I noticed that AI F-14A/B cannot use Aim-54 recently.

 I have tried many different options to get them to use Phoenix but nothing seems to work. They will only engage with Aim-7 or Aim-9.

I have not seen this reported anywhere, I am interested to know if others are seeing the same thing.

Thanks,

It seems to be an issue with Heatblurs phoenix's in particular. If you try the old F14 AI model it launches just fine,

 

A similar bug existed where the AI wouldnt launch long range before the last build, but they would still launch.

If it helps, it seems like it's the missile's DLZ. Kinematically it's possible to get far past that, but the missile only reports it's capable of being in range at about 30NM.

This affects the HB phoenixes, and after some testing, it's appears to be an issue for the ED Phoenixes as well.

While on the topic of Phoenixes, I noticed that the R-33 also seems to have changed behaviour.

The engine cuts out at around 3000km/h. I believe it used to burn longer before.

I managed to get the AI heatblur F-14 engage with Phoenixes, it will attack if it is chasing a target. Head on it never shoots, but after turning around it fires phoenixes but they always lose track and miss.

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

After today's OB patch (2.7.10.19402), here are the following results of my testing:

  1. Eagle Dynamic's AIM-54C still will not engage beyond 20 NM. Kinematically, they are capable of going much, much further than 20 NM.
  2. Heatblur's AIM-54s of all stripes have corrected DLZs plus whatever guidance tweaks tjay were added. This means that the AI will now shoot targets at 65 NM.
