As in DCS 2.5.5.38140 Open Beta and DCS 2.5.5.35461 stable, the AIM-7M for the F-14B is faulty, behaving very poorly compared to the same missile on other planes.

The issue is known by Heatblur, as discussed here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=253004

This mod gives the F-14B the same AIM-7M as the F/A-18C and other planes in DCS using this missile.
The only modification I made was removing the LOFT function, which is not relevant in the Tomcat.

Two ways of installing the mod:

- With JSGME (recommended): the usual way.
- Manually: go to your \CoreMods\aircraft\F14\Entry folder, save a backup of the Weapons.lua and replace the original file with the one in the present archive.

**** Suits to offline playing but won't go through online integrity check on servers not using the mod ****
