You can’t launch the 27ER on TWS, so that does not affect it. The only problems I find is with phoenixes and fox2 slaving

I thought you needed a hard lock to launch, then could use TWS to update for a while then switch back to a hard lock for the impact phase
they recently removed that ability iirc
If they decide to implement this the F14B would would actually be interesting to fly, given they don’t don’t cite balancing factors 😂.
Can some forum maneager report this issues to the developers?
This happens today
My plataform is ps4
If you agree with that let give force to the ideia go in the future
Sorry but the day Gaijin takes that seriously and implements it is the day pigs fly.
It would make the F-14B unnotchable within 16ks~ which is limited further by render distance of planes. Defeating the missile itself becomes the only way of defense.

Well yes… thats kinda the point?
You are aware that even if the AWG-9 can no longer be notched or chaffed off, the Sparrow still can tho, right?
Cuz the AWG-9 is just the illuminator, the Sparrow has the receiver and guidance system to follow said illumination.
It wouldnt make the sparrow unnotcheable, it would make it much much harder to notch in a small cone infront of the F-14’s nose, itd actually be relatively compareable to the F-16/MiG-29/M2K radar at that point, but only under ideal conditions
Iirc the Sparrow’s notch gate is like 20m/s while top-tier MPRF radars have notch gates of 24-26m/s.
So it wouldn’t be particularly OP imo

You’ve just repeated what I said.
fix all radars
wait what, this is still not implemented??

Nope, and it likely never will be.

It should but they don’t care and like @MythicPi said, I don’t think it will ever be implemented. Only if we had many more jets with the same feature, especially if those happened to be russian.
Would be cool but to be honest it’s not a feature that would make much of an impact within the game. The F-14 suffers more by having a gimped radar and bad loadout (except the IRAF one). Radar should be way better than it is and the Phoenixes too.

Are you implying that Gaijin would care about the technology being modelled in game if it was Russian or that if more nations planes had it, they would care more?
There are technically 3 new jets with the function now, the British and Italian Eurofighters PIRATE could do the same (IIR based instead of directly TV based though), and the Rafale as well with its TV sensor in the nose, as well as potentially its IRST (not sure if its IIR or not.
So now instead of impacting 1 fighter, it impacts 4 in-game. Wouldnt be suprised if the Rafale and Typhoons all got it working and the F-14B got cucked tho, the devs seem to have some sort of weird intense hatred for the plane and everything about it.

Yes
Those were added recently and still have lots of issues. Maybe when F35’s get added the F-14 can get that feature

Given Russian planes missing their targeting pods and munitions as well, I don’t think Gaijin would care especially if they consider the technology to be too powerful.
Targeting pods already exist in the game for a long time, that’s just their decision on what planes have it or not, but that’s more related to what capabilities one plane should have at their BR. Like the F-16 MLU could have amraams but in-game it doesn’t and in my opinion for that specific case, it works better that way because it’s a better 12.7 platform than 13.7.
The tracking camera from the F-14b being able to be paired to the radar and vice versa isn’t a game-changing thing, especially since it already has a good RWR to identify radar sources iirc
