Pre-Order: F-14D Super Tomcat

The Aim-54A and C and C+ we have in game all have the Mk47 Mod0 engine, what are you talking about lmao

The degree doesn’t matter, it is objectively better than the tech-tree “equivalent” (Which really shouldn’t be the frakking F-14B) at the same BR.

Bro has no clue how a survey is done lol

The F-14D having a better radar than the tech-tree F-14 at the same BR is definitely a paid advantage. I just do not think that radar alone makes the whole vehicle pay-to-win unless the rest of the package also lets it consistently outperform the tech-tree alternative. If the aircraft is still mediocre overall, then it is more of a questionable paid advantage or sidegrade than a clear pay-to-win vehicle.

The Chinese Su-30MKK is a better example: if it is clearly stronger than comparable tech-tree aircraft while also sitting at a favorable BR and benefiting heavily from downtiers, then that is much closer to actual pay-to-win.

The air community, which I am a part of lol? so no again, he doesn’t speak for the entire air community either.

Lie all I want about what? Where have I even lied mate xD

I do so , but I also don’t want someone else to claim they can or do speak on my behalf huge difference.

Oh I do mate.

Suggestion for a possible tech tree F-14D (hopefully)

Suggestion passed in like half an hour from submission

Suggestions usually take closer to half a year

Since the addition of new members to our team we have cut down the backlog significantly. At the current rate our backlog will likely entirely be gone by the end of the month or soon after.

That’s amazing. Thank you for y’all’s hard work.

oh absolutely, i know you lot have been cutting that backlog down significantly recently, but 20-30 mins from submission probably won’t become standard even when theres no backlog:)

Any amount of P2W is still P2W, but even beyond that it’s just infuriating that the final service F-14 is now locked behind a walletwall and mediocre because of Gaijin’s continued attempts to sell it as a copy-paste…

Especially as they ignore all the Phoenix bug reports for multiple years, and not even giving the F-14D’s AIM-54C+ a block-60 thruster so it could at least be competitive with the IRIAF (of course, at a higher BR) :/

It is indeed, the worst.

Only from the submission side of things? as you guys usually work as much as you can.
It’s more the implementation as well , like will it take as long as usual?

Implementation of suggestions is not their job

That is the devs and devs alone

That’s what I was elluding to.
Thanks

Changing the meanings of words is very interesting. There is no p2w in this game. Only your skill in playing decides. If you can even slightly dodge missiles, no aim54/r77/aim120/mica will ever hit you on long distance.

No p2w but there is pay to progress and there are premiums that are better than their tech tree equivalents. Premiums should have equivalents in the tech tree. I think that’s the main problem. They are implementing new premiums with to that effect. Alpha jet, Puma, M60A1. If there was a tech tree equivalent almost all of these complaints would cease to exist. At the moment they are introducing the best American version of the F-14 as a premium only. That’s the problem. If it was an F-14 A or B variant as a premium people wouldn’t be so insulted by this.

P2W covers even the smallest advantage a player can have by paying. Are you really implying that selling a strictly better version of a tech tree plane (especially when the only other better F-14 happens to be $200+ on the market) at the same BR isn’t pay2win?
This also applies to french coastal Arras vs premium version Amiens which is also much better…
Stop being disingenous.
