The F-14’s radar is the only radar where the TWS HDN mode sees chaff. I’m guessing this is another bug alongside the elevation bug?
is there an open bug report with this info?
If the IRIAF actually goes to 13.3 I don’t ever want to see a complaint about F-14s climbing up, shooting their BVR missiles, and going back to base. That’s the way Gaijin is promoting to play with them.
All the extra Fakours do is completely take away the close range capability of the IRIAF. Which already wasn’t good in the first place with the bad rwr, radar, R-27R (~11km of range being generous), Aim-9P, bad engines, etc…
I’m not too bummed because I rarely play the IRIAF anymore since I like the F-14B better, but it’s tragic to see honestly.

11km is being very generous, i rely on them for ~7km engagements

13.0 with the F-14A IR radar is rough, Fakours are the ultimate skill check missile with any of the jets you now face able to defeat them with ease providing the player isn’t alt tabbed jerking it to Nami cosplays.
Gaijin how can it be right for it to face a Su-30, 2 more Fakours and you want to put it to 13.3???

to be fair, fakours are indeed that good. like, they got ridiculous speed and the fact they only start giving warnings from ~12km instead of 16km out makes it very annoying to dodge them early stage bvr if you’re not already someone what going defensive. I’ve died a fair amount of times to fakours early on in a match because they get to you so damn quickly and I wasn’t in a notching position

There’s also this… While they could mean that it is from a book or another paid source, it is unlikely as this was used to reject a NASA source

Either way, more AIM-54 bug reports
Community Bug Reporting System - Incorrect mass
Community Bug Reporting System - Incorrect thrust (~25% too low)
Community Bug Reporting System - Incorrect Diameter
Community Bug Reporting System - Incorrect Guidance

Its honestly crazy how much of a downgrade the new forums and new bug reporting site are compared to the old forums
On the backend they are a big upgrade with many automations

Apart from the incorrect guidance for the AIM-54A, are those bug reports for AIM-54A or AIM-54C?

Iranian F-14 with Fakours at the new BR…Oh dear you could not be more food for the Su-30 premiums.
Yes Fakour is good however your Radar is blind so it sends the missile to the wrong place unless as said before the players are AFK. You cannot shoot them on people below you as again the Radar refuses to lock or see anything.
The F-14A series is facing Gen 4.5 airframes now with 120s and R-77s and all aspect missiles and digital RWRs and better Radars and can and do just notch the Fakour in their sleep. You are like a SAM site as in if your missile misses you are just dead, you have no short range protection you have 60 cms and a rear aspect IR missile.
This jet is cooked

Seeing f-14as cut their engines and dump out flares just to still be hit by any ir missile is hilarious
dont think thats how it works, its asking for HPRF rather than CW. The other ARH missiles have mprf modes apparently(?)

They are for the 54A but can be applied to the 54C aswell since gaijin has copied stats over to it
