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.
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)
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.
