they probably jsut printed the one out that you can get online

it still says NATEC ELECTRONIC MANUAL

What radar exactly?

but problem is that the PD HDN is significantly worse than say a F4J PD HDN
has the highest notch angle in game for some reason so its one of the easiest to notch

AJ37 with PS-37A radar has MPRF and TWS at 10.3

oh i thought he was talking IRL

It doesn’t actually lock, just centers the camera on whatever the radar is locking. If you turn off your radar, the TCS will stop following the target (and instead “lock” the air at the last known position). You also can’t “lock” the TCS on a target without the radar, like the harrier can. If somehow you can, I’d really like a clip.

You can see that on the harrier there’s a second smaller green square around the aircraft, which means the pod is actually locking it. You don’t have this on the F-14B like it used to.

Getting on this ASAP. The F-14 deserves it’s true speed, as it’s one of the few things it has left. It’s wayyy too slow right now.

Where do you get the mach 2.6 quote from?

I’m not complaining, I’d love a super speedy Tomcat, just interested.

Edit:
I found this, claiming 2.5, with the possibility of going faster

Well, maybe heatblur have one? If yes, i believe smbd could ask them then

IIRC, Heatblur has -1A physical copy but, I don’t think they will share it.

A book called “Grumman F-14 Tomcat - Aero Series 25”

@Smin1080p_WT @Gunjob Sorry for the pings, could you guys look at this and bump it? Thanks.

What this also (hopefully) does is decrease drag and increase lift so the F-14s will perform better an basically all speeds. Might see some thrust curve changes too who knows.

I’m expecting null after my last 2 bugreports :(
