I’m not moving goalpost the BMPT is in Ukraine fighting right now, while the 1128 and m10 booker are both retired vehicles, sure the booker is newer but it’s old technology which was prolly planned years ago and the 1128 just doesn’t compete or compare with a BMPT at all, I feel like it’s pretty obvious they’ve juiced other nations, they’re about to release another Abrams that was made in the 2010s and still has the same armor as its 1970s counterpart and that’s “American cope”?
I don’t have a problem with micas being in the game, I have a problem with them having no match especially from the US TT perspective, 120s won’t pull right off the rail so you resort to shooting a 9M head on and well that gets 1 flared, and then on top of that the rafale can almost instantly turn into a notch,
Comparing radar-guided missiles with state-of-the-art heat-seeking missiles makes no sense whatsoever, given that the AIM-9X is ten times more lethal than the MICA.
Nice joke you know, the AIM-9Xs on the anti-aircraftdon’t actually exist, they’re just a figment of the imagination
They cover 12 km on the ground; you know that when fitted to a plane travelling at Mach 1.5, they cover twice that distance or more, don’t you?
The R27ER was not that big an issue mate, the F16a still kept up and dogwalked it in every other way bar that. And the initial G limiter.
For ARB the F15E absolutely dominated lobbies. Arguing that the F15I is objectively “better” isn’t changing the fact the F15E dominated those lobbies lol.
It still absolutely slapped when uptiered mate, to act like it didn’t and still doesn’t is disingenious.
Booker never entered service due to being outwith the limits whcih were set for it’s creation last I checked.
M1128 is slinging M900 at 10.3 man, it’s still potent AF for it’s BR.
or the 120S with M829A1 at it’s BR.
The reports still not answered yet ,as well that the turret armours buffed, and the internals got buffed last I checked.
Sorry guy this topic was about F-14D. Stop off topic please. And find the way to fix F-14D that our community want just like 7P and fixing stat of Phoenix.
i said it was very strong for its BR but not the strongest in the game. which was and is true. you dont seriously believe the IRAIF was better than the F-15JM right?
there was also the ET. both were by far the strongest missiles in the game paired with an HMD platform and usable FM.
It doesn’t even have official data under it. Some wiki , based on some claims a cousin of the best friend of someone in the government said. He is legit.
What we know is that it is a mix of a Phoenix body and radar and HAWK’s electronics and engine (upgraded or not and to what extend…no data) - I say 54s radar because MIM-23 was SARH…it had no radar and AWG-9 /54A works. If it has no radar and it’s a full HAWK missile in 54 body… it’s SARH not ARH.
Until the F-14D gets missiles in the same kinematic spot as Fakor-90’s Its a bust for me. The idea that the designers and engineers of the AIM-54C+ managed to lose 20lb of heavy legacy electronics for a newer lightweight and smaller electronics package but forgot to add more propellent or explosive fill for the missile is laughable.
They said they would try to “give it a nudge” just to represent the fact that the C+, which replaced the C while having the same stats in-game, is better in some areas. So you can probably expect something like +2 G, slightly higher speed, or slightly better chaff resistance, but nothing major.
What exactly was the F-14D designed for in terms of operational role and mission, But what exactly are we arguing and asking for in the first place
There are even comparisons being made between the F-14 and the Su-30, despite the fact that these two aircraft were designed for different roles and intended to carry out different missions
And how are we supposed to compare the AIM-120 AMRAAM with the AIM-54C when they were designed to fulfill different mission requirements
Perhaps it’s time to ask the players what they actually want: a fighter designed to launch AMRAAMs like every other modern aircraft, or a true interceptor that fulfills its intended military role Or perhaps it’s time for the R-33 to be introduced as a proper counterpart to the AIM-54C
F14D role in real life was supposed to be like the F15E it upgrades were supposed to allow it to use more modern armaments like aim120A,gbus,harms,harpoons, etc… basically everything in the navy’s inventory but funding cut reduced the f14D capabilities only apg71, lantirn package, avionics upgrades and few other things makes the f14D different from the f14B/(u)
If we want to be really specific, the F-14D should at least have access to the proper AIM-54C variants with accurate performance, whether that is the Mk 47 or Mk 60 motor version.
The bigger issue is that the in-game AIM-54C should not just feel like a slightly renamed AIM-54A. The C model had major guidance/electronics improvements, and the later ECCM/Sealed / ECP-82 configuration added even more improvements in electronic protection and sealed/dry operation.
A lot of the AIM-54C+ discussion gets messy because C+ seems to refer more to the upgraded AIM-54C/ECP-82 configuration than a completely separate missile. From what I understand, the main changes were things like improved ECCM/jamming resistance, the sealed/internal cooling setup, and on the High Power Phoenix side, things like the upgraded TWT transmitter and other electronics improvements.
So honestly, the exact in-game name matters less to me than the modeling. If it is called AIM-54C, AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed, or AIM-54C with ECP-82, it should perform like the later improved Phoenix it actually was, not like a barely changed AIM-54A.
