will tomcat finally get AIM-9M this update ? B model not A
It has been implemented. Many of the “MiG-15 issues” were them simply notching the aircraft.
@Gunjob Has also tested extensively.
Its not the same. EFT does not have an AESA.

Given the Blue Vixen doesnt struggle to the same degree that the CAPTOR-M does. I do not beleive it is entirely the case.
So, does this mean we can assume it will never be added?
This has not been said at all.

A could also carry 9M
idk i only have the fact the B has it if you have any files on it let me know
There is implication in the statement.
Priority track provides (for all intent and purposes) the same functionality that AESA radars have for maintaining track on up to 20 different targets (air or ground and at the same time if needed)
The same code being applied to the AESA radars could be applied to the CAPTOR-M and would function 90% correctly, just needing tweaks for how many targets could be tracked at once.
This would also deal with the TWS tracking issues if the radar is maintaining good track of anything within its FoV using priority track
If the AESA code cannot be applied because CAPTOR-M is Mechanical radar, then it will need its own custom code, which we will probably be waiting for a good long while (looking at Tornado Slat code)
would this buff tomcat ?
thanks ill save that
If it has a priority track mode similar to that of the CAPTOR-M, maybe.

i believe D might not sure but tomcat is able to track numerous targets
I like this for a changeup.
The difference might be whether or not the F-14s radar can continue to track targets outside its designated FoV
“High priority tracks will continue to be tracked even if they leave the scan volume defined by the pilot”
CAPTOR-M was able to move at 333°/sec to quickly “jump” to the track, update it, and then return to its TWS scan pattern.
There is not. Simply you read too much into it.

It’s just as simple as the CAPTOR is underperforming a lot.
The Harriers are also underperforming compare to the only source of their performance.
It’s impossible to have conflicting sources if there is only one source.
so about the aim-9M on the F14B
Then can we expect pirority track in a timely fashion or, as the Typhoon is now an “old vehicle” the majority of the dev time is being given to the SU-30SM and F-18s arriving this major update?
