1016 replies to this, and Gaijin has yet to accede in any matter other than just giving F-14D and B the AIM-9M. Their bug report mods have actively lied about AIM-7P compatibility, and the bug report for fixing the F-14D so it isn’t carrying a physically impossible AIM-54 variant only just got accepted…
And we still have the lead microtransaction shop dev telling customers and players alike that he’s not out of touch, they’re just wrong.
Releasing a tree version would be a win-win tbh, especially if they add F-14A-65-GR to the mix as a squadron vehicle.
People who grind up to the TT F-14D get to experience it, and decide if they want to pick up the premium version for grinding future aircraft even faster.
People who buy the prem F-14D get to grind the TT one and other aircraft far faster, plus get exclusive skin.
People who grind/buy the F-14A-65-GR get AMRAAMs on their F-14.
Everyone’s happy!
To be fair, the seeker head is still one of the worst for ARH. They just had the particularly insane idea of slapping it onto a Hawk SAM booster, which from the ground is already capable of 50Km(?) range with good speed and acceleration… And launching it from an aircraft only increases that performance.
How is a k/d of 1.7 bad? Since you are an experience veteran here surely you have the tomcat and surely have the authority to decide if it is good or not and what should happen to it
All I can say is I’m lowk proud of the War Thunder community for fighting for the correct loadouts. We collectively sent over 1K messages to prove to Gaijin what they did was horrendous.
Not done though, we still need 7Ps and the correct Phoenix missile.
