The Absolute King of BVR - Now With Lofting! | F-14 War Thunder

[@craigwilson9946]

Its probably a controversial opinion, but I think heavy bombers should be added. In mainstream AB and RB matches, there could prehaps be a few ai bomber flights on the EC maps, much like the attacker flights. But then should also be in the tech tree. Although they should be limited to either sim matches, or a reworked version of heli PvE mode where bombers and strike aircraft are more viable for those wanting to get away from the very TDM like matches in normal AB and RB

[@GeneralLee2000]

That's fair. My point was more that they wouldn't work in typical air RB as player controlled vehicles, I would love to see them as AI for sure.

[@undeleteduser]

I really like the idea. But they could make a way so that people would escort you and get points for it

[@stephencrompton4352]

Air RB (mostly for top tier) just needs to be completely reworked anyway. More nuanced game play would allow for more verity of aircraft types to be effectively used.

For F-14 I run: 2 Pheonixes, 4 AIM-7s and 2 AIM-9s. Pheonixes are bit of a meme so just climb, fire them at enemy climbers if you get kills then great if not it's back to missile jousts with AIM-7s and use 9s on unsuspecting fellas or use them to force them to turn

I have actually taken up your tactic you said in a earlier video that the first aim54 is good for catching people off guard but the second one is way harder to dodge

[@Kyleplier]

Technically the F-14, even in War Thunder is a rate fighter, meaning it does a 2 circle fight well. It’s when you get too slow is when you’re in trouble. As any aircraft that’s great in a radius fight aka a one circle fight, you’re almost guaranteed to lose. Keep the speed up and keep in the rate fight and you will have a good chance to win an engagement.

[@evangalinsky2499]

If they're gonna nerf the thrust to Mk47 levels they should at least also make it smokeless, like the Mk47 was designed for. It'd sure as hell make it harder to dodge, since you wouldn't be able to see it unless they give it a permanent diamond OR give it the missile diamond while in pitbull range (since they actually fire off already active in WT, also I think they should do that for all Fox-3 missiles especially because almost all of them have smokeless motors). Doesn't matter to me tho, I don't play anymore, thank fuck. Also, still not convinced the 54 actually lofts. When you pointed out that example, you also fired the missile intentionally pointing your nose upwards, and then dropped it after. It kept around the same angle you had when it launched, it used to do exactly that. And I didn't really see it bend either, even looking at its trail. It just looked like it was lofting (I guess it was, just forced) because you were no longer at that same climb angle, so it drifted above your nose. To truly test if it actually lofts, you'd need to fire on a very slow moving, large target as far away as possible, while having your nose level, not flight path level, nose level, and as slow as you can get, co-altitude with the target. This will make it so it HAS to loft if it wants ANY hope of hitting the target. Something like a PBY or BV-238 at like 20k feet and preferably around 75-100km away.

[@GeneralLee2000]

I can tell you 100 percent for certain it does loft against faraway targets, I've done testing as well. If you're in my discord I can show you too. :) The Mk 47 wasn't smokeless BTW, that was the Mk 47 Mod 1.

Only time I’ve been more pissed off at gaijin is when their Gepards one shot headshot my pilot going Mach or higher. I’m Aim54 are supposed to be easy to defeat. You’re supposed to be able to literally just notch it and it’s done. Yet notching AND 30 chaff did nothing?.. okay..

[@rangomangogamer8919]

If you don’t maneuver then the missile will use the last information it got and will intercept you regardless, if you maneuver it will not maneuver with you if you had notched and chaffed it would’ve lost lock and no longer is tracking you, it was just tracking your last radar signal.

[@brendensmithmusic278]

I think they should add awaks to rb. Playable with no kills but u get decent money for intellegence when someone on your radar gets killed. Im not to the jets yet to know how radar already works for fighters. But you get some accurate radar. Then u got 1-2 awaks max that can be played per game first come first serve. They don’t show up in the sky with red names like ab. But they constantly show up on your data link radar or something. Some way to do it thats realistic and badass. It could be op so thats why i think it would be limited so theres no constamt awaks if the enemy is skilled enough to take them out. Also theres a tree for awaks so not everyone has the same one etc.

