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)

Well I would like to say first of all the F14A and F14B need their buffs… Not to mention ive done lots of research on this matter… (all info is either done by me or taken from trusted sources…) the F14B was able to carry aim9ms while the F14A couldve carried Aim-9ls while this subject is mostly towards the F14As unrealistic loadout not having its aim9ls when there are images pertaining to the aircraft carrying the aim9l yet this seems out dated since this topic hasnt been talked about in almost 7 months which is wild but I believe the F14A should gets its Aim9ls (i have linked an image showing the F14A’s 9l capablities) -link https://dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/f-14/161140_1.jpg -

Have they done so before 1977? As the F-14A is effectively being held to the specified configurations listed in the April 1977 edition of the F-14A Standard Aircraft Characteristics document.

They tested AIM-9Ls in China lake iirc

Hell at that point, you’ve also got the AIM-95 too, but well.

F-14A & AIM-95
F9F-8 AIM-95

Isn’t enough.

Ok yeah the improved Pk, eccm-chaff and beam aspect parts are massive. Especially improved PK as that’s not reflected ingame at all. Nice work

xD aye they will but man, I do wish the F14 was as good as it oculd be

The fact that it is an F-14A “early” suggests they were planning to add a “late” with better weapons later.

Now the F-14A has been significantly powercrept by 4 years of additions… so they should just convert the F-14A early to “F-14A” and give it some AIM-9Ls for balance. By extension… 14B should get 9Ms, too. I’m also in favor of giving the IRIAF R-73s even though they were not successfully integrated IRL since it is now 13.3 with no all-aspect Fox 2s and it has no HMCS.

Numerous other planes have had their A2A weaponry significantly buffed for balance since F-14A was introduced. Su-22s and T-2/F-1s off the top of my head.

No it means they can make excuses not to buff it 4 years later because its the “early variant”
