A good F-14A Pilot should in my mind consider this flaw, and fly accordingly
I would let loose the Phoenixes, remain hot until they are almost into pitbull range, then turn 90 degrees and dive to lower altitudes and thicker air.

there seem to be a lot of people who have gotten so used to the crutch of just hugging the ground, that they have completely forgotten how to dodge phoenixes and even other SARH missiles, since its now just back to how it was before they changed the meta to the tree trimming one.
You dont really need in wt ranges
The funny thing is when I’m in F-14A, quite often I see the enemy flying straight up against the AIM-54A and being sent back to the hangar, even though they are in an F-14B.
Average players in ARB moment 💀
Die in BVR when you have same weapon is near to impossible
But somehow the average F-14 player has an IQ comparable to room temperature and is often killed by the AIM-54.

I’ve been killed by F-14A’s and when that happens i know the missile is coming, but more than likely was a radar issue where the thing goes nuts and cant get a lock on anything, or does the tom cat shuffle where it locks on to a different target than what i have locked. At that point i just dont care and wait to go to the hanger. trying to use the 54’s at closer ranges can be done, but its a pain with the slow accelerating 54. I could dumb the load, but there are so many key binds and i hardly use that function cant remember it in the small instances i could actually use it.
I understand the resentment about the 27ER, but that’s another topic. In this context, the conditions are worse… on the one hand, 27ER and AIM-7M, which should be controlled by radar, and on the other hand, ARH…
You turned out to be one of the few adequate people in this discussion. I’m talking about the same thing. That even if we take the best SARH 27ER, it must be accompanied to the end. Therefore, the F-14 can release the AIM-54 and make a 3-9 maneuver, and its opponent is deprived of such luxury…
I’ll close the topic of killing allies. I AM NOT CALLING FOR TEAMKILL. The post was written on emotions and this phrase aims to draw the attention of developers to the problem of balance. You need to be able to capture the context, and not just see individual phrases.

The ARH missiles are far easier to defeat, the real problem lies in how easy it is to force multiple people to go defensive. Regardless, that has nothing to do with my comment.
By the way, do you know why the AIM-7F is so fond of flying anywhere but into the enemy, which is captured?
wdym?
It happens that you capture an enemy, launch a rocket, and it flies into the ground, into space… once she shot down an ally flying next to the enemy… I then thought that the AIM-9L could be transferred to an ally and launched the 7F… It seemed that she could also shoot down an ally, although he was ±50 meters to the left…
there was a patch a while ago that fixed this
No, the AIM-54A should be dead only if the supporting aircraft is killed, or it loses TWS lock of the target and 30 seconds pass.
Any way that this complain could change the fact? I can got the F14 A/B but I also want to play the other plane… This is BR setting is shit.
By the way, I had a question about setting up matchmaking. Why don’t they still reduce the Br fork to 0.3-0.7? So that, for example, the long-suffering F-4EJ play 10.3-11.7 br. This would solve many issues.
But worst ARH is still better the SARH
