Why F14A when there's an F14B?

Sounds like my comment stung a little...sorry didn't mean bug ya'll I'll buzz off. :D

Well, i replied to the "guns fight is the only one a tomcat can win" comment. Not a lot of "if" really, the problem is you see many guys flying only with jester, and getting into low level furballs wich is a mistake. When the F-14 it's flown as it should be flown, it's very difficult to defeat.

 

 

 

I disagree completely, but please elaborate a bit in how "we got used to an unreallistic setup and now it's fine overall" and i might change my mind.

 

It gets back to the magic I win button that the phoenix has been. But that conversation tends to get toxic fast.

Mainly cos its an argument that doesn't hold any water.

Oh i really honestly thaught you had same serious info, or you were a RL F-14 pilot/RIO or engineer to write with such authority, so i'd rather waited to listen to you.

 

But ike Fenrir said, it's an argument that doesn't hold any water...the only important thing that was wrong about AIM54 previous to 4th Nov, was that sometimes if you lost track in TWS previous to the missile going pitbull, it would sometimes track anyway. But missile would fail many times, it wasn't a "magic kill button" at all. There also was the TTI issue not showing accurate TTI...but that wasn't an advantage for the 14, actually the opposite and not an important one IMO, you had that track tilting when active so that's all you needed.

 

You say now it's ok overall? Very easy to refute; why was the F-14/Phoenix banned from servers then? Why so many bug reports since then like never before? A little list for you:

 

. AIM7 won't track in PD-STT

. AIM7 will loft even in PAL at ranges as close as 4nm

. AIM54 don't give RWR warning when launched by a human RIO in TWS (pitbull)

. AIM54 will eat the first chaff or go totally dumb

. TID tracks won't tilt when missile goes pítbull

 

There you have a small list from the 4th of november patch up to today, and those are just some of the known issues.

 

So we didn't get used to something not real, we got used to a great module that needed a little tweaking and now has been broken for MP specially, and i hope ED fixed ASAP

Because broken DoD procurement system. It was funny that everyone recognized the insufficiency of the TF-30. Every justification for cancelling the full F-14D procurement and replacing or upgrading the full fleet before Congress was justified by having enough to make do until NATF was available, which is just laughable in retrospect. The rest was the "peace dividend" kicking the can down the road so certain politicians could claim a surplus when it was all budgetary shenanigans.
