thats still not correct. manual state 9nm ACM. gaijin did a unit mistake but we cant use the manuals cuz classified… i wonder how heatblur did it for DCS…
never said its op. its just way too good for its br imo (its my main US jet too, i love the damn thing)
if you (royal you) are not a lobotomite you wont do bad in it

Pretty sure the manual states 5nmi actually. Its also not super relevant in an actual F-14, since in an actual F-14, its the RIO’s job to get any locks beyond an actual dogfight. IIRC the mode in an F-14 is PAL for Pilot Assisted Lock-on. Hence why I made this suggestion in the past:
The RIO not doing his job, but the radar being finnicky and requiring a lot of manual inputs sort of leads to it being a very high workload plane.
This issue can be closed, according to the fantastic logic of gaijin - Add the F-14 of Japan, Germany and UK
At 5NM the Radar switches to P-STT
5NM is NOT its ACM range.
The PAL (Pilot Automatic Lockon) mode is enabled by the pilot
selecting DES (pressing switch forward) on the target designate
switch when not in A/G mode.
PAL commands the antenna to a 8-bar +/-20° scan pattern locking
onto the first target detected out to 15 NM. This mode is indicated
by the diamond on the HUD following current antenna line of sight

dont forget the iranian 14a for russia
I think Eurofighter Typhoon Trench 1 is enough to come out
Tranche one is purely A2A and sadly with that misses out because of 1 of the major complains
But isn’t it worth coming out now?
EF-2000 Tranche 1 Blk 2 would be early 4+ gen fighter because pure Air-to-air capabilities
EF-2000 Tranche 1 Blk 5 as a early domestic bundeswehr Multirole Fighter

Maybe I can highjack this a bit. How can I use AIM-120 @ F-4F ICE vs. helis in GRB? It somehow doesn’t work…
short answer you dont
The AIM 120 uses PD radards, you cant track hovering targets with it, only if the heli would be rushing forward
this video explains it well just with vtol abusing harrier

Only because Helicopter radar signatures are modeled improperly

i know, still he asked why in the game
if you are lucky they gonna fix that next update with the new helicopter models
In air rb I mainly use TWS mode. Spamming AIM-120 from elevated position towards promising TWS brackets gives consistent kills. In GRB helis give no radar return, strangely.
missle behaviour itself is PD doesnt change that. ARB will always have moving targets besides the occasional rare vtol hovering

Damit, was hoping its possible to lob AIM120 towards helis which are covered by Pantsirs. Otherwise its really hard to engage them.
cope, they’ll never fix it
Tranche 1 Block 5 has initial ground attack capability (Litening and Paveway II)
No dumb bombs on any Eurofighter (afaik the canards block the pilots vision)
