F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

it is and someone on tiktok gave it to me

You need to make sure things are not classified and therefore the burden of proof is on you. It doesn’t work like that. “But it’s online/But someone gave it to me” no.

Edit since you keep on spamming messages: You broke the rules by posting:

  • Something that is off-topic;
  • Something that is not guaranteed to be unclassified;
  • Read above and connect it with the fact YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PROVE SOMETHING IS UNCLASSIFIED.

Hopefully this is clear enough.

Ehhh you find a classified document online that’s not on you that’s who ever responsible to keep classified not the person reading on a public platform especially something on internet hell I didn’t know about the “Distribution Statements and Their Corresponding Reasons for Use” existed
Gajin and yall should make a post on how to tell a document is classified and what to look out for and leave it pin at the top in yellow or red so people read it and you don’t have these issues

Absolutely not. If a document is posted by any user in here it’s the user’s responsibility to make sure that the document is not classified by posting the status. Anything can be online and the only guarantee that we have is that our users here think thrice before posting anything.

But what im saying is most people don’t know something classified could be found in a public domain such as google or tik tok because stuff like dark web so you think it would be regulated

Would have more but these issues have been the bane of my existence, I know it’s not the place but any support for these issues would be greatly appreciated - User skins not working in URL custom battles - Game freezing and completely unresponsive when alt-tabbing.

Too bad We still don’t have post 1980s A model, which has TCS.

Also, It was one of reasons why I made F-14A late suggestion.

Isn’t the TCS completely useless in WT? I heard they’ve now disabled the ability for the TCS to lock targets since the Leviathans update. It was the last gimmick it had - it was sometimes useful to track someone flying away from you since the HDN radar is quite bad at that. Was also stealthy.

Now it serves no purpose. Just a glorified zoom button I guess.

At some point on dev it was removed, but idk about live

It should be like IRST, but not IR.(it should be able to find targets).

No it still works, it’s just useless. The camera view has barely any zoom and the MFD screen is unusable until you get within 2km because of the TV seeker sight they gave it blocking the view.

Wish they would model it correctly. It should be far more useful especially for Sim but they won’t correct it.

What works? The TCS lock? I just tested it, it doesn’t. Just to be sure I tried the same thing with the AV-8B+ targeting pod and it works fine.

Another nice gimmick it had that I forgot to mention is that locking a target with the TCS would give you a gun lead indicator. Because the F-14 radar is so bad (hdn only) this was sometimes the only way to get a lead indicator when in a dogfight or chasing someone. Other jets with a targeting pod like the AV8B+ still have that feature btw.
