Is that possible to be bug reported or do you need the -1A document?
Need -1A manual but, problem is early manuals are quite hard to find and later ones are literally impossible to get because they are still classified.

I swear I posted this before, but if someone knows how to download youtube videos, save this: https://youtu.be/G-mrFcsw-Ew?si=3YBFtRzhilDa7kaA&t=699
The F-14 was NOT a 7.5G airplane. Even Grumman themselves state 8.9G is within the structural limits of the F-14.

There’s a Scene near the end of “Speed & Angels” where 9.3G is mentioned.

Not like modern ones, instead of going ins + dl before going active th4y use SARH tracking and then go active, and if fired in stt mode(ACM) they never go active(irl that is in game I don’t think it’s modelled).

I would say aim 54

how do iranians still have any aim54s lying around lol
They learned how preserve them very late in their lives, so they probably only have around 40-50 of them left if even that.
Assuming that any actually remain flight worthy, they have figured out how to remanufacture / recondition the propulsion section by this point. Since that was why they were withdrawn from service around mid ~2004 or so. as the Motors were aging out.
And I can guarantee that they won’t have lasted another decade especially considering that the S/Ns of transferred AIM-54’s were not new builds at the time but came from existing inventory.
From various photos and some information I’ve gathered, I’m starting to believe that the Fakour-90 isn’t an upgraded AIM-54A, but rather just a MIM-23’s guidance and rocket motor stuffed into an AIM-54 body and control surfaces, making it a SARH missile…
Makes no sense, they’ve already got the Sedjil for that. Plus, the Fakour 90 is a little smaller in diameter than AIM-54 so the internals would need to be modified to fit in the reduced cross section.

The problem is that if it was developed based on the AIM-54, coolant for cooling the missile would definitely be required and there is switch for cooling missiles in cockpit.
However, judging from photos of the F-14A equipped with the Fakour-90/AD-40A, We don’t see the coolant at station 3/6.
It’s a modern missile (2010s). It’s not crazy to say it can have it’s own coolant.
It’s an ARH Missile. It’s be advertised as an ARH missile to buyers. Otherwise there’s no difference between it and the failed HAWK program.

Some infos about AN/ALR-50 but, maybe nothing new except current AN/ALR-50 in the game detect SA-2 as SAM LO even they are identifiable in real life.

That’s from Heatblur’s early F-14A manual but, this image is clearly -1A.

Only 5kW? The Raptor can do 20
The raptor isn’t using a mechanical radar with a single transmitter
If you would look at the output of a single transmitter of the raptor it would be way less than even a single kw
On top of that is the AWG-9 from the 70s
Also the 5kw isnt peak output but average
Peak output for the AWG-9 is 10kw
