Next update :) jk, We have no idea. Just keep an eye out for leaklists and if this suggestion ever gets passed to developers.

Probably this year. Personally, I think next major update will be stuff like the Superhornet, F-2A, Gripen E, and maybe even planes like the Mig-35
Gripen E should be released with F35 because Saab claims them to be comparable

The F-14D used the Aim-9X: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=oHwIcq6g9wRBAtlW&t=1565
The Aim-54s Active guidance parameters were variable to the shot being made: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=yJAFNdAZKuCnYkbZ&t=1098 and can be shot active off the rail: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=73LgDOK0Sz0myARd&t=1134
AN/APG-71 has MPRF and HPRF: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=C7JAaCZuqwxWxhmZ&t=851 and can track through the notch: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=1Ald7ZKKLjHkP0nC&t=875
The F-14D’s IRST was very good. Giving clear imaging up to 200 miles: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=qW2Yt89WJ9v_m2Hd&t=6425 and it can be slaved to the AN/APG-71 to get a track: https://youtu.be/YJW5As4Os4U?si=U6KUh88BE2esLDiV&t=6466

The AN/APG-71’s addition of the new Databus allows everything to talk to each other (sensor fusion?!) : https://youtu.be/W6acxEWImvs?si=eVIUAmQQKgEGWJ_w&t=957
AN/APG-71 Scan pattern? https://youtu.be/W6acxEWImvs?si=pIfMKcpOK66uqYL4&t=1232
AN/APG-71 could use HPRF and MPRF at the same time with new radar mode: https://youtu.be/W6acxEWImvs?si=SIj4d1yAR5WpjJHX&t=1390
Video 4:
A Mid Compression Bypass Circuit Breaker could be pulled to give an extra 2000 pounds of thrust: https://youtu.be/BDERZpazb3g?si=lmtA7Ob_lMkAiPaX&t=95 (Given that our planes ingame use WEP [War Emergency Power] for afterburner, we possibly could see this added ingame. Our thrust would increase to 32,200 x 2, giving us a TWR of ≈ 1.47 which is .10 higher than what we have now.

I’m curious, is this on any other jets?
Not that I’m aware of.

This is cool and all but is there any evidence? Images, videos or documentation saying it used it?

Would like to see the F-14D come at the same time as the F-14A late, which is also is not currently in the game.
Exactly what I’m wondering. Gaijin has stated that pilot testimonies aren’t sources or valid enough in any capacity to warrant an addition such as this. We would need better evidence to prove something like this.
