I think it is high time to give the F14s better IR missiles.
Considering that the F-15A, the MiG-29G, F-18A and C (Early), F16 ADFs, Mirage 2K, 4K and what not get all aspect missiles, the F14As should get the AIM-9L and te F14B should get the AIM-9M. Either that or lower the BRs.
I think that the F14A itself should NOT be higher than the F18 and F16, it makes no sense. It has a worse radar, worse airframe and worse defenses since its engines burn very hot. Abysmal engine power and lack luster IR missiles add to that. Either give it its 9Ls or move it down.
The F14B is just outclassed by everything since its radar is once again very bad since it lacks HMD and a general PD mode,whilst it doesnt get any IRCCM missiles.
Sure both have Fox-3s, but it really isn’t a challenge to dodge an AIM-54, and in that BR bracket players should be expected to know how to not fly directly towards one. I mean the phoenixes literally have a smoke trail screaming “look, i am here, exactly here, literally showing you where i am right now and where i am going”.
Vehicle: T64BV
BR: 9.7 —> 10.0
Seeing the Shir2 and the AMX40 rightfully go up in BR to 10.0, it’s only fair if the T64BV moves up as well.
It’s got better armor stock than the leo2k and the amx40, and even better with the ERA package. it can eat their apfsds rounds reliably if somewhat angled. It’s got a greater apfsds than the 10.0 tanks mentioned, and a better reload than the leo2k and amx40 (without the aced crew). what it lacks for is the mobility which makes it use a different playstyle, giving it a more relaxed playstyle of sniping and eating rounds.
I mean ofc its important but the brenus makes ip for it in every other aspect.
Like if it had an 8.7 round and no thermals it would likely be extremely difficult to use.
However seeing as it has a myriad of other boons it makes up for the lack of a stab.
In most other cases id say it needed a stab but this and the 30b2 are alright.
They can do alright in cqc as well, you just have to be patient and less aggressive
Yeah it definitely has some pros going for it, but lacking the stabilizer in lobbies filled with tanks that have it doesn’t really feel right from my experience. But of course this is personal preference and people have different playstyles.
@jspene
I’ve played tanks that don’t have it in lobbies filled with fully stabilized enemies and I simply didn’t like it. Extra features that BRENUS has surely do help but I don’t think I’d enjoy it that much simply because of that reason.
I really dont see reason to move AMX M4 and AMX-13 on 7.0
AMX M4 armor is average at level 6.7
For the firepower of the AMX M4 gun is basically at the level of the long 88 which is the most used gun in german techtree on 6.3-6.7
In mobility is AMX M4 also average for medium tank on 6.7
AMX-13 is extremely average on level 6.7 in armor, firepower and mobility
