most of the cats in service where f14B models not D models the D model was very expensive to make hense only 37 D tomcats where made or upgraded from the B model in which in entirity only 727 tomcats where made
it would be way cooler if they added the f14 aim 152 a replacement for the aim54
I don’t see how quantity has anything to do with this. Ultimately the F-14D was the most advanced Tomcat variant and it deserves a place in the game. Since it had the ability to mount AIM-120 I think it’s only fair to give it this in-game as well
plus gaijin is highly unlikely going to be adding it as gaijin really does not like it for some reason
of course the regular f14D with aim7p aim54Eccm sealed and aim9m
and AIM-120
Yes tho still F-14D hold standard of features / improvements over F-14B. One of these changes were new digital radar and new avionics which essentially translates to new databus and software compatible with deployment of AIM-120
gaijin isnt going to do it just because it could mount it For example the fw190-f8 could mount X4 rusthal missiles wire guided missiles so could the me262 but gaijin has not added them as
even if it had the cability the f14 would get abused by and move to 13.7 which it would not be able to compete
I’m sorry to bring this up again, but the YAK-141 not only lacked the missiles it carries in game, but it also lacked all fire control systems. Despite this, Gaijin gave it all of the above.
I’d like to see X4 in-game, but I’m not sure why that hasn’t happened.
- Singular testbeds
- Balance reasons
because it was a german prototype and gaijin doesnt like german prototypes
they also used them on ju88 bombers with the most success there as you had to guide them by hand and fly the plane
it similiar to how the g91 missiles work it would wasd guidance
What? It would be perfectly fine at that BR. Jet had IRST/TISEO combo and the strongest MPRF radar until F-22 came out. It could also receive VTAS HMS which got tested successfully in operational units (similar to F-4J/F-4S) and AIM-9M which it operationally used.
the missiles that are notoriously difficult to use?
Early? There is no such thing as an early—you’re thinking of the F/A-18A.
eurofighters when added f16 jas39 will eat it alive
yes
another example bmp1 without the bmp1p mod
We have these jets in game right now and they do not eat my F-14B alive when I play it. You’ve got plenty of thrust and wing lift with flaps to comfortably fight most of your opponents
