like i said, teh F14A is better in every regard bar the radar and top speed, aim7F are more reliable than skyflash super temps, the FM is worse, speed bleed worse, retention, worse, thrust to weight, worse im sure.
the F3 is good in sim as i say for the last time, due to the radar being so effective its one of the best in teh game, by that standard it can compete against F15s and 16s with ease, that doesnt change overall teh tornado F3 in any form of prolonged, close range fight loses to the F14, ( of pilots with equal skills)
i mean if the falcon loses the ap belts i dont see why not moving it down, though it should be said the veak isnt that great of an spaa due to the fact it only has twin 40s, which are kinda crap without he-vt
The f14s radar is far from crap, it can effectivly find targets and lock them for the 7fs, which admitantly carries it in the bvr. But 7fs are that much better than the superTEMPS that it doesnt matter. Sure with the new fm the tornado is in a far better place but it only seal clubs ina fulldowntier, the moment you have f14s and other 12.3s your not doing much else apart from notching and firing off skyshits whcih miss as you always have 3 or more people hounding you down (might just be my terrible luck as ive even had a squad of 4 come up on me on an ec map in a long forgotten corner of the map). I would take an f14 over the tornado 8 out of 10 times if it was pure stats, i just prefer the look of the tornado. That is the only reason i grinded britian, they look better than most other nations.
and I would take the Tornado F3 over the F-14A every single day of the week. But thats just me. I’ve had no issues with it and in fact, might even dare play it more in ARB (especially with CM fixes), though I will always prefer Sim at the moemnt because its just better.
I will admit, 150 sim matches is inasne, however sim is vastly different to rb. radar and rwr are 100 times more important in sim than rb which does make the tornado a much better jet at the br. However in rb where you can just look with your eyes hundreds of kilometers away it really isnt as important (unless your the f104 asa without a directional rwr that is). In sim the tornado does beat out the f14 but in rb it is far from close.
Not really, its honestly very logical step prem wise. Adding a 3rd gen jet with ARH makes sense to try and sell. A viggen at 13.3 with 4 ARH and 2 9L’s would more than likely sell and get clubbed by proper fighters since the radar is hit or miss at times. Im.more suprised gaijin lowed the XS’s BR they seemed very intent on killing it lol
and most of those were in the dark days of forced uptiers vs Mig-29s and F-16s. (and shockingly bad MP) The fact Ive maintained a 2(ish) K/D despite that is actually not bad.
The tornados a blast in rb, but its not on par with f14s, and by moving it up it would have to face jets with arh missiles that also outclass it in the wvr fight. Do you want it to be slightly over performing in FULL downtiers or it to basically become a paper weight at 12.3?
when missiles would stop working half way through the match… Should i give tornado sim another try, it always seems daunting looking at the br brackets i would have to face.
Pick a downtier bracket and you just seal club Mig-23MLDs. Not a lot they can do unless you encounter the 1 competant pilot, then you have to use your brain.
Does still struggle a little vs Mig-29s, but its more managable
But that would require gaijin to make bols better than large countermeasures (for flares). As the nerf to them is correct for chaff but even then it should be comparable to small rather than what we have now.
I feel bad for the poor Gaijin intern who has to read 1800+ requests… then again they probably won’t even bother reading most of these and will skim through
If they gave it the phimat pod then perhaps but i doubt it, plus i really doubt they have the knowhow to separate bol to make them large flares and small chaff. Although i could think of a couple ways i doubt they would be able to…
