You wrote earlier, no response. I gave you the response to your request 😉
No, its not p2w. With the Br12 you end up being eaten by AIM120s, RB99s before you can say anything. For me a real collectors aircraft that won‘t see mich light at its BR.
P2W is what the BMPT-72 is. It breaks everything at its BR, while the F14 does not.
Bear in mind that its alway BR12+1. Meaning that opponents will be BR13

The most broken BR is 13.3, because it feels designed almost entirely around premiums. Since top tier is 14.7, most 13.7+ aircraft get siphoned straight into top-tier matches, while 13.3 constantly gets downtiers. And those premium jets still get FOX-3s.
The only real argument for the F-14D being pay-to-win is its radar, but honestly, that alone does not change much. It would need buffs to other parameters before it could really be called pay-to-win. As it stands, it is still a pretty mid plane. Either the F-14s needs some sort of buff, or those 13.3 demon jets need their BRs changed.
For now it’s just pay 80 USD to get ejected out of battle by SU-30s

Replacing the AIM-54C with the AIM-120 would probably make more sense for a vehicle at the same BR around 13.3. I think good
Fox3 vs Fox3 not long rang because 53c to long

Yeah 54c at that br is kinda useless…its only good against bad rwr planes

Or just let it carry both of them At 13.3
it’s not going to happen for the 120.
Not good for low rate.
If the AIM-120 were added to the F-14, it would immediately change the aircraft from the role it was originally designed to perform. Such a change would have a significant impact on its intended role and employment. In many ways, it would represent a departure from the aircraft’s original mission profile.
This may sound somewhat contradictory. While the game aims to be realistic, that does not necessarily mean every aspect must match reality exactly. However, thorough testing should be conducted before introducing the AIM-120.
Given the F-14’s radar capabilities and speed, its performance characteristics would have a direct impact on gameplay. As a result, other premium aircraft at the same battle rating could find themselves at a considerable disadvantage due to their lower overall performance.
What I am discussing here is not Air Realistic Battles (Air RB), but rather Air Simulator Battles (Air SB). Air RB does not fully allow aircraft to utilize their strengths and capabilities to the maximum extent.
Every aircraft should have both strengths and weaknesses. This is important to ensure balanced gameplay and maintain fair and reasonable competition between different aircraft.

You’re in the minority too; Warthunder has hundreds of thousands of active players every day, and only 1,000 voted that’s less than 2% of the game’s community.

No.
You have a premium su 30 variant which is also kinda really good.
Russia/USSR already has “gold” in terms of premium verhicles and Jets bro.

A pantsir that has kinetic rockets, being the only true tank hunter SPAA at its br.
BMPTs
BMD 4 and BTR 80/82 which are the fastest Autocanon armed vehicles in the game.
Their MBTs carry APHE up to 9.0 which is oneshoting european MBTs armed with HEAT and APDS in most cases
Thei naval fleet randomly gets british and italian battleships alongside some really sturdy options like Izmail and sovjetski
And the list goes on and on…
Other nations need that good stuff way more than the USSR does rn.

I know I am not involved in that discussion but comparing Forum numbers to the entire Playerbase is kinda not reflecting reality.
I would take relativity into consideration here.
Comparing vote numbers of the forum to to other vote numbers on the forum.
Comparing the amount on posts of this topic to the amount of posts below other topics
and so on…
There is only a part of the community on the forum.
So saying that of all players only 1000 care is inaccurate.
Most people are not even aware of the poll propably.
You know that 90% of the player base thinks the forum is the most pointless thing ever because the people here have no idea what they’re talking about, and many are aware of the poll, but they simply don’t come back because they can’t be bothered

Ah, the typical trust me bro source.
Irgnoring two other arguments, interesting.

Doesn’t speak for me or the ones I know
No thanks, that’s how you get some abysmal planes to fly.
Balanced weapons at a reasonable br > best weapons at a br where it becomes unfun to fly the plane imo

It would be great if we could get the aircraft and its missiles as accurate as possible for now. Nobody wants to see a bad implementation of a plane, because that makes people lose interest in it from the start.
Gaijin may not add it as a tech-tree vehicle at release, but maybe it could happen later. Either way, correcting the vehicle’s implementation is most important during this testing period, before its performance and reputation are effectively locked in. Use time to this cause instead, the poll has been made and gaijin has seen it and know the present backlash.

Congratulations 👏🏼 you learned that in a statistic you can be part of the minority and that groups of people tend to have similar idea 👍🏼👌🏼

I mean he’s using a vote of 1000 people out of tens of thousands on the forum and hundreds of thousands on the game.
He could just say this poll.shows a large amount want this.
Which btw i do not want it premium and put into the game the way it is.
But ye doesn’t speak for the community, thats one hell.of a statement to make 😂😂

This poll still stands as the best clean indicator of what community wants. Reddit, YouTube and other media producing countless new posts against F-14D state only add to the whole picture.
