The F-14B already has DL ingame
I looked into it and the F-14B only has personal DL, not Link 16 DL. Unfortunately, they’re right. The only functionality it would get from the Aim-7P would be IOG. That’s why the F-14D will be such a great upgrade.

shouldnt TSO do the same?
These recent TCS reports gave me the motivation to post bug reports that I had neglected for a while because I just couldn’t be bothered.

Another TCS bug report.
Hope I didn’t have a stroke while writing this wall text and didn’t write something wrong.

Does anyone know what the TCS was fully capable of? Of all the Tomcat’s systems, it’s the one I know the least about. Was it able to provide track/help the AWG-9/APG-71 track targets? Could it give threat identification on the radar/RWR?
Err, did they just miss this?
And it’s actually the original table that it is a better scan of.

I have (via PM), it’s just that whomever actioned the report also closed it to comment so, it’s going to take longer to be rectified.
I’ve also put in responses to the other three (#1, #2, #3) that are related and were erroneously (in my opinion) closed / rejected.
They already have air-to-air search/tracking capabilities, you can switch to targeting pod view, search the air, and can lock-on to air-to-air targets.
As it seems that they have misunderstood the scope of the requested changes, which was to have them included in the specified change made to the Dev server.
Not to add A2A search and track modes to the relevant pod & airframe combos (yet).
Further
There is no evidence in this report that they support SARH/ARH mode. The F-4 and F-14 are not the same as the F/A-18, that’s a huge logical leap.
Seems to have forgotten or not know that Memory tracking and “track-files” have been implemented for many radars (including the APG-65, which is directly relevant to the Hornet & AV-8B+).
Is it somehow not assumed that I don’t need to prove basic functionality that already exists in game does similar things?

Might have just found a bunch more flight data for the AIM-54
The data is in Appendix E ( begins PDF pg# 59)

Just to let everyone know: The F-14B is still underperforming in thrust and overperforming in weight. This leaves the F-14B at a TWR of 1.25, which is ~0.15 less than it should be (~1.4 TWR)
Compared to the 30,200lb 2x figure in real life it’s missing 400lbs of thrust
It’s unreportable because Gaijin doesn’t actually show us the weight of aircraft in-game, which means we have to look in the files for it. Bug Reports based on information from the files are prohibited… Nice Gaijin.
Cant you set mass by debug tool?
You can try to make aircraft “empty” with it and after that report
Idk. I’m nowhere near my PC to try it out and I’ve never used the debug tool before.

the type of bugs devs fix instead of giving f14b 9m:

How would they even notice that? I guess they are just that detail oriented.
Ok, this time for real, I really hope I fixed whatever the issue was with the previous report
[DEV]The F-14B should be impacted by this change to IRST/EOTS
[DEV]The F-14B was missed when adding IRST/EOTS - SARH guidance
There is no source for TCS in An Outsider’s view of the AIM-54 Phoenix/AWG-9 Weapons System; the page is excerpted from another book.

Thanks for what you do. I don’t know if you hear that enough.
