I band is within x band I band is 8k-10 k MHz (8-10 ghz) x band is 8ghz to 12 ghz I don’t actually know if this would be useful though or what it would mean in game
What? Both F-14’s can track more targets then there are enemy players and data-link 6 missiles simultaneously, that’s as many ARHs as it can carry, so I don’t really understand this complaint.
I’m all for the ECA being added, and I have zero issue with no BR change as it replaces a weapon, so it is a trade off of offensive ability for defensive.
The electronic warfare stuff is simply not in game in any form currently, but should be added to the F-14 if/ when it is introduced.
I don’t think AIM-9Ms are a good idea with current compression, the smokeless motor alone is a bigger buff then IRCCM in my opinion. I can understand the F-14B would need them in an up tier, but it would be too much in a down tier so it would need to go up to 13.3 if it gets them.

The decompression plus addition of f-14d could fix a lot of that too

Bit off topic, but since you mentioned it,
1945 victory parade in Berlin, note what rolls in at 06:06:
Spoiler
Imagine showing off your little M24 Chaffees and M8 Greyhounds then the Russians roll in a wall of IS-3s
To be fair this display of the is3s absolutely scared the shit out of the Western allies leading to the development of centurion and a few other tanks

I think the Centurion was already in development, but you are correct about the panic it caused.
Lets not derail the topic to much though, I just couldn’t help myself with posting the video when I saw the comment about IS tanks fighting much later tanks in game.

Thought I’d bump this topic since I’ve added more info to my bug report, and no longer need to go the long way around and provide a design lineage bridge to the TISEO to the TCS prove functionality.
[DEV]The F-14B should be impacted by this change to IRST/EOTS

Damn the suggestions over a week old and a mod hasn’t even looked at it it’s unfortunate (I understand they have very limited resources)
I’ve been trying, but the moderators are obviously pretty busy at the moment.
I wouldn’t be surprised if at this point it doesn’t get implemented with the coming update since it needs to be reviewed for some platforms before it goes live, and so thy aren’t working all the way up to release on it.
I’m sure that if we all Spam every Technical moderator on the team that something might happen, eventually.
/s
But Seriously @Gunjob , please.

i wonder what where there faces when they learned about the IS-7
Probably not too concerned seeing as only six were built but either way it would have been scary to face down in a
m26
Not concerned but probably very scared if it ever got into service because the IS-7 is the most Powerfull tank build in it’s time

i wonder why there is no f14D yet given its just a worse f15E
again a vehicle that will be doa not because the plane in question is bad but because the much better equivalents are already in-game in the same tech tree
Radar would be similar to f-15 E and have IRST and upgraded digital displays

Yea but the airframe and old missiles(the only F14 with aim120 was a f14a apparently) would Still hold it Back
Also it would beat the f14b has the most complicated plane in Warthunder by a decent margin given as all the extra Radar modes of the f15e (compared to the c)
Aim at 7p would be available for f-14d and it has data link so it would be like a great value fox 3 also aim 54 c could receive a buff though it would push the f14 b higher in BR and they would need to decompress top to you for it to not be DOA but I still want to play that 14

aim7p is just a ton of hype for nothing
given it does not solve the most common issues with the aim7 which are maneuverability and speed
so all you really get is a better r27r (notice the lack of ER)

It should have better low altitude performance also but again that’s nothing to do with speed or maneuverability
Ignoring the fact, you’re almost certainly ragebaiting, let me explain it to you.
- If the F-14D gets AMRAAMS, it will be better than the F-15E. 8-10x Aim-120s, 2x Aim-9s, a direct upgrade to the radar, IRST, better maneuverability and high alt energy retention, and more countermeasures. It’ll only lack a little bit of TWR and Top speed. The plane is not bad, and there is no F-14 equivalent in the game right now.
It was an F-14A but had the radar of an F-14D. So if an enemy picked it up on radar, it’d be an F-14D. For all intents and purposes, it was an F-14D.

Having to choose between a f14ad and f14d would be interesting
One is good subsonic and the other supersonic
