I’m happy about the 9M for sure. Now I’m a bit concerned about the 54C. I’m hoping that it’ll be fixed with all the approved bug fixes.

idk about MPRF might have been on the Aim54C+ [now known as ECCM/SEALED] or not. even though the standard aim54C had it but. something better was added to the Aim54C+ a new
TWT from the AMRAAM project was on it. It could be found at navair web.
part one found at the start of fact sheet
ETC aim54C ECCM/SEALED VERISON HAD BEEN RETROFITTED with MOD KITS AS THE aim54C+
THIS BOTTOM TEXT IS IN USE FOR THE NORMAL AIM54C IT IS SEPARATED FROM THE AIM54C+ECCM/SEALED IT COULD BE USED OR NOT.
- upgrade allowed for “All-Aspect” engagement capabilities and superior target discrimination compared to the earlier AIM-54A.
- Documentary Evidence:
Source: Page 1468, Military Posture Hearings, 1980.
Key Data: Under the “Improved Phoenix Missile” chart, the seeker is explicitly listed as: "PULSE DOPPLER HI PRF
Analysis: Unlike the AIM-54A, the ‘C’ variant utilizes High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HI PRF) Pulse Doppler. This allows the missile to discriminate targets based on range and velocity more effectively than a standard CW seeker.
“Project W0614 - AIM-54 Phoenix Improvements”
Source: Supporting Data for Fiscal Year 1984 Budget Estimates (DTIC File).
Key Data: The document states the new receiver/transmitter includes a “frequency modulated transmitter” and provides the capability to “track through the target’s beam aspect.”
Analysis: The ability to track a target in a “beam” (perpendicular) flight path is a hallmark of Pulse Doppler processing. Continuous Wave seekers of that era typically struggled or failed to maintain locks in beam maneuvers due to ground clutter or signal filtering limitations.
Source: H.R. 1872 [H.R. 4040], 1979.
Key Data: The testimony confirms the AIM-54C has an “increased high altitude capability [and] all aspect envelope,” specifically noting that the “AIM-54A has no beam aspect acquisition.”
Signal Type: Change from “Continuous Wave” to “Pulse Doppler” (or “PD”).
Seeker Capabilities: Ensure the missile can maintain locks in All-Aspect scenarios, including Beam Aspect, as supported by the “New Capabilities” diagram in the provided documents (Page 1469).
this is for aim54C but it could be used for the MPRF for the Aim 54C+ ECCM/SEALED

It’s crazy that we need to hope for a realistic model of an AAM for several years.
We are supposed to be playing a realistic game, right ?
Its not like gaijin does not have the money to employ more devs to work on the huge pile of bug reports.
One of the best selling games on steam, with a gaijn store that features chesper prices wich is not represented on steam and we still have silly issues like that.
I just do not get it.

Meanwhile there are “French mains” complaining that they got copy-paste.
It was brought up that Viggen Di came with both premium & tech tree.
F-14D being both would be part of precedent.
& now France has F-16AM, whether they’re copy-paste or not, they’re at least extremely similar.

Nope keep coping it was tested on the heavy modified version of the A variant of the f-14 the US didn’t have the budget or the time to add the missile and update the radar to make it compatible with the f-14D ( you mentioned aim120)

I mean they let 12.0 BR die quite a long time ago…Speaking from my 1000 games of FGR2.

iriaf has r27s i think the f14d can have a aim120 not like its gonna be that bad considering how many nerfs that shit has had

Yeah, and the F14A couldnt use R27s and yet the Iranian one uses them in game. Dont even get me started on the Yak 141.

Kind of like the Iranian one was modified to carry it?
Kind of like it never worked after being modified…

The AWG9 the Iranian Tomcats had was incapable of data linking with the R27 Gaijin gave it, thus it wouldnt be able to guide in like a sparrow could.
