I dont know how radar or warnings are supposed to work in WT but in reality, if you kept the enemy locked until the missile hit they don't get a warning because the missile didnt go pitbull and used the planes tracking so warnings dont go off other than an enemy plane is tracking you because there is no active radar on the missile unless you break lock.

[@CyanidePenguin]

Drop to like 70 throttle while dumping 3-4 flare bursts

[@7ADR]

The thing with the TWS isn't a bug (at least not if you see it from a realistic stand point). TWS won't actually trigger your RWR as a radar lock because of the way the radar waves aren't actually fully focused on you. After the missile goes Pitbull (essentially when the on board radar takes over from the mothership) will the target get a RWR lock warning, this usually happens at very close ranges (5-10nm) and barely leaves you with any room to react.

[@MrRobschnieder]

The engines might be a little slower but at least on the dev server they were noticeably more fuel efficient than the F14A. F14A would burn through fuel in stage 3 after burner. F14-B also runs a few hundred of a degrees F cooler which isnt huge but helps for sure. WTF happened to the Vulcan gun noise... I also think the F14A will have higher success rate of landing hits with the 54-A just because the F14A runs into more wallet warriors in the Mig-23 and F4S. You can normally aim for newer players are you will see them flying straight at you across the middle of the battle field from the start where as the more experienced players dip to the side off the rip.

[@jimmygorecki6509]

I did the biggest double back when i heard you say python lol, ive been waiting for that missile forever

[@PattyLite263]

I came for the out of pocket commentary and was not disappointed.

[@wolfaja755]

The hidden benefits of the f14b that aren’t modeled in the game is that they aren’t as prone to compressor stalls. The f14a in heavy turns would compressor stall causing your turning ability to be completely trash where the f14b was designed in part to limit compressor stalling. This is an issue on a lot of Russian aircraft as well and the mirages. Would be cool if it was modeled in game because that would mean someone couldn’t just rely on holding the s key to turn better they would have to moderate their turns. It would make a lot of the mirages even worst than they are however, but that’s because they are just bad planes irl compared to other aircraft in a situation like what air rb puts you in. Also the flaps on the f14b are less prone to getting stuck in the down position during hard turns.

[@PineCone227_]

I feel like every DEFYN top/high tier video is just a recording of him slowly losing his mind

[@danaolsongaming]

Pretty sure the F-14B can outrate the F-16A, not the C block 25's but the A block 20's we have in game right now. You have to go full wing extension with full flaps but with the upgraded engines on the B it's possible to win the rate fight. And the F-14B should be able to outrate the Mig-29. Just stay out of the 1-circle with the Mig. Could be wrong though; depends on how they modeled the F-14B in War Thunder.

[@_YellovvJacket_]

Well, according to EM diagrams the F-14A on 50% internal fuel does ~15.5deg/s sustained at 5000 ft altitude, the F14B does 16.1 deg/s (both with 4 Sparrows and 4 Aim-9), and the F-16A (block 10) does just over 19 deg/s at 5k ft on 50% fuel + 2 Aim-9P3. In game the F14s can outrate the F16s if using SB controls + elevator trim if you ride the wing rip G load at ~850km/h, but in practice in an actual match its just not happening.

[@danaolsongaming]

@@_YellovvJacket_ I'd be interested in testing it out. Maybe I didn't word it correctly but I'm not trying to say it's guaranteed or easy to do. I'm saying it's possible. Especially since maintaining an optimal turn rate in the F-16A is pretty difficult in War Thunder.

[@artruisjoew5473]

its stupid that the 7M in game is identical to the 7F. they should implement the later block (circa 1987) of the 7M to show an improvement, especially since gaijin gave russia the 27ER which is a contemporary to the AMRAAMS. a later block 7M would have significantly improved rear aspect tracking and ground clutter rejection (you can no longer hide from it by flying super low) which would provide some much needed capability against the MiG29.

9:37 I am not sure that that is a bug, I might not be right but TWS lock won't give you the RWR warning itself rather the missile's radar will when it goes pitbull ( it locks you with its own radar), if I'm wrong feel free to correct me...

[@Baltic_Coffee]

from what i know you're right, they would still get an RWR ping for *aircraft that way has radar on you* but because the missile is using the aircraft radar the missile is undetectable from RWR until its pitbull.

[@evo3s75]

that is how TWS works, you don't hard lock someone so they don't get a RWR warning from the plane's radar. They do get one from the missile itself when it goes pitbull (the phase where the missile starts using it's own radar)

[@_YellovvJacket_]

That is true, but what the bug is is that the Phoenix if guided by TWS the entire time until impact will never go pitbull, meaning it will not use its own radar, and just slam into the target fully guided by the TWS that gives no RWR warning.

“TWS is bugged because of you keep lock they don’t get warning for it.” That’s actually not a bug. Firing a fox 3 (missile has its own radar) in TWS is supposed to mask the lock as just being seen. When the missile goes “pitbull” or in switches to its own radar for terminal guidance, the warning should play. Works with phoenix missiles and AMRAAMs in real life. However, if you meant that for them RWR is clean, yeah that’s probably a bug. Should at least ping with direction of search radar. Edit: someone told me that the bug is that the TWS lock never goes pitbull and therefore will slam into someone’s face without warning

[@_YellovvJacket_]
