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.

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.
It is not related to damage from UV rays or ageing.
F-14A/Bs from the late 80s and early 90s are seen without yellow colored blisters.
Afaik, wingtip one is position light, not ECM stuffs.
As for the ECMs on the glove vane section, there was confusion within the same squadrons between those that have been changed since the late 1990s and those that have not.
I seem to have had a stroke and confused formation lights with positioning lights.
Looking at mats yeah they are Position lights.
That’s should be formation lights not position lights.
I guess mats also confused that.
