never fight against the US)
Though that argument hasnt worked so far for 9Ls on the FGR2

Same thing with the F15A
The only real downside of F-14A is not enough engine power. It turns very good with minimal sweep but struggles a lot in verticals. You can bleed it out of energy pretty easily
Actually I think that was them just trying to appease the US mains for their new top tier not being meta
