What really gets me is that they added such detailed simulations for the temperature, pressure, and altitude. And then they just gave us 1 color of afterburner through all regimes of flight.

They have the means to simulate the colors changing as you go faster/higher/hotter

(1. I am not a Tech Mod, I am a Suggestion Moderator.
2. The Report was previously accepted by Tech Mods ( → its valid), the answer given like this and many other are coming from the Devs and have nothing to do with rudeness, bias or incompetence by Mods.
We won’t accept Suggestions for smth thats already implemented.

Since the Devs are aware that other Aircraft (incl. the F-14) are lacking this feature as per comment in the report, either (Suggestion/Bug Report) are unnecessary at this point - any Aircraft lacking the feature shall be reported if at all) “unnamed suggestion mod”

asking a tech mod now but this is what he said

It just doesn’t make any sense, they also never said unnecessary, they said “will not be accepted”

If it’s in testing keep it in testing, adding it to a few planes specifically is nonsense.

AOA limiter removal that is present on aircraft in game was the result of it being a planned feature for those aircraft by the developers.

No aircraft got the option to disable the AOA limiter via a report, the Gripen was always planned to have it, so when a report was submitted it was marked as fixed but the fix was not a result of the report.

Tornado was also denied the AOA limiter disable capability despite evidence it has the capability. It was simply not planned to add it to it. The same applies to F-14.

That just means the Tornado should get it too, what causes this arbitrary imbalance in what gets the features it should, and what doesn’t? I know you’re only relaying what the developers have said but I am very upset with those developers. What are they thinking?

New report is live.

Implementing “Sidewinder Expanded Acquisition Mode” (SEAM)

It impacts the F-14, which should improve SRM Acquisition speeds, I’ll follow it with it’s counterpart for the increased Field of Regard while Slaved shortly.

I understand. However, that was not anywhere in the bug report response. Why do I have to go through hoops to get a valid reason why my report was denied? And also, this game is set in realism. Giving only “planned” planes the capability instead of all capable planes isn’t ok.

I think we all know what they think of the F-14. They haven’t treated the tornado good either.

F-14B Tomcat - Missing ECM blisters on fwd portion of the glove

I don’t know if the colors on that is correct. That is very clearly a mock up of the aircraft and the ECM blister doesn’t appear to always be that color.


In this photo you can see it is grey.

The cover has probably been bleached by UV rays and shifted over time to a more yellow tone.

As with the Panzergrau and the F-11F & F-4J’s Blue Angel Cameos’ specific shade of blue, there is no consistency in the position that Gaijin will take.

That photo was probably taken in the early 90s, before upgrades.

An updated ECM blister on the forward part of the glove vanes has been in place for the F-14A and F-14B since about 1995.

There are cases where you can see the more beigeish tone.


So I don’t know where the differences come seems down to unit paints.

My photo was from 93.
