This is interesting.

Sapphire 25 gonna be even better now? But good thing on AWG-9, i use regular SRC or ACM pretty regularly, making it more reliable would be nice. But i hope that it will get 19km ACM at some point, would help a lot for my playstyle

nope
that was reverted
Source?

By itself sure, but we could definitely still use the IRST & TCS getting fully implemented for passive tracking.

Pulse on the Fox Hunter Stage-2G (this also might be the W/Z list version pre Stage-2G) was pretty strong. Admittedly haven’t tried much since this video;

i tied it on the dev server with the Mig-25
you were able to go into a 90° dive and there pretty much wasnt any ground clutter
now its the same as on the live server

Yeah I saw that, it was pretty insane haha.
Also, recently I’ve gotten my hands on an updated version of the F110 Tomcat performance charts from 1997. Now obviously I can’t show it here, but from what I’ve seen, there’s some more basis for what I said earlier:
Along with the increase in weight matching the addition of the GE F110 engine over the PW F401, where there are actually new graphs (because they do share some graphs and differ in others). For the GE engine, like GE says, they’re much more efficient in all regimes of flight. In places where the (assumed) F401 would take closer to 7 minutes to get to maximum endurance speed, the GE engines do it in 3. The GE engines also have a better top speed with all store loadings. The only time the PW engine gets barely ahead is 5000 feet with a full combat load and tanks, but quickly falls off the higher you go. Also, the current F-14B overperforms some of these charts, most likely due to drag not being actually modeled.
When and If we can ever use these sources, the solution here is decrease the drag on the clean F-14 and slightly bump up the drag as weight is added onto the aircraft (I’m pretty sure weight = drag for WT flight models but someone correct me if I’m wrong). Currently with 4 Aim-7 and 4 Aim-7 loadout mostly the Aim-9 drag should bring down a 50% fueled F-14B from Mach 1.2 on the deck to around Mach 1.05, instead it gets to 1.1.
TLDR: F401 and F110 might show more differences than we thought.
Will share more soon
Just some miscellaneous stuff I’ve collected as of late:

JSOW appeared on the F-16C. I’ll at least make a heavily prospective report for it when the F-14D turns up.
Real time targeting for GPS guided weapons using the on-board systems of the F-14D Super Tomcat
“In support of air-to-ground attack missions, the F-14D can employ unguided and guided munitions Unguided weapons include Mk-80 series general-purpose bombs, cluster munitions, mines, and airbome and marine flares. Guided weapons include laser-guided bombs (LGB), and recently cleared MIL-STD-I760 interface class weapons, including GBU-24E/B, JDAM and JSOW.”
There is also Table-1 as well, too.

My radar go to the left and stops working its great, and then i cant lock anything
After this event the IRIAF is 100% going to 13.3. Anytime the F-14s do good and get community attention it comes with a BR nerf.

I don’t think the event will be taken into account for the statistics
I agree with you. But even when the F-14s were statistically balanced they were still nerfed in BR so really anything can happen if the community complains enough.
