I find the things that make the F4J so good beyond the Aim7F is the custom loadouts allowing you to carry up to 6, (sacrificing 2 9Gs for each, I run 5 7Fs) combined with the pulse doppler radar measuring range in velocity. This early PD radar would normally be a disadvantage, and indeed the radar is a bit less reliable and easier to notch against, how ever its ACM mode has infinite range. This greatly improves your ability to react to evolving situations without having to fiddle with 8 different buttons, and you can often get the first missile off in situations you have no business winning.
Try going lower, your radar works better locking people upwards Cuz your radar has more cleared view of the enemy, so it's easier to lock, after that just throw the sparrow in 4-3km and enjoy the mess that you've caused ;3
The MLD is the best, the radar locks so much faster, than any other. The Radar and IR missiles are the best in game as well. We know in the Gaijin world RU tech beats NATO tech any day.
@@buffalosabres91 facts. And because it’s an early PD radar it gets notched VERY easily. Not as bad as the F-4J Pulse Doppler, but other jets in the game most certainly have more reliable radar.
@MatAWG Its not an Bug! The MK is the export version of the M and the Su22UM-3K is the export version for Germany. Edit: Also the Russian one is called Su 17M3. The Squadron one is an Hungarian Su-22. So its also export which would explain the "worse loadout".
Your tier list quite well explained, but it lack a bit of clarity, difficult to differentiate a plane with another. It might be useful to put the name and the flag of the nation who used it.
hey mat, i havent seen any mirage f1 videos in a while from ANYONE, if possible could you give it a revisit? im currently grinding for it myself, specifically the f1ct, thanks :)
The YF-14A isn't a 4th gen aircraft, it's 3.5+, so please do not call it a "First true 4th gen aircraft", it just doesn't meet the criteria needed for 4th generation.
but there is no official criteria to be an 4th gen aircraft, or 3rd or anything, these arbitrary nominations made by the media so there is no reason to argue with that haha
@@matawg Sure, but if you bring up "True 4th gen" you have to make sure it actually fits into that generation in the guide most accepted - Supercruising, high mobility, a pulse-doppler radar with TWS settings, a near 1:1 T:W ratio, a trending focus on multi-role capabilities, BVR capabilities, advanced avionics which lessen the time-to-interact between the pilot and plane, and at-least basic IRST systems. The YF-14A can only go transonic without burners and has laughable low-speed engine performance due to the hybrid intakes and lack of low-speed compressors. In-game, it also cannot seem to TWS correctly, only being able to track 1 additional plane in the absolute best scenario, but really only reliably scanning 1 enemy and being unable to track anyone in that mode. It also doesn't have an IRST mode, and its radar can't seem to even pick up enemies almost every game. Even in sim, it heavily struggles to pick anyone up. Most of its issues could be due to spaghetti coding, which Gaijin *desparately* needs to spend a few updates on focusing down a fix for, which very well may result in the porting to a new engine, as the Dragor just isn't cutting it anymore and it's breaking down entirely every single update.
Excuse me Su22 m3 limited flares ? I agre its not the best but it has 128 (maybe even 200+ can't recall of the top of my head) flares and R60Ms just 4 but still
i never said it was worthless, just that there are many planes in the game that are better than it in almost every way yet people seem to just forget and still call it op
@@MD-wn4ui nah, i Always Hunt for them, they are nothing special, wt meta Is dogfight and IR missiles, both of which the F-14 lacks of and have worse than F-5E

Yeah its a Very good aircraft but I'd still take the Kai hahaha
I find using the F4E that I can never lock onto anything in front of me heading towards me to lock on with my radar to use my sparrows

It annoys me to no end that F-14 radar has a clear radar signature on its scanner but then fails to lock multiple times in a row

You are on a content roll at the moment, good job mat.
thanks man :)
Hey Mat u made a little mistake, SU22UM3K can use r60mks, it has four of them
Can it?! Then why can’t the normal su22m3 not get them and it’s proper countermeasures 😩
yeah but its more of an bug than anything else, once gaijin sees it, it will change it probably
@@matawg So it couldn't use the 60MK version?
@MatAWG Its not an Bug! The MK is the export version of the M and the Su22UM-3K is the export version for Germany.
Edit: Also the Russian one is called Su 17M3. The Squadron one is an Hungarian Su-22. So its also export which would explain the "worse loadout".
The moment Germany and Russia get their Mig 29...
I was gonna do a similar tier list lol, nice format and video.
haha thanks, yeah its a very good idea, made by one of the members of the channel :)
Your tier list quite well explained, but it lack a bit of clarity, difficult to differentiate a plane with another. It might be useful to put the name and the flag of the nation who used it.
Yeah this was the first one that I did the missiles ones its already better
Where's Lightning f6 tho?
Also su22m3 can turn with phantoms and even f5c/f5e. Good video
Part 2 is coming today with the brits, but no EEL since its not top tier haha
Great video, do more of these with ground too 😀
thanks man! :)
Eaeeee Matt, joguei com voce hoje kkk eu era oMaverick
Massa demais mano :)
Nice video :-)
thanks man! :)
Just hope 🇩🇪F-4F could get AIM-9L ASAP.
I’d rather they give Russia a Su-57
Me too Man
Part 2 Please! ❤
Today :)

The um3K yes but the m3 doesnt , and the r60m's is a bug
@@matawg the german one is the um3k isn't it ?
It has 24 flare slots so you have 6-12 several taps of flares (12 if you pick renforced flares or flares with chaff)
@@matawg What makes you think the R-60Ms are a bug on the UM4K?
is it just me or is the f5e the most overrated plane in the game
It Is Just you, Is literally the best Plane in the game
@@alessandromazzini7026 it still struggles with flares top speed and mediocre missiles for what it faces.
i never said it was worthless, just that there are many planes in the game that are better than it in almost every way yet people seem to just forget and still call it op
vc e br?
Sou sim kkkk
MLD?
this is part 1
How Is the tomcat Op? I actually find It mediocre tbh, the F-5E Is far superior
The only bad part of the F-14 is that it faces nothing but other F-14’s.
@@MD-wn4ui nah, i Always Hunt for them, they are nothing special, wt meta Is dogfight and IR missiles, both of which the F-14 lacks of and have worse than F-5E
@@MD-wn4ui also do not forget the fact that you are a fucking Flying bus with the Need to switch off AB to evade AAM
@@alessandromazzini7026 a decent f14 pilot easily slaps a f5
If the f14 knows what they’re doing it will pretty much always kill you. It’s literally better at everything it does than everything else it faces
