The AN/APG-71 of the F-14D has six datalinks as shown in the game in module view. The AIM-7P supports datalink too (as can be seen on the F/A-18C Early). My assumption is that they didn’t give it the AIM-7P for balancing reasons, as there is already the F/A-18C Early at the same BR with AIM-7P but without AIM-9M. Otherwise they really couldn’t call the F-14D a sidegrade to the F-14B (which it already isn’t because of the much better radar, but much better SARH missiles would really put their “argument” ad absurdum).

and you are wrong the Radar can DL to the 54s doesn’t mean it can DL to the 7Ps

People already answered you in F-14 dedicated topics
its not about the datalink ammount its about the datalink system (the f18 radar can support the aim7p datalink)
Would be news to me that there is a difference between datalinks ingame. And the AN/APG-71 is more modern than the AN/APG-65 of the F/A-18C Early (1980s vs. 1970s) while the AN/APG-71 has datalink support for the AIM-120 integrated AFAIK. So why shouldn’t it be able to datalink the AIM-7P but just the much older AIM-54 and the more modern AIM-120?
APG-71 was built around Phoenix-specific datalink infrastructure which AIM-7P cannot read as it runs on Link 16.
All tests done with AIM-120 were carried in STT mode, meaning no DL was used. With a different radar too (AWG-9).

When are you guys going to stop implementing things based on your own assumptions and pushing the burden of proof onto the players? shouldn’t the dev team be providing the sources first before making these questionable changes?
what’s the actual basis for the relikt buffs, or the Su-30MKM having RVV-SD compatibility when Malaysia never even imported that missile?

does anyone else feel like they broke iron fist? it just failed to intercept a barrel launched atgm from a ztz.
The game in general is buggy, I’ve had some of my shots straight up phasing through the enemy, and when I checked the same replay I found that another shot phased through me as well.
This probably could have penned, I didn’t even get a “hit” marker
Shell did no damage
yeah im starting to notice that when playing more. aps is buggy shots are buggy camo nets are buggy etc etc
(and gbu 53 are straight up broken and not in the good op way in the “they do no damage” way

ALARM are WAAAY better than Kh-58U and Kh-27P
that’s like comparing AiM-9M to AiM-9E
Ah, I’m not the only one then, with issues. Yesterday my game froze multiple times, even though I usually have 0 issues and at least 65fps on movie settings.
(RTX4060 and Intel I7 13-something)
that means nothing. the tornado gr.1 being considered a 12.0 jet even if it got 2 ALARM is stupid considering the SU-39 gets 6 ARM weather there worse or not
yes the Worse airframe with worse ARMs is at a lower BR
the slower plane with better turning better missiles better radar better targeting better munitions at a lower br with 6 ARM
but the tornado cant get any because its faster and has better ARM but could get less of them?
