I think it can still get aim120 even at 13.3 theirs a lot of planes with AMRAAMs/r77 (and other fox3 equivalent) at that br

I assume that F-14 is NF-14 from PMTC.
Interesting photo!

So you think it’s as strong as the Taiwanese F-16A MLU, even though it has like 45 CMs and only 6 missiles?
it cant all 13.3s have bad radars it would be 13.7 with F15C it would never be same br as a F16A with 6 ammarams it would be a slightly worse F15C in FM wise at same br facing 14.3s
if it was 13.3 they would artficially nerf the radar for balance reasons then theres no reason to get the D model over the B which is why 120s are a bad idea
It’s a picture from a book I have
Vastly better FM and I’m pretty sure that’s the worst F-16ADF variant.
Can’t the F-14 just out rate it? It’ll last a whole lot longer in a fight or battle, because of the shear CM count, so It’ll just notch all of the missiles without even being to running out, and it isn’t an ADF.
Not all the su30mk2/su30kk,f2a(yes ik it dosent have a fox3 but its a aesa radar) have good radars,jf17, j11 and the f16 have mid to good radar s and some other planes have hms witch is a plus
In a one circle the f14 has a chance but in a 2 circle it dosent and it can really only out rate stuff with it wings out and flaps out and it really only preforms good in low altitude also it’s bol cm are mid at best especially with it after burners being hot as the sun and it rcs being huge and it being a br surrounded by irccm and better fox3 and notch in this aircraft can be a death sentence as it big heavy and has slow acceleration to things like su27(if the su27 dosent do falling leaf type sh** or cash in all their energy),f16,f15,mig29 they would just be behind you reeling you in or get close enough and some other aircraft where no you can’t just speed away unless it’s something like a av8 all aircraft at this br have decent to good acceleration just like the f14B or in some cases better
Missile load out/radar doesn’t always determine br as the su30mk2/su30mkk prove this and the dual aim120 rails for the f14D it just something some of us are coping to get especially since it would just total up to 10 missiles just like the su30mk2/su30mkk but for balancing reasons I wouldn’t be surprised if the f14D doesn’t get dual aim120 racks. You can’t really compare a f15C fm to the F14B let alone a f14D it already know the D variant dosent really improve in FM other then its Digital Flight Control System (DFCS witch isn’t fly by wire for tomcats) The D model introduced a digital flight control system that significantly improved handling especially at high angles of attack or during air combat maneuvering but it still uses the same engines while also weighing a lil more. for you argument it would’ve been better to use the f15A but even then the f15A has better acceleration and better energy retention compared to the f14B
As for the radars artificial nerf it would most likely be just like the awg9 artificial nerf like the acm, and slaving tcs/irst(yes ik all aircraft with this type of function dosent have them) but even then the apg71 probably will still better to use than awg9 since it won’t be limited to head on. Also like the aim54c I think you won’t really reach Mach 5.0 do to of that most bvr engagement happen between 35-50 miles it’s pretty hard to get a full red circle lock farther then 50 miles and people will maneuver witch would just make it harder for the aim54c+ to reach those speeds as the aim54 in game struggles to even reach Mach 4.3 even while going as fast as you can
Most do, the PIRATE IIR sensor on the relevant Typhoons and and OEPS, & OLS systems on Russian fighters can support missiles.
The AXX-1 TCS on the other hand got forgotten, and it’s “not a bug”.
The F-14B should be impacted by this change to IRST/EOTS
"Presently the F-14B doesn’t use its EO tracker as part of its STT automation. As such isn’t subject to the fix requested.
The fix for the aircraft mentioned in this report is only to resolve the automation rapidly changing between radar and IR/EO while in STT. It isn’t to grant full launch capabilities in those modes and doesn’t allow for it when manually switching to IR/EO modes."
I’m not too hopeful that the AAS-42 of the F-14D would be properly implemented, considering that neither the, AAA-4(F-8E / F-106), ASX-1 (F-4E 2000), or AXX-1(F-14B) have been touched since IRSTs were revised. let alone gotten add on systems like the ALR-23 for the F-14A’s in game.
Sheesh I didn’t know irst systems got revised
f14 rates better than the f-16 but the f-16 can just pull in and kill the f-14 early on as its better at retaining speed in one circle/when pulling hard for position

What the hell he is talking about?
I know all RWRs share the same sound, but why do the tracking sounds differ? Either way, they should emit the same sound as the ALR-67 or modern RWRs.

They just choose to be lazy until a bugreport gets sponsored by a youtuber or it’s a vehicle they like. Unfortunate but that’s how it is.
Anyway, I don’t rework this bug report.
It is too lazy for me and if the technical mod doesn’t understand the context, there’s absolutely no reason to post a bug report.

becasue all RWRs have the same sounds ingame
launch warnings have alternating pitch while tracks are a constant tone

Depends of aircrafts.
Most modern aircrafts are not.
You can hear tracking sounds in first sec of this clip, which is NOT constant tone.
yes they are in WT
Explain what is those sound then.
First one is F-14B, second one is F-14A which has ALR-45.
I mean ALR-45s tracking sounds should have same sounds with other RWR ones.
