How to use F-14A IRIAF Missles/Radar??

Hey everyone. I'm not new to War Thunder, I mostly play tanks but I have a fair amount of aircrafts, a few jets. I'm gunning for the event vehicle and can't quite understand the missles/radar. Which ones to use, how to use them, what radar to change to and why? People just seem to know what to do and I feel left in the dark, and I certainly want to learn about the F-14A and how to use it efficiently before I go into battle. Thanks!
