Leis wait and see, the surprise shines tomorrow
The NATOPS is a quick search away, although it’s partially redacted. The biggest problem is the drag and guidance, on paper the thrust is accurate.
After years though, I have no real hope of any sort of fix on the Phoenix.
well this was disappointing

Yeah, they always do this. “Not a bug hurr durr”
Then why is the missile outright worse? They just refuse to explain themselves, it’s lazy and malicious.

Exscuse me, do anyone know how the following reply can answer all the arguments I made in this report(Community Bug Reporting System) regarding “Incorrect HPRF minimum range for the F-14 radars” and marked the [report] as “not a bug”?
“Bug Reporting Manager #2:
AN/AWG-9 is not an FMCW radar.
AN/AWG-9 uses single antenna to transmit and receive.
FMCW radars use two separate antennas to transmit and receive at the same time.
For AN/APG-63 and N-019/001 radars it is known that target range and speed are estimated in search mode by matching filters where target return appear between speed measuring phase and two ranging phases. Filter band width determines minimal values and resolution for range and speed.”

He told y that, because other radars have that problem, this one also has it and either disregarded the info you posted or just played the “we keep it as is because reasons” card

So how come the f14 with the worse missiles sits at 13.0 and the f14 with the actual good missiles sits at 12.7?
Furthermore, why does the phoenix still only have 17g pull compared to its realistic 24g? and why doesnt it at least get 20g like the farkour? is it so that you can sell gaijin coins so people buy the only f14 with good missiles?

pretty much yeah, to sell the f14 iriaf even more and make profits
but one of the answers to why they won’t make the aim54c pull 20g too because it’s not “realistic” as the fakour is based on that AA system’s missiles with the aim54a guidance integrated or something
Being fair, the IRIAF and it’s fakours is all it’s got. It’s still a F-14A with bad engines and abysmal RWR. It cannot go up without some sort of buff.

They could just buff the 54C to 20G like the farkour then problem solved. Put the 14b to 13.3 if needed.
I’d rather get an f14d with a good radar
Not “problem solved”. The Aim-54s would still be underperforming.

true but its a step in the right direction. think of how much people would cry if they had 24g.
The thing is still that I don’t see why it would need to be 13.3, it is still quite inferior to offerings beyond 13.0, especially with 13.0 aircraft carrying proper ARHes now.
The AIM-54 is and will still be just an afk / idiot trap even with a maneuverability boost as the primary underlying reasons as to why its meh is due to it’s bad seeker and it’s bad flight performance in general.
The 90 fixes the latter in spades but does not fully address the former, yet, is 12.7.
There is really no reason as to why the F-14B should currently, or even with that change be above the F-14A IRAIF, especially after the BOL nerfs.
