lol its the same airframe different technology the f14D has more capabilities than the f14A
Not to mention the fact that the NF-14A tested AMRAAMs for the F-14D till it became available in 1990 and was gonna be the only f14 to use AMRAAMs
“The remanufacture of the F-14A would include rewiring, overhaul, and service-life extension as well as the installation and integration of the new radar, avionics, and engine. The remanufactured F-14D would be identical in performance and configuration to a new-production aircraft.”
See, when I see somebody piss on an electric fence I say “I’m going to make extra sure I don’t do that” not “Damn I wish I had my own electric fence to piss on”
I think I’ve been fairly consistent in my opinions on the topic, I get that there are many conflicting opinions on the issue and plenty of double standards on the forums, but I would be grateful if you didn’t cast stones at me based on other peoples actions/ opinions. Although I’m sure I might have had contradicting opinions at some point, it’s not like I never change my mind or realise I was wrong. But you own source clearly states they where having lots of issues even trying to get the software to work and you posted an article showing an F-14A with an AIM-120
Lol buddy sure let me remind you this isn’t dcs this war thunder were they clearly allow leeway into the game
They even state they can fix those issues and even states to add the remaining capabilities of AMRAAMs not to mention they don’t specifically state the issues they were having with as AMRAAMs isn’t the only armament that was supposed to make the tomcat 21st century capable as for the NF-14 yall really like to skip the details that it’s the same airframe and that it was testing it for the f14D till it became available in 1990 not to mention it’s technically capability it still had just simply not the soft ware update witch shouldnt even be a factor for a game that doesn’t even do 100% realism prototypes and vehicles like the f102A w/aim 4F/g are a perfect example
It’s still plenty of proof that the f14D can get Aim-120A as experimental weapons it’s simply double standards/cherry picking that stoping it even though people have shown their interest in a f14D w/aim-120A
Answer what? Was there a question somewhere what to answer?
I allready told you how much cm’s those got
And having some 2y old video of msip, is clearly on date.
Perfect example of what I’m talking about yall really like to ignore the facts that the F14D does have the technical capability for AMRAAMs and it’s in the f14D manual and that the NF-14A tested them for the f14D and that I already proofed what a F14D(R) is and the airframe are the same
People looking at multi-million dollar arms contracts say that a lot, whether or not they actually deliver on those promises is are rather more spotty record
yeah and the Yak-3 is the same air frame as the Yak-15, that dose not make them equals, I don’t think you should use the “an F-14 airframe shot an AIM-120 therefore the F-14D should get it” as an argument in the exact same sentence as accusing me of ignoring details.
But look, if you can convince Gaijin it should have them, good for you, it’s not going to ruin my day or anything, I just don’t think going further down the road of “theoretical” load outs if going to improve things. Not like that ship hasn’t sailed, but throwing lines isn’t making port.
Their literally documents that back up what I’m saying f14A/B were never gonna use AMRAAMs and that the NF-14A tested AMRAAMs for the f14D so yes I can say that
Well, F14D actually was tested with 120’s
It could carry em, It could fire em etc etc. But adopting that fully on f14D’s was scrapped, for cost, having f15 allready using em, and F18 was on the way To replace tomcats.
So it could get em theroretically, but no operative F14 ever used em.
Technically, a fighter could potentially be adapted to use AMRAAM. That doesn’t mean it was actually integrated, tested, or fielded on the F-14D.
Again, intent isn’t the same as completed integration. A document describing a planned capability doesn’t prove that the integration was completed, or that an F-14D ever test-fired an AIM-120.
It is you simply refuse to believe it like the fact it has the technical capabilities and that fact that’s it’s in the f14D sms manual or what a F14D(R) even is
I’m refusing to believe assertions with with no supporting evidence…
And that document is for the upgrade of A/B to D standard, not that D standard includes AIM-120 integration.
You have “buck fever” on the Aim-120s my friend, you are reading every hint of upgrades as confirmation AIM-120 integration.
Dam dude its that hard for you to understand what a F-14D(R) and why the Nf-14A testing AMRAAMs for the f14D does include it and should be considered as experimental basis for it as Its not like I’m trying argue for aim95A w/vtas for the f14D as their was planned integration for it or even the different time that was being tested …that’s wild
It’s clearly going over your head that the f14A and f14D are the same airframe only difference being that one is Digital technology and analog technology
(specifically to mention engines,radar,sensors, and cock pit for those who well mention those differences as well)
