Update (Jan 19th): Ayy, F-14A & EJ Kai BR changes.
I've always held the stance, ever since the release of the F-14A, that its missile suite itself is not overpowered and avoiding the AIM-54 Phoenix is not difficult once its mechanics are understood (AIM-54 Guide: [ Ссылка ]). However, there are 10.3 jets without RWR and players new to 10.3 BR should not have to be burdened by learning how to face Pulse-Doppler guided SARH missiles and Phoenix ARH missiles simultaneously.
It is not their fault that they are ignorant of the counter-play because War Thunder itself does nothing to teach it to them.

I've also had the take that it is undertiered at 11.3 BR due to the combination of its missiles and flight performance. Prior to the F-14A, at 11.3 BR there were jets with strong BVR capabilities and jets with strong flight performance but none with both. Then the F-14A Early was released at 11.3 BR and it was slightly better than the best 11.3 BVR and best +11.0 flight performance AT THE SAME TIME. The maximum aircraft BR should have been increased to 11.7 in the Danger Zone update.
The Mirage 2000 should've been released at 11.7 too.
With the missile upgrades received in the Apex Predator update, the MiG-23MLD/ML/MLA and F-4EJ Kai should also now be at 11.7 BR.
