I have full understanding if there’s limited dev resources/time, and that adding this new AoA limiter feature to a bazillion planes might be too much for this update, but I agree with you.
It’s not OK to simply label “not a bug” in this case. That essentially amounts to throwing a genuine report in the paper bin.
IMO the correct response would be “Accepted, will be implemented at a later date”

I wouldn’t be mad if they hadn’t of said “No further bug reports will be accepted.”
As you said, it’s throwing a genuine report in the garbage.

Yeah, apparently the installation of AN/ALQ-126 started around 1984 with the F-14A BuNo.161168.
It can be seen in some F-14As taken around the same time.
VF-1 Wolfpack 1984
VF-1 Wolfpack 1986
VF-211 Checkmates 1987
However, not all Tomcats belonging to their particular Squadron underwent this modification, and we could see a mix of those modified or not Tomcats throughout the 80s-90s even on same squadron.
For their mechanics, it must have been horrible.
