In this situation this makes you look more biased than reasonable.
trust me they were are all just premium zombers who don’t take evasive actions

No, I’ve died to fakours before despite being decent about precautions. They’re just extremely strong for the BR.
can you explain what happened? i tested the fakours today with a friend and it always loses track or gets notched

Nothing has happened? They have always been very powerful. The issue is sometimes you get as little as 5 seconds of RWR warning.
only 5 seconds? but the ARH seeker activates and should start giving rwr warning at 16km away. according to my calculations, if you are flying head-on at 1000km/h. the missile needs to fly at 10,520 km/h or mach 8.52 to reach you in 5 seconds which is far higher than the fakour’s top speed.

you’re assuming my RWR can see you at the very start of the timer when sometimes I’m banked one way in a turn for 5 seconds, which is often enough to give a fakour chance to sneak up.
Any tips for the F-100D?
Is there are clear photos of F-14B cockpit?
It seems the Engine Instrument Group (EIG) in the F-14B’s cockpit was a digital indicator, not an analog one as on the F-14A, but there is no evidence to support this other than a single photo.
Maybe there is some information about it in NATOPS from around 2000, but as far as I know it is still under of export controls.

Good thing you can see it coming from 100km away. Hope this helps bud.

Not in all circumstances…? You also can’t predict it’s coming for you? Once the fakour is close enough its burner is gone anyway?
It’s not particularly difficult to pre-notch a F-14 and prevent them from seeing you to begin with. Their radar is super simple and most F-14 players don’t even bother to use TWS correctly. If you have a decent RWR, put the bandit on your 3 or 9, fly like that until the missile spam hits the zombers and then turn in. You can even climb while doing it. They’ll never even see you on the radar screen. If you have an excess of chaff, you can also drop some of that intermittently to confuse their radar further.

You don’t even have to chaff the missile just pull 45 degrees away from it and stop complaining.

yes you can by using common sense. at the start of match, f14 will spam fakours. assume one is coming for you even if you dont hear or see it because that is what happens very often. dont play dumb and start evading. after enough time has passed you can continue the match.

Notch the Phoenix without chaff? lol it can find you even behind solid cover
Exscuse me, do anyone know how the following reply can answer all the arguments I made in this report (Community Bug Reporting System) regarding “Incorrect HPRF minimum range for the F-14 radars” and marked the [report] as “not a bug”?
“Bug Reporting Manager #2:
AN/AWG-9 is not an FMCW radar.
AN/AWG-9 uses single antenna to transmit and receive.
FMCW radars use two separate antennas to transmit and receive at the same time.
For AN/APG-63 and N-019/001 radars it is known that target range and speed are estimated in search mode by matching filters where target return appear between speed measuring phase and two ranging phases. Filter band width determines minimal values and resolution for range and speed.”

Because in the pure Fleet Defense Fighter role that the Navy was actually trying to fill, the F-111B was the superior aircraft. It could takeoff and land with a full load of 6 AIM-54s, which was the actual Navy requirement, the F-14 couldn’t do. It has a side by side cockpit with the escape capsule which the Navy wanted. It had superior top speed and climb, both of which directly improve its primary mission set effectiveness. They both carry the same radar and FCS which means any improvements the F-14 has in that regard, it only received because it came later and would have made their way into the production F-111B.
You can argue the F-14 was the aircraft the Navy actually needed, but per there own specifications for the mission set they actually wanted it to fill, the F-111B was the superior aircraft.
