forecast international has been wrong on so many things over the years that Gaijin refuses to use them as a source for anything. Their real sponsor is JANES.
All relevant sources have already been forwarded and reports have been made on all of the stuff you’ve discussed. In lieu of overwhelming amount of evidence Gaijin has made almost zero changes to the Phoenix and likely won’t.
and no duel plane still
that seem like a pretty absurd take, aim47 is clearly based of the aim4/26 both are american missiles.
iris t and aam 5 are completely unrelated missiles developed by different countries

Quotes from F-14A Tomcat RIO:
“Sorry for the delay in responding. Although I never fired the AIM-54 in an exercise (I did launch them in a normal mode) it did have an ACM mode that gave it an active launch and higher maneuverability. So in effect it was like an AMRAAM.”
"Again we were at Top Gun over the desert doing gun defense maneuvers. When we got back to base and they checked the G meter it was pegged at 11.0. My pilot, Sluggo, complained of a bad back for a few days. They had to fly a new plane out from Oceana for us in Miramar. "

Can yall imagine if we had the biblically accurate Phoenix ingame?
- Notch tracking perfectly (even with CMs)
- Great Acceleration
- High G maneuverability
- ACM mode

The DCS missile is not well modeled.

I abused the hell of F-14B and AIM-54A MK.60 when it was unnotchable/unchaffable and could fly Mach 4 at sea level in multiplayer. It was always fun to fire at 15 NM using horizontal ACM and then watch the missile (via F6) fly and manouver.

54s in DCS is aren’t that hard for nothing.
I mostly play F-14A in GS server but missed lot of shots.
Also, I really hate Jester.
dcs planes cant pull 13-15g

- looks at the G paddle detent on my F/A-18C
Sustained no, but you can 100% peak at like 12 to 14 in DCS, you just risk causing your wings to implode.
not with normal FCS modes.
Depends on the aircraft just like WT, the 16C is still governed and in WT it cant jack it’s G loading in either title, stuff without FBW, F-14s, F-4s, the Mig-21, and others can all peak at far higher G loading just by ramming the stick back at certain airspeeds, the F-14 in particular used to be able to turn hard enough to cause your engines to implode and break all the instruments in the cockpit, but now the wings fail before such is achievable.
Wouldn’t really matter for the Phoenix in WT unless it’s sustained for a long time. Which isn’t possible.
In what way?
Wrong
Not only can they, they can easily exceed it as well.
Thrust, burn time, weights, warhead, seeker, it is all based on old data and hasn’t been updated in quite some time. The maximum overload is rather high in single plane and it doesn’t fly solely in either single or dual plane, it can just pitch with max G in any direction which is unrealistic. In real life it would need to roll first, and it would have trouble in the case of the AIM-54A at tracking non head-on or smaller targets against background clutter.
