I use sidewinders all the time in the 14 (good or bad, you decide) so I definitely know how to use them and I definitely think something is a bit jank with them recently.

Most of my shots were rear aspect, as I do a lot of sneaking. All shots were at the very least in envelope, so yeah. I think Raphomet's comment proves this is a problem that isn't just luck. It's specific to the 14. Sidewinder 9M so yeah.

In the past couple weeks, I have not hit a singular sidewinder. All were spoofed by flares. Is this an issue or just me having asshat luck?

That's what I thought, thanks

According to various sources from here and other places, PH ACT is supposed to follow commands from the awg 9 until it sees something. In my experience, this is not the case. It launches, and points towards the general direction but never follows commands from the WCS, like a pulse lock. Thoughts?

ACLS brings you too low on ball and touches down too late 9/10 of the time. This makes for an interesting experience when bolting in case III conditions. ACLS used to be fine, but it's unreliable as hell now.

No offense but I think this update is more or less pointless. We got something that is nice, the F14A, but not something that is needed. For example, jester is unusable in combat right now. Constantly losing lock, spamming radar buttons, "NO CAN DO". Instead, we got new features for jester, not fixes. Another example would be the phoenix API. In fact, I believe the API has gotten worse recently. The missile just turns away last second before impact. Most players don't have the luxury of having a human rio to rely on, so these jester fixes are extremely important as are the phoenix, since the missile is one of the reasons people get the tomcat and without them you can't really do anything except BFM, in which most players will take something else like an F16. Again, sorry if it sounds like I'm being rude but it's just my thoughts.

Glideslope and localizer is off. Localizer isn't TOOO bad, but the glideslope is a guaranteed drink. Please tell me I'm not going insane.
