What does this do?
I believe that is one of the changes associated with this comment “oscillation when using mouse aim has been reduced”
Moment arm is basically the distance from the axis of rotation to where you apply force. That’s how you get torque. It’s easier to rotate/twist something when you apply force farther from the center of rotation/twist.
“moved vertical stabilizer moment arm vertical position from 1.0 to 0.5”
Not a programmer but I assume this means the moment arm is moved in toward the aircraft center, meaning the vert. stab. has less influence on the aircraft roll axis.
This will reduce oscillations and improve stability

Apologies for the misleading info, I used outdated data myself ))

why are the Tech Mods engaging in Fisticuffs…
More relevantly, who’s gonna win??
No Fakours on wing pylons despite images of Aim54 on Iranian F-14 wing pylons :(

you are like a year late to that party
same with the missing drop tanks
also there is a video of a test launch of the fakour of the wing pylon

Nice. I wonder why it’s not yet applied on the F-14B…
Also for the Aim-54:
Looks like the Fakour acceleration is underperforming… That was very fast.
How do you tell if a missile is a phoenix or a fakour?
to me just looks yellow and everything else looks the same
even then some arent yellow so they look identical
I wrote an entire thing about how to tell in WT gameplay lmao.
The Phoenix won’t have those side rails on it nor will it have the bland, one/2 color scheme of the Fakour.
ex:
The Phoenix will have large, bold lettering and stripes on it to signal each part of the missile (nose cone, body, booster, etc…)
ex:
it’s also slightly more sleek and pointy

lmao phoenix/fakour 90s are just… pretty terrible in wt considering how garbage their seekers and kinematic performance is. aim-54c+ or the aim54c eccm/whatever it’s called is looking like the only good phoenix that exists and will hopefully be implemented on the d when it comes to the game

The only problem is, while the AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed is equipped, you wouldn’t be able to exceed Mach. While it would provide better countermeasure and ground clutter resistance (especially paired with the APG-71), it doesn’t have coolant so if I recall correctly, that limits how fast you could fly with it.
i heard it doesnt require coolant ? coolant was required for previous models
Yeah, it didn’t require coolant during flight
DOES IT GET DUMP AND BURN TELLL ME WISE GSZABI!!

Good old “balancing factor” or whatever gaijin is using for such shenanigans.
N001 has hmd and irst is more modern than awg9 has the same missile load out(except it can’t carry 12 missiles ) as the su33, su27 can fly faster and supposedly turns faster then su33 because the su33 is heavier and slightly slower, but it has Canards, so it turns about the same. yes it dosent have the same range as the awg 9 but in war thunder you don’t really need 100+ miles of range even awg9 default settings is mainly set 50-20 miles for most players honestly. su27 with r27r vs a f14A iraf with r27r i bet the su27 does better than the f14A or even if both are slightly on par with each other. Honestly I don’t have the su27 just yet but someone should do the test f14A iraf and a su27 with only 2 r27r and see what radar comes out on top with both shooting the same range/angles but I still think the su27 would do better

Which assume you
- know where the enemy is
- are within 20km to lock people.
N001 also can’t change the scan radius, unlike the AWG-9. Meaning it’s slower to scan with it’s already abysmal scan speed.
But yes, the Su-27 is better within WVR. But at that point, most people just use ACM (or, for the Tomcat, SRC PD HDN with 19km range.)
The AWG-9 is definitely better at longer ranges though, in my experience.
