The F14 needs to be buffed. It being a early 4gen fighter fighting against 4.5 gen

How does it give data over IRST?

The same way it gives data with radar, through the datalink antenna.

When firing at a TWS targets, the missile doesn’t β€œsee” your radar target, only the information being fed it via the datalink.

Modern aircraft can build a track file from more sensors than just the radar and it will be fed all the same.

This radar locks onto chaff a lot too

yea

its the only pd radar in-game besides the apg59 based stuff that isnt true PD and still gets ground clutter and chaff i guess (there was a time were even good radars locked on to chaff but i guess its fixed for now)
