I have complied with the feedback of the Bug Reporting Manager in the previous post.

Thank again for your swift response, Gaijin, but what does that even mean? I provided two sources in the report.
The same response was used in another ticket of mine, “Incorrect HPRF minimum range for AN/APG-63 PSP (Update)”, where I provided two sources.

Would be crazy if they fixed this within a few updates while letting the older buff-fixes rot
You’re responding to the wrong comment but does it even matter in this thread? They still haven’t given the F-14 it’s IR-T capabilities, and they probably won’t.
However, in the current game, this nerf will not affect much as most F-14 players becayse they usaually take x4 AIM-54, x2 AIM-7s.
Now give it the Fatter missile as well and it will be fine. Not many info on the missile though, still you can expect AIM-9P5 performance at the very least. In game , AIM-9P with 9M seeker.
That would be alright ig. I would rather R-73 though. Both are good. So the fatter would be only 20G then?
I can’t find specifications. I assume that is the airborn version of Azarakhsh missile from the SHORAD with the same name.
I haven’t used the marketplace can you translate pls
Yooo the checkmates.
If they implement the F-14A late, either Checkmates or Black Knights should be the stock camouflage. Both squadrons used F-14A until A models retirement.

BR changes thread has been forwarded, and my post about the IRIAF was the most liked post there (besides the otomatic one, which isn’t about air anyway)
I did my part!

I posted this in an unrelated thread a bit ago. Thought I’d share it here.
F-14 Update:
F-14D
New Armament:
8-10x Aim-120A/B
6x Aim-54C+ ECCM
4x Aim-9M-8
6x Aim-7P Block II
New Avionics:
AN/APG-71
F-15E Radar Modes, AWG-9 Range, New Exclusive Radar Mode, 80% resistance to chaff/notch/ECM
New Radar Mode for AN/APG-71:
TWS DL ET (Track-While-Scan Datalink Extended Track) | Allows radar to reach ranges up to 740km when paired with another AN/APG-71. Automatically enabled/disabled upon entering battle with another F-14D/Exiting 370km range of an F-14D
AAS-42 IRST
110mi Range, Radar Slaving, TCS Slaving, IR slaving
F-14 Changes
Missiles:
Aim-54 (All) - Drag reduced marginally, 25G overload
Added Mk.47 and Mk.60 Aim-54 Boosters to Modifications.
Mk.47: 30 Second Burn Time, Less Thrust, Slightly Less Heavy
Mk.60 33 Second Burn Time, More Thrust, Slightly More Heavy (Bonus: Smokeless)
Aim-54C and C+ ECCM receive their new seekers, allowing them to track rear aspect, use Anti-Chaff capabilities, and use the best possible loft profile.
Flightmodel: Getting hit in the wings now doesn’t mean you instantly depart flight, drag with the wings back at extreme speeds reduced, and the wing hitbox now follows where the wing actually is. Landing flaps now do around 20% more than combat flaps do for maneuverability and reduce the stall speed down to ~100kph.
Engines: F-14B/D get 30,200 Pounds of thrust and a TWR of ~1.39.
F-14A+IRIAF
A: Aim-9L, F-14B RWR, 13.0, Upgraded to best TF-30 Engines giving it a ~0.99 TWR.
IRIAF: R-73, 6X Fakour-90, Upgraded Radar/RWR, weight reduction giving it a 1:1 TWR.
All F-14s and 2 Seater jets without HMD get this too: Mouse designated radar lock for 2 seater jets
RIO changes:
-
The RIO can now spot IR missiles
-
Inform you of enemy positions in a dogfight.
-
Has the ability to be controlled in the multifunction menu to automatically deploy flares when an IR missile is spotted, automatically switch radar modes to keep lock, and automatically switch between chaff/flares depending on the type of missile (only switches to chaff/flares once the threat is confirmed through a missile’s radar signal/an IR missiles presence).
-
They now have voicelines corresponding to what the Betty system says is already in-game + these new features.
Personally, I think this would fix most if not everything wrong with the F-14. I tried to keep it realistic with what actually could be done, so lmk your thoughts.

I’d like to see the TISEO/TCS screen properly modelled instead of using the standard TV camera screen. Took this from DCS.
It would actually be useful then instead of this.
The current screen is only actually usable under 1km. Anything above and it’s covered by the lines. And yes this is zoomed in with the MFD Zoom keybind.

the double missile rails that would be needed for the 8x configuration can also be mounted to the AIM-54 belly rails via the ADU-703 adapter, meaning it would actually be 8-12.
