===AIM-9 Sidewinders on the F-14B Tomcat===
===AIM-9 Sidewinders on the F-14B Tomcat===


Guided missiles are now available for the Tomcat in Git. At the moment, only AIM-9s are functional.
Guided missiles are now available for the [[Grumman F-14 Tomcat|Grumman F-14B Tomcat]] in Git. At the moment, only AIM-9s are functional.
They lock on the nearest MP or AI target, like in the SEAM mode (Sidewinder Expanded Acquisition Mode) and they follow a constant angle trajectory. When used with Bombable script they have a quite certain effect on the Zeros. When used against an MP aircraft, you will only see the missile explosion and a message with the hit range can be displayed trough MP. The author, Xiii, would like to add this feature to the A-10 and maybe the f16 which both use the same nasal framework. But it may take a long-long time. (And don't forget to read the f-14b README.help prior to use the Sidewinders!)
