The newly released patch has affected the notch and loft behaviour of the AIM-54, but it also has introduced some severe issues.
The activity of our F-14 Tomcat pilots in our squadron prompted us to create a “Quick Reference Kneeboard”. This pack contains checklists, useful data and graphics that help understand certain calculations.

This article should have been released a few weeks ago, along the related video about engaging jamming aircraft. I took a longer route instead, discussing the topic with the community first (on r/hoggit and elsewhere), and receiving lots of interesting comments.