I actually believe that the Yak-141 is superior to the F-14.

The only problem with it is its relatively low top speed and 4 missile slots (again, counteracted by the option to have 4 R27's).

Personally the energy retention and the ability to carry 6 AIM-7Fs puts the F-14 above the Yak IMO, although it is very good. I just wish jt was allowed to carry 4 R-27ERs, that would be nutty

@@GeneralLee2000 I forgot to mention that the zhuk radar has about an 85° horizontal himbal limit, meaning that you can hypothetically notch whilst keeping your radar on target. Also, the lack of energy retention is very much counteracted by the sheer, incomprehensible acceleration of the Yak.

No, the missile seeker doesn't care as long as the target is being illuminated by enough radar energy.

[@СергейКленовский-ч4ц]

Missile doesn't care about chaff if it's internal Radar is in PD mode. Doesn't matter what your plane locks as long as there is moving target in lock cone, your missiles will go after that target. Mirage F1 sucks for the reason that it doesn't have PD radar mode either it's missiles, so they get chaffed as easy as AIM-9C/R-3R do.

[@GeneralLee2000]

Nope, the missile is exactly ss prone to chaff in PD as it is in normal TRK. The reason your missiles in the Mirage F1C get eaten by chaff is because they don't have a CW seekerhead like the sparrow, they have a Pulse seekerhead which will eat chaff every time, even in PD.

Then don't play top tier, it's pure cancer. I have shitload od jets and im not playing them

the f16 is gross rn w 9Ls acting how they r

[@wunderwafelek9740]

Nope r27er is still better

[@GeneralLee2000]

Well yes, but you don't get 6 of them and the F-14s radar

[@Zx17OPv57i]

this guy killed 4 people in 20 sec and say " it's not a how you win the game with 6 phoenix" what a joke

[@GeneralLee2000]

That was an unusual match 😅 that's not typically how that would go. But me showing all the matches I fired a bunch and got 1 or no hits isn't fun to watch.

[@vaderyt7833]

just waiting for the F15 and AMRAAMs

[@GeneralLee2000]

F-15A can't carry AMRAAM BTW, so we probably won't get that combo just yet

[@Skim_beeble7125]

F16 is much better than the f14 I have more aces in the f16 and I’ve take 2 f14s at the same time I honestly target f14s as they are dangerous for my team who doesn’t see them yet and that’s it imo

[@stealthyfuck3217]

How are you cycling targets on tws without slaving radar?

[@josephrosenbaum3343]

it still doesn't loft nearly enough. Should be 30 degree's plus in most scenario's. It still just keeps itself level most of the time unless you're throwing it super long distance

[@ВячеславФролов-д7я]

This hard loft happens only at high altitudes, (around 10km and definitely not lower than 7km) and long distances (70km or more), while aiming at a target with high altitude. In wt we never get these altitudes, and for 30-40 km shots, when missile hits while still burning or shortly after, straight trajectory is just kinematically better

Its a advertisement video, from a paid "content creator". Dont belive anything he has to say, its pure, evil lies. Like all gayjin employee, he has one goal in mind, to rip you off.

[@Lizardmium]

I wonder who "pays" us 🤔

[@nagykiss6020]

Gayjin. Very intresting how any "independent content creator" never adresses any issue or contraversy with this game...just praises to hell....like he never played it at once....

[@Lizardmium]

@Nagy Kiss lee doesnt praise it, me neither. There are content creators that constantly bitch on the game and get huge views from it, but im not into that. If you like pessimistic content more, go watch that, but i believe nobody is here to hear someone crying how bad gaijins decisions are for 5 minutes straight.

[@GeneralLee2000]

With all due respect, I've literally posted 3 rant videos already and I'm still a new CC. Refer to my "F-14 Problem" vid (which BTW is my most viewed video) "War Thunders Attacker Problem", and one of my VERY RECENT ones about Russian top tier...
