    You probably didn't realize but the kill at 1:58 was actually the aim 54 that got him (at least it seems that way), the contrail of the aim-7f (the one on top) disappears before reaching its target and its probably slowly gliding into the mig 23 and then the aim 54 came from underneath and gets the kill, i re-watched that part a few times and that's what it looks like

      F-14A isn’t so OP that nothing else can compete. It just makes the already bad top-tier jets worse, and the mediocre ones into bad ones. Things like the JA37, J35, and MiG-23MLD can still put up a fight. In the case of the JA37, in a dogfight, it’s about even and the 37 can usually come out on top if the F-14 pilot isn’t especially good at dogfighting. It’s a similar case with the Cfir, however it does appear to be slightly worse than the JA37, so F-14s can easily take them out, but they’ll have to work for it.

    You don’t have TWS set up properly and it’s Gaijins fault for not explaining you need certain settings to actually use it. In air battle settings turn off “cyclical radar targeting” and go to keybinds and set your horizontal and vertical radar keybinds (use arrow keys or a numpad for best result) now you have FULL control over your radar like a RIO would and you have to manually slew a target reticle over radar blips and all of a sudden the radar works perfectly

      Probably because the missiles aren't strapped to a flying bus. The phantoms were great aircraft but I feel like Gaijin should have added the F-4S Instead of the J as a counter to the MLD. Instead we are stuck in a cycling powercreep where 1 nation gets FOTM and it is either nerfed or counters are added for it in the following update.

Moreover you would be greatly handicapping yourself at top tier if you only used guns, so obviously he woulnd't do that.

  • @Wotplaya4
    @Wotplaya4 Před 2 lety +36

    The differences between PD (Pulse Doppler) and PDV (Pulse Doppler Velocity) mode are quite small, but there are some, mainly how the radar screen is shown. Here are some things I could find in the datamines and through game observation:
    PDV puts velocity on the y-axis and shows you the blind speeds. It has no IFF and no rangefinder (idk what that refers to however)
    PD puts distance on the y-axis and as result can not plot the blind speeds anymore. It does however have some benefits brought over from the pulse mode, such are IFF and rangefinder. From what I can gather, it's still searches by doppler shift.
    Some other cool AWG-9 data that you might want to know:
    AWG-9 PD mode can track targets with a velocity difference of 60 m/s to 1500 m/s, this is worse than the F-4J which can do from -150 m/s to 1500 m/s
    On PD-tracking velocity difference goes to 40-1500 m/s. I'm not entirely sure what signalwidth refers to but signalwidth and speed width are: 5 and 0 respectively and 2 and 0 when tracking.
    The F-4J for comparison has 2 and 65 and 2 and 90 when tracking. So the F-4J's radar is more prone to jumping target when there are more target with speed is in that speed width (from what I understand).
    EDIT: width refers to the speed width, meaning that the F-14 apparently is not prone to jumping lock to another target with similar speed (unless they perfectly matched speed, but that's highly unlikely).
    EDIT 2: So AWG-9 doppler speed width were not 0, might've have been old values, but they are 120 now, this nears SARH missile levels of speed width, and we know how much those like to jump targets... But its sidelobe sensitivity got lowered, so it's not as extreme if it's not in the main beam. For comparison, APG-59 (F-4J, Spey Phantoms) also got nerfed to a width of 105, but their sidelobe sensitivity is higher.

    • @_ace_defective_
      @_ace_defective_ Před 2 lety

      It's a little weird that the F-14's pulse doppler mode is worse than that of the F-4J's in that regard. In reality, could those settings be changed or was it fixed?
      Very cool information though, nice to know even if in practice I think I probably won't apply it lol

    • @Wotplaya4
      @Wotplaya4 Před 2 lety +1

      @@_ace_defective_ I think a developer clarified this was realistic. Something to do with the waveforms used, not quite sure anymore, made the AWG-9 not able to do rear aspect at all*.
      I'll try find the text and respond here if I can find it.
      *correction: it doesn't lock when there is negative closure rate, so when the distance is increasing. The APG-66J on the EJ kai has the same problem, just a little less.
      Also in reality you had a RIO. They would manipulate radar settings so that the radar in essence can adapt to certain situations. And negative closure rates aren't that super important to be able to lock anyways, not a big loss.

    Hey defyn I spent all day with the tomcat and have learned something pretty cool. The f14 TWS radar mode doesn’t require a lock to fire the Phoenix. This means when you see the box around the target without locking them the Phoenix can launch and won’t alert them on their rwr. I have had great success using the Phoenix this way as I can fire 4 of them and then swap to src pd radar for the sparrows. Hope this helps anyone figuring out the tomcat.

    3. you stay in twr
    4. you select target and shoot phoenix
    5. you switch target and shoot antoher
    6. and so on until you out of them
    7. stay in TWR for another 15sec.
    8. they wont work well below 10km you can use them also in normal lock mode but they dont turn so well
    you can use them in direct lock but that is pointless.
    Some concepts ppl need to understand:
    TWR does not track precisely. That is on purpose. Phoenix flies in general direction of the target until it goes to active mode. It does not need exact position of the target. You cant use TWR for sparrows. Please have more questions if needed.

