The F-14A is severely over-tiered at 12.7

Can’t it carry 2 AIM-54s and 3 AIM-7s along with 2 AIM-9s? Because I use that configuration

bad*

I only meant IRIAF, maybe give it R60M on stock as well? FK90 is still crazy good, considering I have like 3 seconds from RWR going off to getting into a full notch while dumping chaff just to avoid it.

yes, I remember ER’s (and sarhs in general) mostly being used to slam anyone who popped up too high in alt to avoid something at MP height rather than actual high alt duels. The ER was the best at this, but it was about as dangerous as the 530F when dipping below 100m

Bad?? Way better that 4S, 4J and FGR2

When you say way better, I assume you mean the addition of Headon TWS somehow outweighs having better notch angles and Radar + IR HMD. If that’s actually your line of thought, idk what to tell you.

It never got the R-60. It only has the AIM-9P and R-73 as available options.

Hyperbole. The Fakour is still one of the easiest decoyed radar missiles in the entire game. Despite it pulling 20Gs it can still be outpulled with relative ease.

If you have problems dealing with Phantoms in a F-14A you have a very real skill issue

The worst thing is youre complaining talking about the IRIAF version with R-27 and Fakours against Phantoms 😄

On one hand, yes it is.

On the other hand, and this is due to the caveat, no it isn’t.

BR decompression is necessary from 9.0-14.0 for air and ground. Air especially needs to go up to 15.0 or 16.0BR for the higher BR aircraft to be spaced out evenly enough so they can fight comfortably and competitively without anyone getting completely shafted out of being able to contribute.

The ER was definitely the best within ~10km, but things were more contested in the ~20-15km range since russian birds had 10km ACM range at the time where a lot of NATO options had 20km ACM range. So they would point and click on your nametag to shoot first while the russian player either was waiting to get within 10km, praying that the IRST would be able to acquire a lock and then successfully transfer it to the radar, or fumbling about with BVR targeting with radar sets with slow scan rates and absence of variable scan patterns that would result in the TWS contact on the radar being as much as 8 seconds out of date. Russia hands down had the best SARH but NATO mains would consistently ignore the heaping pile of advantages that they had on their side of the fence since they just took things like having reliable radar for granted. The Yak 141 and 29SMT had better radars than the Su-27/Su-27SM/Mig-29, but they had their own pile of warts holding them back such as the SMT’s abysmal flight model and the 141’s slow top speed and laughably small payload. Another thing NATO largely took for granted was the quality of their RWRs compared to the SPO-15.

I see now, you can use this loadout if you have it saved… lucky me I guess

Why can u still keep this?Mine preset like this has been deprived. The only difference is that I didn’t carry drop tanks.

dont know

An F-14, as much as I love it, is not gonna win in a flat scissors fight. The F-14 has a large wingspan and rolls slowly. Meanwhile the MiG-29 is the F-16A of the Russian tech tree.

Except they fly nothing alike and the mig29 gets scraped by most jets at its BR in a dogfight? no american teen jet loses to it.

I forgot to mention I was absolutely <5 mins of fuel left near my airfield (but not enough for AAA missiles to start firing.) I guess he messed up his line.
