	===AIM-7 Sparrow===		===AIM-7 Sparrow===
	The AIM-7 Sparrow is an active-radar ~~guided~~ missile ~~for Air-to-Air employment~~. ~~This missile~~ requires ~~an active radar lock to a contact in order~~ to ~~guide itself for~~ impact. The ~~benefit~~ of ~~this missile is that it is able to lose trackoing guidance if~~ the ~~aircraft breaks the lock on a friendly contact~~, ~~as well as being able to be used in a mixed scenario~~.		The AIM-7 Sparrow is a semi-active-radar homing medium range air to air missile. As such, it requires guidance all the way to impact. The F 14 is equipped with 4 variants of the sparrow. The F, M, MH, and P.

	~~The maximum~~ range of the ~~Sparrow under optimal conditions as~~ the Phoenix ~~is ~25 nmi. The recommended distance~~, ~~however~~, is ~~roughly ~10 nmi~~.		Upwards of the MH, these missiles are capable of lofting to increase their range, while the F has a worse motor and seeker compared to the M. All of these missiles can be guided by PD-; and P-STT radar locks and if necessary by the AWG-9s flood mode. Unlike the Phoenix, the Sparrow only provides medium range capabilities, but is quite lethal at ranges up to 15nm while being less clunky to operate than the Phoenix.

As general purpose bombs, these are unguided, simple, "dumb" bombs that are simply dropped from the aircraft in a free fall style and detonate on impact or with a small delay.

	The DCS F-14 has 4 of these bombs available. The Mk.81 is the smallest of the series with 250 pounds. The Mk82 is double the weight, being a 500 pound class bomb. The Mk 83 doubles the load again to reach 1000 pounds per bomb, while the largest is the Mk84 with 2000 pounds of weight behind it. The RIO selects which bomb type is on the stores he selected with a rotating wheel on the armament panel on the left of his cockpit.		The DCS F-14 has 4 of these bombs available.

The Mk 83 doubles the load again to reach 1000 pounds per bomb, while the largest is the Mk84 with 2000 pounds of weight behind it. The RIO selects which bomb type is on the stores he selected with a rotating wheel on the armament panel on the left of his cockpit. This provides the computer with the necessary information to compute the impact point in all computer bombing modes, and fulfills the same function for the LANTIRN. The RIO then simply needs to select the stations on which the desired weapons hang, the ripple interval and the ripple quantity, to allow the pilot to employ the weapons.

	To deploy these weapons, the crew of the F-14 has two main computer aiming options. Firstly, it can use "Computer Pilot", a CCIP equivalent which uses radar rangefinding to deliver bombs on target with an aiming cross displayed on the HUD. The Pilot simply puts the target under the crosshair and depresses "stores release" to employ the selected weapon at that location. This mode is the default and can be accessed if the pilot simply puts the PDCP selector to "A/G". The RIO can, change the modes manually, should the crew so desire. The "Bombing mode selector knob" is used to either make sure that computer pilot is selected, or to swap to the alternative modes. Secondly, the Tomcat has a mode similar to "CCRP" know as "Computer target". If this mode is selected while the A/G mode is active, the pilots symbology will change to add a diamond to the bomb fall line which the pilot can move up and down by using the VSL HI and VSL LO switch on the sidewall. Then, once the diamond is over the target, he can press the rocker in to the PLM/Target designate position to fix the diamond in place. The AN/AWG-9s radar is then, similar to certain AJS-37 bombing modes slaved to the target point for rangefinding. After designating the target, the pilot simply needs to fly his flight path vector on the hud onto the bomb fall line and hold the stores release.
