Yeah For the A-4E specifically, I remember reading a bug report on it which said since the A-4E got flares then its to this certain spec, which should also include Aim-9Ds for all 4 pylons because there was a adapter for the inner bomb pylon to accept a AAM. Plus its supposed to have the -P8A engine not the -P6A. This would actually make it usable in air rb as a fighter cuz of more thrust.
Its kinda crazy that you actually have to spend real USD to get a decent A-4E with the better engine and whatnot. (Refering to the Israeli Premimum A-4E “late”)
Fakour-90
Sedjeel
I would expect both missiles to be extremely similar if not identical to their American counterparts, simply on account of them being literal clones of each
(Oop, we have a F-14AM thread)
The Fakour is not a clone of the AIM-54, it shares only the wing design and the dimensions are similar so that they may mount to the pre-designed hardpoints of the F-14.
Are the BOL pods bugged?
For some reason one piece of BOL chaff is 1/5 the strength of regular chaff. They should be very similar but gaijin said Nuh uh.

No I mean I only had 60 countermeasures on the F-14B even with them equipped, seems to work now though.

Delete the loadout you’ve made with BOL and recreate it, that normally fixes loadout bugs.

A lot of us here do, but Gaijin will never let that happen, especially not with the new IRAF version. Can’t have a tech tree plane be better, because it gets in the way of their money schemes
They only ever carried AIM-9M-1s and AIM-9M-3s. AIM-9M-8s were used by F/A-18E/Fs. The F-14D tested the AIM-9M-8 but it was never adopted because the tomcat was retired.
Sorry, I didn’t mention F-14A from IRIAF
So change AAM stock 2x AIM-9L replace with AIM-9M for F-14B.
But I don’t know now AIM-9M for aviation rank 8 it’s AIM-9M-1 or AIM-9M-3
It not just F/A-18E Blk 1, USN & USMC F/A-18C/D Hornet armed AIM-9M-8 too
F/A-18E/F Blk 1 armed AIM-9M-10
But AV-8B Night Attack & AV-8B+ (USMC) armed AIM-9M-8 ?
👍
Yeah it wasn’t just the super hornet but that was the only one I could remember off the top of my head srry
F/A-18A+/B+ and F/A-18C/D (USN & USMC) armed AIM-9M-8 ?
AIM-9M-10 it’s exclusive for Super Hornet Block I ?
Only E/F used M-8, A+ and B+ used M-3 and than AIM-9X
I don’t know about marine hornets I would need more research
I don’t know but I think some others may have tested or received it.
Carried or tested?
Doesn’t matter, if War Thunder didn’t have the doublest standards ever it’d have them eventually.
