It automatically does it for you, you can’t manually do it anymore. It’s been like that for like a year or 2 now
Not for the AWG-9 lol. I lose track when the target starts turning instantly… No SRC or anything.
yeah notch angles are super high for whatever reason higher than the F4J which has better radar for some reason

im pretty sure f-14/awg9 has like almost no notch angles when in look up
its PD doesnt work in rear aspect you gotta turn it off to lock in rear aspect but no PD means 1 chaff F4J can rear aspect with PD both have HDN PD but F4J is better for some reason
manual control of this removed for all jets long ago, auto only now
Just noticed they fixed ECM blisters at beaver tail for VF-74 Be-devilers skin.
B model also has many model/texture errors but, still good step for makes it correct more.

I was googling for some F-14 manuals and found an interesting book.
After reviewing multiple page fragments, found that most of the content is almost identical to that published in the original NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1 from early/mid 1980s, which is still under of export control. This book may be be the closest secondary source to the primary source that is currently legally available.
This book has ISBN codes and You can find this documents easily from Amazon or somewhere and
available in every nation.

still waiting for F14D
To be honest i don’t anymore.
They will make it crap and i don’t want to see it because i’ll get angry…
not to mention they will make it BR 15.0 with overnerfed armament and people will still call it OP …
In general the idea of GJ even thinking my favorite planes … i don’t like it.
Also, for newer planes they don’t need NAVAIRs etc.
even if they get them they prefer the ^a…p…l^ source…!

I’m working on a bug report to fix the F-14’s flightmodel. Currently, even in best case scenario, the F-14s cannot go their accurate top speed of 2.34 Mach. The F-14B barely breaks Mach 2.1 and the F-14A literally falls apart at 2.25. Their acceleration also falls off a cliff at those speeds, which is exactly what they were optimized for (and why they can’t reliably supercruise) so I’ll probably add that in there too. The Ramjet turbines on the F-14A are nowhere to be seen. I highly doubt the devs haven’t seen the thousands of sources out there saying the top speed for both of these aircraft is Mach 2.34 (some even saying higher for the F-14A), so I’ll just assume this is another one of those artificial nerfs they’ve tacked on to the already nerfed jet.
Update soon.

What? Ram air and ramjet are two very different things.
I wish there was a forum thread like this for the F-4E. Ive tried soo many times to get things fixed on the F-4E in game for so long and I feel like they just dont care about fixing existing planes in game unless its top tier related.
You can create an f-4e thread yourself yk

I think he got confused with the wording.
There is RAT (Ram Air Turbine) which a back-up power source for hydraulic and electric power in emergencies and many planes (if not all) have it with the Ramjet-like effect (there is no turbine or a mechanism) of TF30s .
The TF30s 14A used had a ram-jet effect, on high speeds , but that doesn’t mean they were ramjet engines. Just that the engine has a similar effect with how ramjets behave , having more thrust the faster you go.
Also , F-14A could go well over its said limit …
and that’s not the only time i’ve read of such feats.
Also the TF30s in F-14As were de-tuned for the most part of thier life (from late 70s) , because the more you push something, the more maintenance it needs… and those engines were big b…es in maintenance…
So, i don’t know what sources GJ works with…
but 2,34m … the plane should be able to do it at least naked .

Also F-14A in late service…
thats basically f-14a+ which is literally just f-14b