    The two modes, between PDV and PD, are the same in that they are both Pulse Doppler. The difference they have is distance V. change in signal, where PD displays the targets position relative to the radar. In contrast PDV shows the change in distance, _and_ the speed of that change. The further up, on the PDV scope, the contact is the faster the change in distance, the closer to the filter the slower. If slow enough the contact will be filtered, shown by the clutter in the bottom of the PDV scope, as the radar assumes it's part of the environment in some way.

    the difference between PD and PDV is the way the targets are presented. PD shows the targets by range and PDV shows them by speed while both are using pulse doppler scanning. if the radar sees a target at 20km in PD mode, it will show it on screen at position that indicates its range from you. in PDV it will show it further or closer based on how fast its moving towards you (the fastest it is the further the marker will be on the radar scope) which is useful for spotting missiles.

    VSL = Vertical scan used usually with IR seekers, this allows the plane to achieve a lock about + - 90 degrees measured from aircraft nose in each direction vertically ... horizontally the scanning area is pretty narrow on this mode , you slave the seeker to the radar until it gets out of rails then it does the rest of the job by itself, used when you cannot pull into someone that is pulling hard and your plane is not able to nose inside its circle
    TWS = Track While Scan used usually with FOX 3's, it a radar mode that can lock people without giving them an warning that they have been locked, you can track multiple planes at the time with this scanning mode, the only RWR warning should he get is about 15s prior to impact when the missile is not slaved by your radar anymore and it goes known as "pitbull = missile switches one its own radar and does rest of the track" when missile goes pitbull you should be able also to break the lock as missiles switches on its own radar.

    Radar modes:
    PD = Pulse Doppler

    BST = Boresight (basically same as ACM on other planes)
    VSL = Vertical scan (another ACM mode like the MLD has)

    honestly the phoenix are quite op as not only it has active radar and you can fire far away its really dangerous if you fire more than 1 on 1 target and they most targets freak out and drain their speed, therefore the second one dose the kill. also i like to go high up as the phoenix goes faster and turns better. sometimes when you go high enough you can fire the phoenix and it wont show on the rwr as most aircraft have quite large blind spots on the rwr but i do agree with you with the aim 9f as they slap and medium and short range unlike the phoenix's which are only good for long range

    Where are we a year later?
    With the addition of the F-15 and the SU-27, do not even THINK about getting into a dogfight in the Tomcat. You will be... Essentially, melted. Instantly.
    But when you're not dogfighting? It's actually kind of fun. I like to climb to like mid space right at the beginning of the match so that I can sling two Phoenixes from space, and then immediately fly for the deck and flank the enemy. The F-14's radar being nerfed was absolutely criminal. It completely deleted our ability to lock an enemy from the rear aspect on the deck.
    Also, the 9H's at top tier are criminal. 9H's are literally 9G's. Imagine having 9G's as your best heatseeker at TOP TIER. No IRCCM or all aspect capability at top tier is just a gut punch. There are always flares in the air, so your missile will actually jump for flares fired by another aircraft.
    So what about the 7F's? They are honestly pretty good... But. There has been a lot of moments where my missile just... Gives up on life. Like, I have a strong radar lock, plus a strong tone, I fire, and my missile either blows itself up or starts turning erratically and completely misses my target despite having a strong radar lock for the duration of the missile's flight.
    Being able to rip your wings with them fully swept also sucks. But, the addition of a ballistics computer for aircraft is pretty amazing. Seriously helps out when you can scramble to have your radar in the right mode and actually getting a lock.
    So, where do I stand on the Tomcat? I wouldn't fly it right now. Top tier is absolutely unplayable because everyone except you has missiles with IRCCM. The Tomcat is even more of a boat than the fucking BV 238. Like, losing speed is a death sentence. Before you even know it, an R-73ER is shredding its way through your fuselage. Just wait for the higher BR'S like 13.0 to show up before thinking about having fun in the Tomcat. Where it sits as of now, (11.7) you are ALWAYS going straight to top tier. The sweats and tryhards will be out of your uptier range when we get above 12.7. So, just wait.

    • @Wotplaya4
      @Wotplaya4 Před 2 lety +4

      Even if the F-14 had E-2s (E-4s have been reported and the devs will look into it, btw), 7Fs are really not that much worse. I still think 7Fs are better because you can use them for 10km shots (and doing it very fast), E-2s will be much less effective if you don't use them in close headons as they take much longer to reach similar distances (that are not 2.8 seconds away).
      The difference is only 0.2 seconds in maneuvering time. Arguably the 7F might be better off in most cases. The 7F starts guiding right off the rail, the E-2 doesn't move at all until 0.8 second has passed, but it will pull 100% instantly once it does. The 7F only pulls 100% after 1 second, but could maneuver before that time, albeit a bit less, but at least it allows for some small corrections, which I think levels it out. Maybe the only thing the E-2 actually has a big advantage is on is the fast burntime of only 2.8 seconds, after which it will only lose speed, allowing it to pull tighter than the 7F (which will maintain speed)... I think the latter is the reason why many see the E-2 as more maneuverable, although I still think it's quite a major sacrifice not being able to use them at somewhat longer and safer ranges.

I'm getting locked up from 20km away flying at treetop level 90 seconds after taking off. Like 3 or 4 guys launch Phoenixs or 7Fs at you and you gotta defend like 6 incoming missiles. And with that much warning it isn't hard to defend them but it forces me into notching and turning and chaffing. Any plans for how I'd like to engage the enemy team goes out the window and I'm starting the fight from a defensive position.
