    If you're actually trying to escort a bomber effectively (as much as that can be done), the proper way to fly isn't side-by-side but above and in front. You want to counter-initiate someone going for an easy kill, not make yourself one of the targets.

    I actually enjoy escorting my mate in a bomber or vice versa. We both understand it wont help either of us in any way but its nice to have a good time with a friend trying to stop them from dying whilst they gunship. Gives a bit of a break from the grind or basic prop gameplay of climb, dive, climb, etc.

    the thing about escorting is a lot of people just do it wrong, you want to sit about 3k away so that you have enough room to pounce on anything climbing up to take a shot at it, because it will usually be getting slow to take the shot.

    While people bring props into high tier deliberately is a problem, there is a ‘glitch’ where in a squad it can change your nation when you get put in a game.

    Bomber escort can be a legit way to get some frags, but NEVER fly next to the bomber. Set up at least 2km higher and 1km in front, so you can dive on intercepting opponents. There's a reason fighter escorts didn't fly wing by wing with their bombers in real life either. So indeed, as you said "get some speed, get some altitude" :D

    Regarding multi-role fighters: I love the Kfir Canard. Six 1000lb bombs and two AIM-9Gs, and sometimes I add five 500lb bombs. Go for bases first (The 1000s do one base and the 500s can do half of another). Reaching bases by going wide and low works bc the Canard is super fast, and once you drop you can climb quickly above everyone else and pick off enemies occupied with your teammates. I easily do 1-4 bases and 1-4 enemies a match (depending on how often i can resupply, usually 1 base and 1-2 enemies per run). With premium bonus included, I can quietly do 30k-50k SL and 5k-10k RP a match. Really fast and efficient grinder plane.

    Very valid and true talking points for playing the game competitively... However, after 3000+ hours I have spent in this game; playing with friends and taking props into top tier, multi-rolling, bomber escorting, and going phoenix mode are all some great ways to change up the repetitive nature of WarThunder to just have fun. Being in a discord call with a 3 ship of BV238s in formation over F-16s and Mig-29s is not competitive but rather a good time (in fact you can argue this is encouraged by Gaijin with Thunder Show and the "God Mode" achievement").

    TBF everything he said is right, you probably shouldnt be able to do it and i agree on that; but at the same time also agree that if your enjoyment in the game so heavily depends on winning and what OTHER people are doing, you need help. Play the game for fun, if thats bringing a P-51 up to 11.3 every once in a while to fuck about, go for it as long as you arent affecting anyone else which the only way to actually do so would be teamkilling using the P-51. Maybe i just dont take the game seriously enough or something but when i see a prop at top tier i just chuckle and move on with my day and couldnt give less of a shit. I personally dont do that, i dont see the fun in it; but if thats fun to someone else more power to them. What someone else is doing in a game that really only rewards selfish gameplay (plus people end up bitching about teamwork anyhow) does NOT affect you, grow up and just shoot shit and do good on YOUR part. Winning is nice and it gives a little bonus and im happy to win, but dont sit and make your enjoyment rely 100% on winning.

    For the F14, its actually not a bad idea to have the 2 Aim54s on the rear most mounts, since all you can do is either strap bombs onto it, or a single Aim 7. However you can also have 2 Aim 54s on the mount. IMO the 2 Aim 54s are a better choice then the single Aim 7, the 2 Aim 54s usually get me 1 kill every other match and the aim 7s clean up the rest.

    Escorting bombers can actiually work fine from my experience, just instead of slowing down by lowering throttle you slow down by climbing above the bomber so you can B&Z anyone who approaches. It does increase the bomber player's survivability and makes for a lot of kill oppertunities for the fighter. It still may not be the absolute most optimal way of playing the game, but it makes for satisfying teamwork.

    Just recently got the f-14, best load out imo is 2 aim9h, 2 Phoenix, and rest sparrow. Fly high at start and use your radar to catch people trying to fly high, send two phoenixs out on different targets and then then and go cold to avoid the 50 missiles that were launched at you lmao. Is always satisfying to get a fox 3 kill. I like to call it the fox 3 lottery. Another piece of advice for bvr is let the missile cook, I've gotten some crazy nutty 35-40km sparrow kills, the missiles travels for a long time but many people decide to break lock and go oh well guess it didn't hit, but give the missile a chance more often than not it's doing its job. Countless times I've launched a missile and it feels like it's been traveling for minutes and just as I'm about to give up on it I'll get aircraft destroyed.

