Pre-Order: F-14D Super Tomcat

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.

2S38
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.

A sample size of 1000 people is incredibly good, and if the population size is in the hundreds of thousands it represents the population with extreme accuracy.
~ someone with a minor in statistics.

So you agree with him…

Then state the pole shows that, not that he speaks for the community.

Good for you a minor in statistics.

1000 in a pool of 250000 is nothing.
Sorry but statistically speaking its not that much at all, especially as an indicator for what a community wants.
Its.not even 0.5 percent of the forum population never mind the game / community of over 70 million accounts.

Not really what i said, i said i agree that in its current state shouldn’t be added and nor should it he premium, thats not what he said.
As well as that even if I do agree, that doesn’t give him the right to speak on my behalf.

He could of said that the pole shows a large amount of people agree with him.
not that he speaks for us all basically

Youre just wrong. Like flat out wrong. The amount of time it would take to educate you on sample sizes, random attributes bias, R values, P values, etc . Is too large.
As you progress in school you’ll eventually learn what I am talking about.
But as someone with the education, unlike you, to know better, this poll absolutely does represent the population of warthunder and its desire. To a significant margin

Brothers got a minor in stats and trying to tell someone with tertiary studies from cambridge he’s in school.

You wanna talk about the MOE or the confidence level that the statistics prove or do not prove ?

My point is the man doesn’t speak for the community the bloody pole does.

Reckon my educations better than yours mate but pop off without knowing a thing about a person.

Acting like you’re smarters and indication that you’re insecure in that area.

I used to think the forum was dumb because you could have the most well researched, Thoughtfully worded submission or bug report ever and gaijin would just say ‘No’

And yet you don’t have the intellect to understand he’s using the poll to speak for his platform.
So anyway, lie all you want, I don’t even care. You literally want what we all want, the correct implementation of the f14D and it to be in the tech tree.
