Su-27 has trash RWR compare to F-18’s.
Its better than F-14A tho.
Also problem isn’t the notching its the reaction time when fakours appears on your RWR screen, due to some interesting choices from Gaijin they don’t give you radar warning until they are in 8-10km range which is a very narrow window if you’re at high altitude with heavy fighter (like Su-27-30).
I feel they are weaker now and thats because it’s not other F-14s, MiG 23 and the odd 29 and F-16
It’s massively more agile and advanced airframes.
I dont think an F-14 wins in BVR against a Su-27/33/30
Tomcat still holds the Fox-3 advantage over Su-27/33 and range advantage over premium Su-30’s with fakours.
Now sure ER’s are great but if Tomcat player is little bit smart he can easily go cold while forcing you to notch with those Fakours.
Some of the smart Tomcat players did this to me, eventually they died to my second ER tho due experience differences.
But in order to kill them from 40-50km range you need to get into high altitude and achieve high speed before launching those ER’s which can put you in disadvantage position sometimes.
You have more missiles a superior FM and better missiles better Radar and an HMS.
You have to notch 4 Aim54/Fakours and then it’s game over ET and ER and if they survive that you have 4 R-73
There just isnt really a world were an F-14A/B or IR should beat a 13.0 Su-27/33
First of all Radar is trash on Su-27.
Second of all despite having superior missiles Iranian Tomcat sits at same br as Su-27-33 due to how effective Fakours are.
They have insane speed,range and quite big warhead which can cause splash damage even if you notch or multipath it.
In my book Su-27 is the king of 13.0 but Iranian Tomcat isn’t as bad as most people claim, its one of the few jet that has Fox-3’s at 13.0.
Also F-14B can beat Su-27 in dogfight and BVR thanks to better flight performance and better electronics.
Su-27 can’t beat F-14B in dogfight unless its on low fuel with R-73’s, otherwise 14B just easily outrates and kills Su-27.
Fakours were strong but not to players who know how to notch a 120 or an ARHM. Which the majority at that BR kind of do. Yes you can grab the sleeping player but you can do the same at top tier with a 40km 120 shot.
It is not indicative of a good missile. Now the F-14IR had a troubled start it was facing jets that were beneath it with a missile that was hard to defeat. A high flying F-4 was never going to be able to notch it while an F/A-18 and Su-27 can easily get into that notch angle removing the threat posed by that missile.
I refute that an F-14B beats a Su-27 in BVR for the reason well the Su-27 has the R-27ER and if a MiG 29 with the R-27ER was dominating F-14s, Tornados and Phantoms then the Su-27 is a massive upgrade over the 29.
The F-14B has 9Ls which are all aspect and a 7M which brings more to the level of competitors (I don’t have the F-14B)
Su-33 is excellent though the amount of missiles the flight performance I mush prefer it to my IR F-14
When I said it can beat Su-27 I wasn’t trying to say it can kill Su-27 easily.
What I’m actually trying to say is due to having much better Radar,RWR and Fox-3’s F-14B can simply force Su-27 go notch or low while flying straight into the battle zone, or better yet it can simply spam Phoenix missiles and can easily survive against ER’s due to having digital modern RWR.
It should have got that 9M’s long ago. As for the sparrows it can get 7P’s as well.
Even tho I haven’t finished Su-33 I also prefer it over Iranian Tomcat.
14b does not beat su27 in the dogfight guns only
My favourite way to haunt the F-14’s is with ET’s haha, they are as hot as a nuclear reactor and sometimes the ET’s still track them even while they drop flares. (Kinda like the F-15’s)
more like a nuclear reactor during meltdown, those TF-30s are toasty.
R-60Ms is my preferred way if i have them. With how hot the engines are even they quite often go trough flares
Is this another custom hangar? I’m using cargo port custom hangar and never saw this one before.
This is such a weird feeling, to not have an aircraft without any glaring weaknesses. You constantly have to compensate for something, be it missile count, radar being the worst, having analogue RWR or having engines that can barely lift your massive titanium balls missiles… But SM2 just does everything well enough while excelling in several parameters.
No this is just the one they put on every game around Christmas and new years.
absolutely cursed missile order
I hope that every match you get with that loadout ends up with you crashing at the start due to packet loss and getting crew locked.
Disgusting.
I hope those R-73’s do 360 and shots you down while R-77-1 and ER goes to space.
Fine, fine, i fixed it
where are you from I need to know the correct slur to use.