    #1 best bomber escort is a person who kills the fighters before they reach the bomber in the first place #2 props are decent in jet matches but to an extent I’d say maximum extreme maximum is 9.3 and even then you are limited on prop choice you need something that handles high speed and has enough fire power to kill on a small window. Usually things like Fw-190s or Tempest.. then you pick on the jets that are locked in a dogfight.. after that props are useless due to missiles and just they get too fast as a jet and the window of fire is too small to do any meaningful damage or even get some shots off as for tanks taking a low tier into a high tier is completely different than planes considering generally how tanks are made they have more restrictions than an aircraft usually there is a spot on every MBT that a reserve can punch through.

    4:45 usually I get 6 phoenixes 20-30 mins of fuel, go up a bit and speed up, always send 2 missles per person, to dodge one is easy, but to can be tricky to notch or avoid in quite some situations, usually i get 2 or so kills with that, and then RTB, usually the match is almost done when I land or i take 4 aim-7's and aim-9's and 2 phoenixes to clean up the last few players. really effective strat in my experience, but if you only send 1 phoenix per person, the strat is quite dogwater in my experience

    Bombing bases and then going fighter mode is the only thing that's viable for grinding modules for certain planes. Im always flying the Su-17M4 and used to do that but now that I have it spaded i still carry two tv guided missiles, they can be launched far away and gives me time to focus on the enemy instead. At the very least i get two ground units and some RP.

    The only reason I managed to grind the upgrade missiles for my Phantom was because I was bombing bases. It at least gives you a baseline RP per match considering stock loadouts suck.

    The pheonix missile doesn't pull very much G, but typically what I like to do is get ultra high and fast, like Mach 1.3 and 15kft+, then around 40 miles I'll launch a couple of the 54's, first one TWS, second one STT but a little later, and from a different aspect as the first one. So 40mi and 35-28mi are both pheonix shots, then I'll crank holding the lock until slowly they both break (wasting time for the missiles to close, and to scrap theirs) THEN, believe it or not, I run two dogfight sparrows, and launch that around 10-13 miles, and of course the 9G or 9H. It's basically the 2x2x2 but with two more 54s. Only really usable in Simulator, but if you have cloud coverage hiding your cons and the missiles, and use the radar tilt to look down effectively without losing altitude. Not to mention you can at times murder bomber formations from 50 miles away. The F14 is a big brain plane and it has a lot of potential outside of the "meta"

    You can't go fighter mode with bombs attached. Multirole fighters armed for A2G work do carry A2A weapons, but only for defense, but they also usually have an escorting flight and are prepared to jettison those bombs if they get jumped. The Phoenix missile was designed for shooting down Soviet bombers or the anti-ship missiles they could launch.

    I always carry a mix of missiles on my F14. I stage them for ranges like a layered offense/defense. Phoenix first, Sparrow, then sidewinder. Sometimes I completely leave out the sparrow, but I always keep the sidewinder. It's reliable. The range on the sidewinders helps deal with their poor flight characteristics. You can fire them from far enough away that the enemy usually isn't expecting them. As for escorting bombers, I tend to climb to at most 1km above them and fly in a large S flight path to keep my speed up while staying close to them and technically not outpacing them. I only do this for friends, and even then it's not common.

    One small addition: people need to avoid full-commit headon trades with the first enemy they see. The thing with escorting bombers, nobody does it right and everyone gets mad when you tell them not to _form up._ Always see people flying wing-to-wing with the bomber, trying to get as close as possible, often popping smoke, never in an advantageous position above and off to the side of the bomber, at altitude. Prop matches where a bomber asks for escort often devolve into air shows where 3 fighters dive to the deck with a bomber, presenting the enemy with a feeding frenzy and leaving the team at a multi-aircraft disadvantage, moreso than if there was just a couple bombers unescorted. Basically the same thing eventually happens with prop failsquads in jets.

    When you learn how to use the AIM-7F it is a far superior weapon to the Phoenix for everything except extreme long range. You can use it in dogfights, it has good min range, and it's still decent at BVR. My load out for most games on the maps that are far too small for the Tomcat is 6 AIM-7Fs and 2 AIM-9Hs. When it's an EC map I usually bring 4 Phoenixes, 2 Sparrows and 2 Sidewinders, so I can lob 4 Phoenixes at the high alt enemies at 30 miles and scare the crap out of them when it goes pitbull and I'm still good for actually fighting enemies. Escorting bombers, ah, what lost the Germans the Battle of Britain. If you're slow in a fighter, you're dead. If you want to escort, keep climbing above your bomber pal and gain more energy so you can dive on any enemy interceptors.
