Now the pilot can’t eject the center line fuel tank when it is empty?

Be nice if this could be integrated into the airframe as the Russians did with the Su-27 and maybe others? No doubt the room is just not there.

What difference in range vs. the Russian IR stuff would be interesting.

IIRC, the F14 had its IR system integrated into the airframe, and it had longer range than the radar for detection and tracking. By now, these should be very mature systems.
