F14B is still a issue in 2025

I mean… there are simply too many things that need fixing on both the F-14A and F-14B.

F-14A Early

  • Incorrect flight model under SAS mode(sim) : Same goes with B model
  • AN/ALR-23 IR seeker : From NATOPS manual, they were available until 1980
  • AN/ALR-45/50 Hands off mode : Makes possible to identify what aircrafts/missiles are locking you
  • TF30-P-412A : Too high heat signatures
  • Missile activation conditions based on target size (6NM/10NM/13NM)
  • AIM-9L : They were available since 1977
  • AIM-54 PD-STT SARH mode : If you launched with PD-STT mode, AIM-54s never go active
  • VDI A2A mode : Shows better missile launch distance when you selected AIM-7/AIM-54

F-14A IRIAF

  • AN/ALR-23 IR seeker : They were also available pre IIAF service
  • TF30-P-414A : Bit different from 412A that F-14A Early has
  • Drop tank
  • AIM-54s at wing pylon

F-14B

  • Auto flap mode
  • PAL mode : 30NM ACM mode with P-STT
  • Incorrect TCS modeling
  • ECA : Additional CM launchers at Station 3/6
  • Sparrowhawk HUD
  • new VDI
  • AIM-9M
  • AIM-7M(H build) aka AIM-7MH
  • AIM-7P

AIM-54A/C

  • Mk.47 motor : Basically low smoke and better thrust but shorter burn time
  • Loft profile : depends of launch condition but, they can reach over 100,000 ft
  • Dual plane : Makes it possible to turn 24-25G
  • Incorrect drag modeling

My experience on SU33 is that the r27 ER is able to FNF from its IOG at sub 10 km range but that’s just on the one airplane I don’t know how it reacts with different radars
