The F-14A IRIAF at 13.7

I’d reckon that the existence of the kh-38mt is more plausible, considering the existence of the more complex LMUR.
Besides, the documentation could simply still be classified.

Meanwhile all of the mentioned above + the H145M with its shiny Spikes kinda further proves that the german program of advanced ATGMs resulted in a failure.

The kh-38 is an existing modular missile, which is being actively used.
The existence of the more complex LMUR obviously suggest that the the existence of the KH-38MT is quite plausible.

All of these are pretty much the same question.
Your just wiggling your way around them, since they belong to germany and the US.

Trolling, huh.
Well, whatever makes you sleep well.

The existence is certainly not impossible but there still isn’t any proof whatsoever and that doesn’t change just because you’re assuming things.

I’m not wiggling around anything. You just seem to have a very poor grasp about how weapons acquisition works in democratic countries. The German mod is not going to spend millions on a missile as a cover up, because there are actual checks and balances in place and why would they cover for a private company in the first place? And your statement about the Iris t is just blatantly misinformed.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt here.

Aaanyway so we’re not going too far off topic here I’m just gonna say: Get an actual grip on reality before you discuss things my dude.

Neither there is proof of it not existing.
Neither there is proof of the PARS and the york actually functioning.
Yet they are in the game.

I’m fully aware of how this stuff works in all these “democratic” countries.
Privatization of the MIC has pretty much turned all western defence contractors into permanent circus programs, where they keep coming up with impractial expensive garbage. And all these nice videos with “tests” and made up reports are simply used to make stock number go up, as well as a bargain chip, when begging the government to cut social funding, in favour of weapon contracts.
It is basically a private business whose whole point is to scam the money out of taxpayers.

The “non-smoker” version of this is when the MIC pretty much belongs to the government.
And the thing is, they dont have to put on a clownade to keep working. They just do what the government needs from them. And they surely dont have much of a need to report about weapon tests, nor publish classified info for some randos sake.

Delulu guy says “get a grip”.
Cute.

Thats not how burden of proof work lmfao. Something not exising is the default until proven otherwise.

There is literally a video and multiple documents when, how and under what circumstances it works or doesnt.

You dont. You think you do, because you need to cope that the inferior, corrupt circus western MIC has been putting anyone elses to shame when it mattered since the industrial revolution.

The impractical expensive garbage thats currently keeping a certain country in a 4 year deadlock via whats basically hand me downs? Yep totally not doing its job.

Weirdly enough the countries in question have both of these things. Benefits of having an actually working economy i guess.

Yeah because that has worked so great in the past and is perfectly showing rn how good its working lol.

Hm weird that the russian MIC usually doesnt have any problems reporting and showing those things when it comes to pretty much all other equipment we have in the game.

Youre literally living in an alternative reality dude. You have internet access. Please use it.

Reason why it went up is purely due to player statistics
not the vehicle itself

Since gaijin balances almost exclusively by vehicle statistics rather than their capability and the average player is a complete nitwit vehicles that have a low skill floor end up overtiered (F-14, Zero) because morons do well with them or morons will die to them often while vehicles with a higher skill floor (Su-30MKK/MK2) stay at an absurdly low br because morons can’t use them.

The Su-30MK2 for example is ranked as the second-worst performing 13.3 aircraft by KS alone
While the MKK is 6th

Spoiler

Since the J-11A is foldered, has no CAS ordnance (no grb stats) and players think it sucks (SPO-15 and slightly worse radar) the average player doesn’t use it

Spoiler

image

Resulting in it naturally being ranked 1st by KS
Which it should be if players weren’t morons

These stats above are all from July 2026

Now if we look at June, when the IRIAF was still 13.3, every vehicle besides the J-11A moves down by one position, putting the IRIAF at 2nd best vehicle ranked by KS

Spoiler

Does this mean the vehicle is op?
No
But bad players (the average player) is a moron and fails the awareness check fakour while all the IRIAF player has to do is spam missile, land and repeat (or go back to hangar to KD pad)

Funnily enough, the IRIAF is STILL doing well at 13.7 because of how bad the average player is
These are the stats of the past two months (August, July):

I can definitely see this thing going to 14.0 because gaijin’s balancing team is full of imbiciles
This plane was good at 13.0, mediocre at 13.3 and now it’s just bad
I love this playerbase

Oh, you mean like MORE fakours and phoenixes that you can EASILY avoid by precranking?

how is notching one of the most notchable missiles in the game a fixable issue…?

iranians claims its mach 5+ capable while western sources say mach 5…so they are fast
people forget the fakour is a pretty modern missile from 2017(physically same to the aim 54) but we know how far technology has come but we cant know to what extent since theres no info on how the seeker behaves and or autopilots but hey f14A at 13.7

If you are running to the side early match yeah you can avoid having to notch anything, probably you wont even be targeted in the first volley

But by doing so you are also being passive and allowing the other team to push and have more chances to steamroll your team

You don’t even have to run to the side. Just notch F-14 once you see the contrail and the DL is permanently broken.

You’re missing the previous context

If the previous context is pre-crank, anyone with some thinking would pre-crank fakours.

You can.
The majority cant, and thus doesnt.
IRIAF’s stats go up.
IRIAF’s BR goes up.
Repeat until it is at 14.7 I guess.

It really is as simple as that, theres nothing more to it. The stats speak for themselves.

That was not the point I was talking about

Different aspect only matters at closer ranges. at 50km away (where fakours are launched), a different aspect of say, 5km is a mere 5 degrees. It’s possible to just notch them all. I’ve had 3-5 launched at me at varying aspects but from the same direction, I notch the closest ones first then work my way down.

With enough situational awareness (and perhaps luck), you can notch multiple missiles at once even without vertical notching:
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDTtCNfyTxM)

Its speed still gives much less reaction time.
That basically made it unreachable for most SARH jets, which was anoying while it was still undertiered.
Even worse for those with near useless RWR’s

You have from the start of the match to plan out your approach given the giant Iran flag on top of the scoreboard

Pre notching and defeating F-14A datalink doesn’t even require chaff. It’s a HDN radar.

Literally turn 45 degrees away from the obvious F-14 contrails at 9km and all of a sudden you cant be hit by fakorus or phoenixes anymore. Furthermore, you can even pre-notch the TWS link and then it doesn’t matter either… pure skill issue to die to phoenix/fakour, no other problem

Hmm, die to fakour and literally have no further contribution that match or turn 90 degrees for 5 seconds then turn back
