The F-14 is a big victim of br compression, was moved up so it couldn’t see planes it shouldn’t be able to and now it can see a different set of planes it shouldn’t be able to.
They need to decompress basically all the brs from like 11.0 up

In the meantime it would not hurt to give the F-14A 9Ls, and the F-14B 9Ms, and the IRIAF R-73s, to even the playing field.

If the vehicles had the kit irl then they should probably get it in game
I have. Idk what to tell you. Its literally all sahr missiles. been playing this game since 2016. It happens a lot. especially around patches due to the increased player volume affecting the servers.
They fight arh at 13.0 already. They do fine. The only real exception is once again eurofighters and rafale but those should be 14.3 minimum.
Yes! Correct! At 13.0! Keywords!
The 13.0 and the 13.3 matchmaker are not the same.
They are currently, only difference is you don’t get to club f4s noobs.
No? You show ignorance by saying that. It means a LOT more 14.0 games rather than ANY chance at 13.0-13.3 games.
I don’t though. At 13.0 you get a lot of downtiers due to the the f4s and other premiums dragging the mm down sure, but fundamentally 13.3 and 13.0 are almost identical because you mostly see full uptiers regardless.
I guess 13.0 is only playable because you can club noobs.
You do. You literally think the only thing that changes is “losing the ability to stomp 12.0s”
Not how that works. I suggest you study up on the matchmaker.
I don’t. They play almost the same. Only real difference is that you can’t club 12.0s. Sure you have to deal with more 14.0 planes but you have to deal with them already. Once we get 14.3, then there will be an actual difference.
I don’t think it’s the sever honestly I think that’s in your head because all missiles would suffer from this not just fox 1 missiles

They all are to a certain degree. Its why missiles will just fail to proxy sometimes. Its why sahr missiles just fly off into narnia sometimes. The server performance is at the core of many of the games bugs and issues.
Here’s a video that explored the issue but it’s still relevant.
Nah, 13.0 can see a maximum of four 14.0s per team per game, while 13.3 can see substantially more as its not a full uptier for them.
just like 12.3s can see uptiers with 6 or 7 F15As and what not but only a handful of 13.3s aka 4 per team.
The F14A can only realistically see 4 x 14.0s where as a 13.3 can see I believe its upto 8 x14.0 if theres even a limit for partial uptiers

Thats what i said. You can see more 14.0s. And there is no limit past a full uptier limiting the top br to 4x planes.
so 13.0s do not play the same as 13.3s at all.
The 13.0 can relax far more than the 13.3s can as a 13.3 is likely to be against more substantially better planes.
13.3s will see more games with more 14.0s in them than the 13.0 will see games with 14.0s.
As well as this, the 13.0s can go down into the 12.0 matchmaker when the 13.3 cant at all.
shows a lot when i use the F16A as well as most games are 13.0 rather than 13.3
EDIT: on the topic of missiles being dodgy as well, it really is noticable for me, I’ve seen my missiles phase clean through people or completely lose tracking while still locked onto the enemy, which usually relates to teh server issue.

They do though. The vast majority of your games are full uptiers to 14.0 at 13.0. At least that’s my experience in a bunch of 13.0 aircraft. You can see a full downtier and just club people who can’t do anything against you sure, but that isn’t the norm in my experience.

Seems to be the opposite for me man, if i go 13.3 or 13.7 its instantly sucked into 14.0.
But when i use 13.0 e.g my F15A, I usually go down to 12.0.
last 10 games in my F15A were as so
- downtiers 5
- partial uptier to 13.7 - 2
- full uptier to 14.0 - 3
I want your mm luck then. My last 10 games in the ice have all been 14.0 lol.
