Pre-Order: F-14D Super Tomcat

Can we just have the pre-nerf F-14 at this point? It’s 2026, we have the ability to counter the F-14. It’s okay, Gaijin, you can make this plane good again.

The G-load ok, that’s according to data.
The speed however… where that 5,7 mach came from?
On the other hand that’s max speed, you can go 15km alt and shoot one on a target that flies at 4km for example. But still…

irl late A models got “bombcat” upgrades except JDAM since 1998 to 1999…

Some video demos:

The preorders for F-14D must have been terrible for gaijin to act out on phoenix bug reports lol.

Yeah. They made AIM-54 somewhat relevant to not add AIM-7P

I love how this cements the belief that bug reports wont be acted upon unless it hurts gaijins money. Now only if more people realized that.

We can also note that A LOT OF aircraft got better ordnance options, some even reported 2 years ago.

Seems like both my Italian premium and AD-4s magically had their pylons modeled this update huh?

In terms of turn performance:

AIM-54A and AIM-54C:

Sometimes I think it’s not just the game that’s biased; the players can be too

Why do those players think that way? I believe every aircraft has its own strengths, weaknesses, and playstyle. That’s what makes the game fun. If we can demonstrate a machine’s capabilities, even a supposedly inferior aircraft can still win in the right hands.

Also, could the problems you’re experiencing be more related to Air RB? There are often too many aircraft in a single match. Things might be very different when compared to Air SB.

I think the only time you will find “balance” is if you play a Custom, where you can kinda-sorta control things. Like with Pubs, you’re having to face everything under the sun, but if you play, say, America vs Russia, you can control a Su-30 vs F-15, or F-16 vs MiG 29.
