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.
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
Massive exaggeration of F-14 ability
if F-14D gets ‘all’ of it, it will look like somewhat similar to
I know it can be considered as ‘what-if’ ultimate version of F-14D.
Still, I really am unsure about adding the AIM-120 to the F-14D idea.
im not in favor of aim120 on f14 i think it needs to fill a slot just below top br but top br should also be higher than it currently is
Actually he’s not the f14D can carry at least 6- 8 araams with the lau127/a (witch im pretty sure has a dual configuration ) that would be found on 8b/1b and then the 4 where 3,4,5, and 6 armament and 9m for 8a/8b and 1a/1b
“can” more like… “could have” had the Integration program been actually finished.
It was just not purchased
So the report’s trying to get TCS functions activated for the -14B been resolved as “not a bug”
[DEV]The F-14B should be impacted by this change to IRST/EOTS
"Presently the F-14B doesn’t use its EO tracker as part of its STT automation. As such isn’t subject to the fix requested.
The fix for the aircraft mentioned in this report is only to resolve the automation rapidly changing between radar and IR/EO while in STT. It isn’t to grant full launch capabilities in those modes and doesn’t allow for it when manually switching to IR/EO modes."
Also as there is an existing report on the issue, anything further would be marked as a duplicate report, so we’re effectively stuck in a Catch 22 waiting for the Dev’s to implement an existing feature to an airframe that they have forgotten about, before it can be implemented.
Well because youre listing “functions” that are not in game…
The fix on the dev server doesnt enslave the radar to the irst or allows,you to launch fox1 and 3 when you manually switch to the irst, just allows the radar to keep its track when it switches automaticaly, thing that doesnt happens on the f14 to begin with.
So the tag “not a bug” is correct, this would fall into a suggestion not a bug.
How so? Everything I’ve said is a fact.
Wether the program was finished is irrelevant. Fleet-wide integration is not a thing in Warthunder. Every single F-14D will be a carbon copy of each other. Since the F-14D was fully compatible with the Aim-120, it should get Aim-120s.
i see
Depends on which way you look at it, IRL both the Sensor or Radar can Cue each other onto a target, as such it is entirely separate to the Automatic search modes / program(s) that are available.
Thus it (EOTS supported angular tracking of target though the Notch, radar Blind speeds etc., or otherwise) could be implemented without the “Autonomous Search”, which was what the report was trying to have happen.
Also, since at least for now the Radar and the Aux. Sensor(s) cannot operate simultaneously, so technically “AS” mode can’t be used as it requires TWS to be active simultaneously, in order to slew the LoS around so there is no way to the mechanize independent search capability.
So in effect it catch 22’s itself.
The only way to have it properly implemented in game (the way they want it) due to existing limitations was to have it in it’s “Slew to Radar LOS” set of modes, due to the requirement of the automatic search mode(s) to have the Radar in TWS to function.
Still, this will require a new mechanic, but youre claiming that “The F-14B should be impacted by this change to IRST/EOTS” and using this as a premise to claim this new mechanic as a bug, again this would fall as a suggestion as it is completely different to the change to the irst, as the irst doesnt improve the guidance in any way as they just change that you dont drop the lock when the plane switches to irst automatically.
