I think they should put it at 13.3 see how it goes if to broken it should go to 13.7 or just remove the aim120 but people don’t want to supposedly make it worse with the compression because we want decompression but it wouldn’t make sense because it would be moved when decompression happens for rank 8 and some think missiles count matters but gajin proved it didn’t with the su30mk2/mkk and it also depends either if you don’t really count 4x fox2 irccm/4x fox3 missiles to be affective as having 6x fox3 and 2x fox2/6x fox 3 and not just the count that most +13.0 have 8 missiles in general and then you got Flight model capability’s and avionics capabilities that separates 13.3 arh slinger from 13.7 fox slingers ohh and some think f14D w/ aim120A aren’t compatible even tho they are
I beg you make a TT version, and give it its 9ms for god sakes.
oh boi i cant wait to play this update and use the SU33 AND J11A to farm these noobs in the jet i wanted
Where’s my aim7p and aim9m???Are you saying that with 6 aim54/aim7M(not even 7p) + 2 aim9L can compete with 8 r27er + 4
Isn’t the F-14D version heavier than the F-14B? Essentially canceling out the increased thrust…
Their is no increased thrust they lied plus I don’t think you’ll notice the extra weight anyway
Yeah I did a little research after that post and they have the same engines as the F-14B from what I can find… It’s a waste of money
Genuinely wonder if we’ll get an official response regarding the backlash about this in particular. I don’t think I’ve seen this much backlash for a premium before.
I mean, Smin & Co avoiding this discussion is very telling
I’ll give them the benefit that its the weekend currently.
I was talking about the alternate motor for the pheonix, not about the tomcat.
To be fair 14D is something like 900 kg heavier. That should be noticable when you mirror the configuration in fuel and armament.
However , because F110 engines have more than enough thrust you wouldn’t really notice on first view.
This thing does affect how a dogfight between them would go , though.
In a sustain B would win. However, if you start from supersonic speed 14D will bleed speed/energy faster than 14B , that means it can easily catch you on sleep and pull a gun or missile.
BUT and that’s the kicker , F-14D had DFCS …that means you could go all out every time. In 14B you still need “hands” .
So , yes…
It’s a tone heavier isn’t the whole story. But i don’t know how these things show and at what quality in game . In RL though, i’d most likely bet on 14D…because you just go “limit” from the get go. No loosing time to “feel” or “calculate” . You can just be agressive.
And that goes with the sensors. With IR you can use clouds or if it is night you have full tracking even if the you close the radar not not trigger RWR etc. With TCS …you have limitations.
So, in practical scenarios in 14D you’ll have tech compensating for more weight.
Now in game…
I don’t know. It’s the GJ factor …
You’ll probably lose from a B or they would be…completely identical. (both solutions not even close to reality/realism and how those planes would behave…)
Every F-14 variant has DFCS in later service, including A model
The F-14B and F-14D have the same engine thrust the dev stream was just wrong
Did we will have TT variant?
For now - no)
[Cry]
I didn’t talk about engine thrust being more on 14D. I’m saying the 14D should be heavier but the F110 engines are powerful enough that you shouldn’t notice the difference on first sight.
About the dev stream , yes they were wrong, fortunately.
Yeah the D didn’t have the cooling systems for the AIM-54A and C it could only use the AIM-54C+
I guess it’s time for someone to think and prove at least some better weaponry is needed (physically, cuz i cant cool my missile by tranferring my thoughts about it in noosphere) cuz my main issue is lack of 54C+ on a thing. If it would be there probably i would even buy it for like 5000 RUB, but now it looks like a Su-30 food without its even basic armament (taking into account the low acceleration on AIM-54 as a whole, I guess, better ECCM capabilities would be a fair trade against much faster missiles at least).
