Again, just false.
Ah, the classic “this is not my main acc” response when someone figures out that you are not experienced enough to defend the topic.
I agree that it has its disadvantages but my whole point is, it provides enough info to defend yourself. Many planes suffer from lack of proper RWR but they are playable. Tomcat is too.
To notch, you need to turn 90 degrees, for that, you need accurate info on where the missile is coming from. Many RWRs that face tomcat don’t even let you know that there is a missile on its way.
It does, tomcat RWR doesn’t give launch/track warning for PD radars but it can show them as ? with accurate range.
This statement doesn’t even make sense lol. I stated typical behaviour of tomcat players, I stated that CCs joke about it. How does it come under trolling lol.
Let’s compare. Same RWR + CMs. Tomcat gets similar / slightly better missile loadout (depending on what you take). Better radar, MUCH better airframe. You believe these can be at same BR. lol.

Let’s see. Tomcat currently faces Mirage F1, Mig-23ML and JA37D. The frequency of this is higher due to popularity of 11.7 / 12.0 BR with premium planes. The RWRs on these planes just show the general direction of the threat (4 directions). 2 of these planes don’t even have track / launch warnings.
F-4S which is the most popular premium around that BR gets the same RWR as tomcat. Since you are complaining about facing radar missiles with that RWR, It is also unfair for F-4S to face ARH missiles. No?
This is false?
Don’t forget about F-104S/ASA which has RWR with ‘no direction alert’ at all!

Pitbull range is about 16km, and you can easily evade an aim120 within 6km. Thats a Mott point because you also have fakours that are even faster than the aim120 to make the phantom defensive too, so you also avoid being pushed by aim9m sideways. After a merge the f14 will do circles around the phantom, with higher top speed too in case he tries to run away
Tomcat fans bois are weird lol. They somehow downplay every aspect of the plane and act like the plane is the victim everywhere.

It has worse missiles. Aim-7Es are horrible, the Aim-9P is worse than the H, and the R-27R is worse than the Aim-7F in most aspects. The sedjeel is better than the F though you only get 2. The F-4S also gets HMD and its radar has better chaff rejection.
It’s not downplaying the plane. It’s just clear that it’s carried by it’s missiles that aren’t even that good.
Weird indeed. My reply was flagged by them lmao

Only thing that R-27R is worse at is the range. It’s better in all other ways. Fun Fact: You can actually dodge a sparrow kinetically by rolling with multiple control surfaces (provided u are supersonic and are on a fairly maneuverable platform). You can’t pull that off with R-27s
HMD is overrated on that plane due to lack of high-G missiles. As long as the target is flying towards you, chaff isn’t gonna affect the radar lock on both planes. Once the target notches or goes cold, both will lose lock due to lack of MPRF modes. Tomcat radar can reliably find and lock targets at longer ranges. It gets TWS which can reliably hold soft lock at longer ranges too.

Aim9P is a side grade to the 9H, worse range, better pull off the rail. The 27R is superior to the 7F in most aspects, so it’s the other way around. Stop spamming disinformation.

One of the best airframes under 13.0. Very good radar. One of the best radar missiles with excellent range. You are just downplaying the plane lol.
I’m aware. The 27R is worse in acceleration though if I remember correctly. And I value range with Fox-1s.
The Aim-7Fs pull 25G. Unless the target is like 3km away plus, the Aim-7 is going to be able to pull in as soon as the HMS reaches.
I find the F-4S keeps its lock a lot further into the notch than the F-14A. Both don’t have MPRF modes, that’s obvious.
you clearly have no idea how top tier is played, also keep telling me how good a missile YOU DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO is. You aren’t dodging an aim120 under 6km bro nor is the fakour90 better you have like 10 miles range over the aim120 (I have both so I CAN speak) avoiding a fakour 90 is criminally easy since it’s just a super aim54
aim9p is worse lmao, 2 more Gs for half the range, some side upgrade, both missiles would be utterly ancient for 13.0 where r73 and aim9m are, r550s are even lower.
The range is infinitely more important than a measly 2 Gs. I’ve hit 4.6km shots with the Aim-9H. The R-27R also has less range than the Aim-7, but makes up for it with the IOG and Datalink, I would say those 2 are more sidegrades than the two Aim-9s.
???
The only advantage of the 7F is in situations where your target has plenty of time to avoid both missiles anyway. In short ranges the R-27R is much harder to defeat because of inertial guidance and you can also abuse DL mechanics to send “sneaky” R-27Rs
Aim7F doesn’t pull 25G off the rail. It has to be quite fast to pull that, like in a shot down scenario. Don’t guide yourself by stat cards, having a high G limit doesn’t mean the missile can pull tight turns. Like the aim120, although it can pull high Gs, it doesn’t have fins to make tighter turns at slower speeds and it will just undershoot targets at HOBS in short range.
F-16A, MK-2000, Mig-29 (in full real that thing is a beast still), etc…
That doesn’t mean they will avoid the missile though… I’ve gotten many kills from 15km+ shots with the Aim-7F. I don’t trust the 27R past 11km.
I don’t think that’s abusing DL lmao. I think that’s using the missile tactically
Again, I’m aware. They ramp up. That doesn’t change my statement.
Slightly worse acceleration at beginning. The difference isn’t significant enough. R-27 is still superior at closer ranges due to better G-load.
If the target is at a distance, you might as well lock with ACM mode as you need to point nose closer for the sparrow to reliably track anyways. Lack of HMD only hurts when you have missiles like R-73, Magic 2 or 35G+ radar missiles.
Maybe placebo effect?
