I’ve shaved at least a decade off my lifespan by fighting for the F-14 and Phoenix on these forums.
I wish someone with a following would cover the topic, but I think the CCs know that the common opinion is so against the F-14 that they’d only get flak for it.
Maybe Zent would cover it though? I don’t know.

Are these of any use? I was browsing some forums that weren’t in English for possible info and I found these:
It looks like missile schematics for the body and motor.

The all up ( & burnout ) weight(s) might be useful.
Since the -54A is currently datamined (burn out) as 273kg (602lb), not the listed 290.2kg (639.8lb) at.
So it’s likely subsequent thrust metrics are wrong, though I don’t know which motors are modeled in game, for which F-14 configuration.
Though the presence of Aluminum in the mixture probably indicates the “non-reduced smoke” variant.
You dont have something that has the max fin AOA do you?
Such values could directly help with the missile’s performance even if the G loading does not get increased.
Reduced smoke propellant still has aluminum, just a far less than standard propellant.
I saw the video , i think he was ironic. The F-14 IRIAF is OP and F90s are the best thing ever , when the others try to not defend against them.
In fact there is nothing to think, he was just ironic , but people will take it as they like because they think like that… so he must say that.
I’ll try. It’s hard to find these when the forum is in a language that can’t be digitally translated.
Perhaps share a link to that forum.
TBH I’m more curious as to what language it is that can’t be translated …

It can be translated, idk why it wasn’t translating before, but I tried again and it’s works fine.
Here’s the link: Vanjskobalistički proračun (program) leta rakete
Besides the Aim-54 there seems to be tons of (seemingly) primary sources on there.

I have a boatload of new stuff about the Aim-54 I’m pretty excited to share. I’ll post it (hopefully within the next hour. Here’s a sneak peek:

My findings in terms of Aim-54 dimensions and other stats etc…
I also found this: https://www.key.aero/forum/modern-military-aviation/6000-simultaneous-attack-with-six-aim-54as#:~:text=Regarding%20tests%20against,a%20direct%20hit. Which entails that the Aim-54 did 2 things its not capable of doing ingame.
- Tracking Rear-Aspect/Cold
- Resisting the notch

I don’t think any of this is official, or if it is, it requires the proof of declassification and availability for public distribution before you post it here.

I got it from here
They got the pictures from here: Scale Data and it doesn’t seem like any of them are classified. Looks like it’s acquired under the “Freedom of Information Act” or Museum documentation.
