I noticed that the thrust in game is less then what it has irl for both A and B model of the f14
Witch weird bc it can carry 6 7m’s or 6 7f’s

I assume that documents (NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1) is still classified…
How is that? ok, let’s see…
You have 2 wing pylons reserved for AIM-9s.
Can’t you place 2x AIM-54s in the other 2 wing pylons?
And carry the Sparrows in the belly ?
I don’t think it is…but when I posted it people freaked out saying I posted classified information even when I texted it’s on the internet where everyone has access to it but 🤷♂️

you are not wrong there are plenty of other planes that could be added its just that f14d should have come before hornet. and they could even release updates that are not focused on top BRs or even fixing/polishing a lot of mechanics and features and i would be happy.

Just because a document is circulating on the Internet does not mean it is not classified.
Afaik, some NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1(mostly post 1980s) still falls under Distribution Statement C.
i have NAVAIR 01-F14AAD-1 (1997) it was on a flight manual library web site
These have likely been previously used in a multitude of bug reports (not by myself), and personally sourced from said War Thunder reports (now ~2 years old) as partial excerpts sans cover page and the was likely not provided for the original upload, as they were not retained by the upload to way-back.
I couldn’t with any certainty specify which exact document it came from as the relevant reports aren’t mine but reverse imaging look up indicates that DCS forums are likely (due to similar water damage in the scans) so who is to say how exactly it was obtained, though they likely have different rules.
additionally
and thus is likely from;
DCS cover page
N.B: it is also apparent that additional scans have something Blanked out at the bottom of the page.
Anyway the other source that the excerpts are from is specified to be Statement “A”, and the contents are materially similar(or functionality inferred), so as to what exactly the outcome would be (likely because Iran did not optionally include any Aux. Sensors with their purchases), so it’s not sensitive in the same way as other elements in the F-14 FMs, also other Elapsed F-14 FM’s do exist, like the Provisional 1972 variant.

Well considering the US tech tree has been pretty consistently getting the most vehicles these few last updates, I’d much rather see gameplay fixes first and foremost. With a minimum amount of vehicles for next update.

I do agree with that
I think they should keep adding vehicles for all nations for planes and tanks (I don’t play naval personally they should receive their own updates and events) and they do try to fix the gameplay in between major updates one thing I would personally like to see is console getting access to the user made skins and the gajin store to be able to access collection vehicles or vehicles that where removed.
Doesnt really happen in the case of the tomcat. Its pretty meh at 12.7 and complete trash at 13.0.

Ive reasearched it a month+ by now. I refuse to buy it. Why would i ever play it when it faces su27s and f15s?
why say su27s and f15s when you can say rafale and eft instead
Because that isnt as bad. Every 13.0 sucks compared to 14.0s. F14b sucks compared to 14.0s, 13.0s, and even the new very balanced premium f/a18 is better than it at a lower br

the only thing that should be done is giving them all better IR missiles

This is the major problem . You can play it with a bit of luck with AIM-54s ,but after than over 13.0 BR you have nothing. On the other hand someone can say “but 12.0s -12,7s” and i can politely answer tell it to Su-27s and F-15A…

any sources for that? given the aim120 is a much newer missile
sounds like coming from the same tests which prompted the f4 phantom and sea vixen to not have a gun because no one would outsmart/outrun/outurn an aim9B right? RIGHT?
To be fair the F-14A and Bs do have hot engines, meaning flares are less effective compared to other jets.
BOL, or even regular flares from what I’ve seen aren’t really effective on deterring IR missiles on the F-14s, including non-IRCCM missiles.
