About
The F‑14B Tomcat is a Tier 8 U.S. carrier-capable interceptor with twin engines, variable-sweep wings, and two crew members. Armed with the AN/AWG‑9 radar and AIM‑54 Phoenix missiles, it’s built for long-range engagement and fleet defense
Playstyle
Interceptor spawn: spawn at 7k meters ( only available for Mig31BM and F14B)
Climb high, lock up with AWG‑9, then launch AIM‑54s to defeat targets from afar. Maintain ~80 km standoff, use speed and climb to evade. Close range is not recommended as its SARH/IR are not the good ones for top tier.
