yes game uses fantasy numbers as most docs are export restricted
navair on f14A you can find it pretty easily
do you have a document YES or NO
even in the export resticted stuff there is nothing about the radar
trust me, i looked for it
It does? The lock slaves to the radar fine for me. Sometimes it does bug out but so long as I keep the radar lock I can deactivate the target point and it will snap back to the locked target.
i can tell you for a fact that there isnt anything major about its radar operating modes in there
did find this though
just a website with a spec sheet thats made not primary but a good secondary
Afaik radar stuffs are included to NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1A, NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1A, NAVAIR 01-F14AAD-1A.
They mainly describe weaponry, but there are no digital copies of those from the 1970s and 1980s, and those from the 1990s onwards are literally classified and impossible to find.

only the first image is about the radar modes
the second image has nothing to do with the radar itself and is about the IRST
the third image at best confirmes that it has TWS and explains how it works and isnt talking about target aspect
the fourth image is talking about the logic behind the radar and not about it being able to switch between HPRF and MPRF,
the thing ppl are complaining about, the radar only being in HDN PD and i didnt see any source that disproves that for now
and also please activate windows
not accepted as a source, can be at best used as a teritary source
this will probably not be accepted as a source either

i can tell you for a fact that the part about all sensors is missing in the digital copies of the F-14 manual
I have NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1 from 2004, which is latest manual of A model but, wasn’t also included radar stuffs. I can’t share it for obvious reasons of cause, but if you’re looking for detailed descriptions of radar and weapons, you’ll have to find a way to get your hands on -1A.

exactly and until that is declassified the F-14 will only have PD HDN in War Thunder
I found an interesting topic about -1A on the DCS forum.
Seems some -1A is not classified and not under of export control.
They are just insanely hard to find.
If it had an IRSTS / TCS that works why would it need MPRF? it provided similar capability with improved performance, in various respects.
Also the contention would further be supported as to how exactly the AIM-7M & -7P are guided if the F-14 only had a CWI illuminator, of which we know no Sparrows after the -7F supported, thus likely use PD-ILL waveform, which is a MPRF signal.

that manual says f-14a has mprf? would the f-14a be the earliest mprf radar?
I reminded that when I visited the JASDF Komatsu Air Base last year, NAVAIR 01-F14AAD-1 was on sale for somehow.
It is exactly same copy that is available in online.
However, not sure it is allowed to post in forum because title says Distribution Statement C.

Might need to see if things get revised downwards pending the Iranian Fleet being downgraded from a Fleet in being, to a Fleet in pieces.
Considering that much of the reason was to not give them ideas, and that the modern IRST-21 leverages much of the work done for the AAS-42. it might be partially released in future.
