There is…
AIM-54C was faster than the A, because of the sustainer it didn’t lose as much speed when lofting and it had very different flight profile. Literally topping down with 4,5-5 mach. 54C is rated at 5 mach and A at 4,3 because of that difference , while A could be faster in straight line .
It is known that the flight profile of 54s in general is bad and not realistic in the game.
isn’t the 25g value for dual plane?

Yes. The problem is when you make a missile you can’t cherry pick. It uses that method to turn. The 17G limit is for single plane… but that is used when the missile only needs to use that mode. If for any reason needs to pull more, or its pathing to the target needs to pull more it will pull more because it can do in dual plane.
It’s a way of how missiles turn.
An example… you have electric power steering in your car. You don’t break it to make it mechanical, just because it can be used as mechanical as a failsafe.
Here we have a dual plane, that uses single plane… If anything, it’s a game …just give it 25 and fix the modeling afterwards. It’s not that it can’t pull them…but with different method.

yeah, sometimes the quote function doesn’t work on ios so I just screenshot… lol.
And light mode is much easier on the eyes as well.
The doc I have for evidence of those capabilities iirc mentions the C and C+ ECCM separately and was made before the ECCM was tested.
F-14 doesn’t have a limiter.
There’s nothing saying the Aim-54C has it exclusive but the only evidence we have that it’s even 25G at all have been from the C model (the BTT video and Grumman Ad). As a balancing measure Gaijin could and probably will take the liberty of making that decision.

Seems even the F-14A was limited to Mach 2.1 without the correct scheduling. So it’s not an engine limit…
It is an engine limit, the airflow must be at a very low speed and compression high to produce the necessary thrust to overcome drag at 2.1 mach. The inlet scheduling is the limiting factor here, not the engine temps or other things such as RPM. The air inlet on a gas engine is still part of the engine, it is just that cars do not use ram intake effects like supersonic fighter jets.
Well yes I agree but clearly with correctly configured engine inlet scheduling the F-14 is physically capable of going faster. I mainly directed the assertion to the Devs that said the F-14B has an engine limit of 2.1M, when clearly with intended inlet scheduling the Tomcat can go faster.
The F-14B uses an entirely different engine, how is that at all comparable? The F-14A docs do not claim it is an engine limitation iirc whereas the F-14B ones do.
