It looks like it was labeled not a bug because the f-14b doesn’t have its EO/irst modeled

Please go back and actually look at the above sources and note the “Weapons Capability” columns for the IR- and -Radar Slaved modes (PDSRSL / PRSL) include references to both SARH and ARH missiles.
It’s capability to both launch and continue to guide the missiles in flight is retained.
And so limit it similarly the tracking needs to be initiated by the radar to qualify, it’s not that big a deal. That why I was requesting the F-14B’s inclusion in said changes as it does qualify for the change as is.
The change he quoted literally changes that
And it’s sill impacted by the issue, what do you think currently happens to the TCS when a Radar tracked target enters the notch of the AWG-9 on the Live server?
I can tell you it doesn’t retain the track.
And it’s also similarly impacting a number of targeting pods that should have Air to Air tracking modes / functionality.
And I believe if the TISEO is implemented f4e also had a TISEO system
The TISEO is already implemented in game on the Kurnass 2000, And the US F-4E is a franken-plane, that doesn’t actually adhere to any known configuration. And Gaijin remain evasive about what it is supposed to be.
They have also refused to clarify the situation so the correct report that would bring it into line with documentation is effectively impossible, though Pending either the split into an Early & Late variant or the addition of the F-4D or F-4G, I would begin a series of reports to bring it into line with either an Early or Late configuration as to differentiate it.
A Block 53 is probably closest to what is currently portrayed.

The change keep the lock with the irst and allows to launch the missille, but still the irst doesnt help with the guidance in the notch, “EOTS supported angular tracking of target though the Notch, radar Blind speeds”, this is the “new mechanic” that im talking about.
And as far as im aware of the f14 have a manual switch not an automatic like the change refers to.
That’s not how things work, the angular error correction loop of the system is maintained until either the track is lost, the radar finds a target, or “Half-action” is commanded by the hand controller. If it does not detect a target, and the radar does, it will look at the Line of sight of the radar until it does and then assumes optical tracking.
Additionally note the specific wording of the highlighted “Slave | TCS-” function below, “During STT”, which is a radar function, thus the transition is automatic and has checks and differing logical flow pending radar lock-on state. (also as a side not it is apparent to me now that it theoretically also would be able to be autocued to a datalink target).
Well i retract that, the f14 should switch automatically.
could be as it seems that it can also be slaved to the computer

Something else of note is that it only has a gimbal limit of 30 degrees, so it only covers a small fraction of the searched volume, and as such being limited to only +/- 30 degrees, makes any potential Cranking maneuver, not very good at actually draining energy out of incoming missiles.
As such the actual benefit of the system is fairly limited in a 1v1 and would require you to to remain committed to a single target to benefit from the improved tracking, much more so than contemporary systems, with their much improved 60 ~ 70 degree angular limits providing a significant benefit to the effectiveness of defensive maneuvers.
Is this a realistic behaivor, does anybody know?
For which aircraft? It’s probably not, for those installations due to the fact that their detectors tend to be fairly advanced staring / scanning arrays, with advanced image segmentation algorithms, and track files the sensor(s) produce are unified and the radar is being directed off said synthetic data.
Rather than a detector that physically tracks a target and feeds the Line of Sight back into the computer to calculate look angle that supersedes the radar’s return.

Any clues too when the f14D might come?

We just got a big naval jet update so I would give it more time. Maybe update after next
Enough USA planes. I am soo sick of USA getting OP planes or mass quantities of them. It’s literally been ruining the last few updates for those of us who try to have fun in sim.

Probably in the next 2 updates. It’s logical step if they want to add F/A-18E and it’s superior to F/A-18C… I believe next update though possibly will be a new F-16V for US and Sufa for Israel.
That’s my own prediction though…
Also if they want it to have a meaning, they should bring dual plane for missiles and ECM/ECCM , Jamming /flooding radars etc. , else just give AIM-9M and AIM-7P to F-14B and call it a day, it won’t have any meaning. The part that sets it apart from 14B is mainly the radar and the electronics, making it way more capable across the line. If this can’t show up in the game , there is no meaning other than the name… If they just bring it for the APG-71 to lock targets better , then it will be a failure anyway.

That’s the thing, if we are talking with same era equipment , let’s say 90s -Gulf wars (because the AMRAAMs we have now are that level) , F-15E will just eat the missile while not be able to do crap from the get go (realistically) , it was happening in excersises… as soon as F-15s got airborn they were already locked /flooded (blind radar let’s say) and shot down whithout being able to do anything. That wasn’t the case with AWG-9 Tomcats, at the same era. Also, AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed was more powerful missile than AIM-120A/B … It was un-nochable , could sea-skim better (didn’t give a crap about your altitude) and the only practical defence was terain masking , if you ever understood from where its coming with all the flooding in the systems the radar could create.
Now the thing with the current 14.0s is that they are expandable , they can add many things (F-15E/AIM-120D with improved radar etc. of our times, yes that’s way better combo than the Tomcat 20 years before …and AESA radars, can’t get flooded as well). But same era things… everything will have problem if they actually make the game to work realistically for radars/weapons etc (i understand it’s not easy and it’s work in progress, but players have to understand that the game doesn’t take many things into account…yet).

They removed the ability to carry 4 7M’s when equipping 54A’s. Instead you get 3 7E2’s. Should be back to 12.7 in that case.
