It is the same BR as the F15A
Without a All aspect radar and no IRCCM
I don’t think the AIM-54s plus 9Ms are gonna break the game or be unfair

Then why is something like the 29smt 13.3? It’s worse bvr and worse wvr aside from r73? It’s not about being unfair. That br is already the most compressed br in the game. F14b with aim9m should absolutely be 13.3 imo, especially in sim where aim9m is basically free kills if you get close enough. F15a is probably under br’d anyway. the only thing that holds it back is the terrible bvr missile.

Not good enough evidence for Gaijin
Regarding FM, not all around performance
Hi @Smin1080p_WT, sorry to disturb
But would like to check why this pretty well research bug report for the Type 10 protection has been rejected?
Are the sources provided not credible enough, not up to standard, or something else?

FM wise the F-15 has better energy retention and is overall significantly lighter, also a much higher T/W while still capable of pulling high Gs

Or gaijin back add fighter aircraft rank V ~ VI (BR 6.7, 7.0, 8.7 & 9.0) in late 40’s ~ early 60’s for USA, UK, USSR, china and france ?
How do you feel about this ?

Are the devs back from their holidays now, just out of curiosity?
It’s good and I want these things too, but clearly gaijin’s focusing on top won’t change
just hope some more crumbs could drop from the top to mid br.
now when ground top almost come to the end, we may see more crumbs for lower ground br.
gaijin will quickly do these fix update things if it can be done easily, it’s like no top air update for US for half a year, impossible.

What you have said makes no sense
F14B at 13.0 with AIM-9Ms is still worse then a F15A due to the F15A having a better radar and better countermeasures due to 240CMs not BOL
The only advantage the Tomcat has is AIM-54A which is not as great as people act (AIM-54C is just worse by the way)
The SMT comparison doesn’t really work either as i don’t know why it is at the BR anyway

F15a has the worst BVR missile for the br, thats the only reason it’s even at 13.0. It should probably be 13.3 already. F14b at 13.0 with aim9m would be the best 13.0 hands down.
See what you’re talking about now is decompression, unless the F-15A and SU-27 move up from 13.0 the F-14B with AIM-9Ms would still be 13.0
not bad

Decompression is the real answer here, but until then the f14b should be 13.0 as is, 13.3 at least with aim9m. The only reason su27/f15a are even at 13.0 is because they lack a fox 3. With aim9m the f14b is just better than the f15a/su27. Especially the su27 who’s only real advantage is the mid r73 and the r27er.

Are there any other differences than 1200 hp engine?
It’s really not, I’d take 6 R-27ER and 4 R-73 over 2 AIM-9M and 6 AIM-54s any day, I’d also take the SU-27 over the F-14 even ignoring the missiles because HMD is amazing
Even with the upgrades the F-14B wouldn’t be the best 13.0, right now it’s just tragic, they should give the F-14A AIM-9L as well while we’re at it
I’d rather have a decent rwr and i wouldn’t run 6x aim54 but 4x aim54 and 2 aim7.
