Served with the F-14D while aboard the USS John C Stennis (CVN 74) in Afghanistan as well as Iraq, and I can tell you from first hand knowledge that they were using the AIM-9X before retirement. Just as the F/A-18 E “Rhino” were using them. So, why aren’t they being added to ANY top tier US aircraft?
Hello,
We have made a report regarding the Sepv3:
Please look into the PDF and Bug Report
So this new crash / J-out mechanism was introduced.
I believe it’s malfunction/not functional in SIM games. This must be a mistake/bug. Nobody can be so **** to leave this mechanism out of the game-mode that needs it the most.
Also we’ve had not had any new map for many years, not even the Falklands map that was promised. This must be a mistake as well, somebody must have forgot to click the enable button for all the new great maps for SIM?
I’m sure these are just small oversights and these issues will be addressed promptly before the release of the new patch. Thank you for your attention.
@Smin1080p_WT i have noticed that the SPICE 2000/1000 dont have the man in the loop mechanic im just wondering if this is intentional or just a bug
CAS is op wdym
i think he is talking about nuclear thunder while AAs do struggle a bit in ground (except russian AAs those things need to be nerfed hard) in nuclear thunder they will evicerate you from across the map after getting 2 ft off the airfield (except on russia because for some reason NATOs radars wont go that far)
Oh that makes sense
Aaaand the most detailed report ever submitted denied for not enough information
Makes sense, its not Russian.
Nuclear Thunder SPAA making CAS seem like its not OP at all LOL
TLDR (because I tend to yap), it’s too soon for IIR missiles and Gaijin likes to add things across the board and not leave it to one nation only (F-14A being the exception for obvious reasons). Give it ~3 more updates (end of year at the latest, if not early '27) and they should be here, likely limited to current and/or future ~14.7+ aircraft.
(We like to incrementally increase the suffering by limiting which BR range has what technology/capability)
“Gaijin likes to add things across the board and not leave it to one nation only”
How are you coming to this conclusion?
Anyways, it’d be logical to leave out Eurofighters and Rafales until 5th gens arrive, that would 100% be heavily in their favor until 5th Gens arrive
When is the update dropping
I assume that’s intended:
If you think they should have it then you can make a historical report for it. You can report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)
A guide on how to report can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)
for historical issues they have some requirements for sources:

Appreciate the feedback. Also, PLEASE don’t go through with that “man in the loop” nonsense for it will, without certainty, destroy top tier ground RB. It’s toxic enough without that mechanic.
Nah, they’re still enjoying the money from D’assault currently
Pattern recognition
Why?
Golden eagles farm form bad players :=
By the way, I’m curious to know if they’re actually going to include IIR or if it’ll just stay as it is in the game at the moment
Wdym why?
The EFT and RFL are obviously better at dictating the terms of an engagement than things like the F-16CM/V, Superhornet, J10, Gripen. Missiles like the AIM-9X, PL-10, R-74M, are better used in WVR engagements. Thats still likely in the Eurocanards favor, and giving them things like the MICA IR and IRIS-T nullifies even that
