F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

this thing for sure.

It’s only a small fix. They will copy and paste the same AIM-54C with its in-game values and give it a new name. That’s it.

They won’t give its ECCM functions, of course.

There it is! But surely, the navy would definitely use the AIM-7P on F-14D despite (according to Gaijin) the core feature of the 7P not being compatible with the F-14D…

Isn’t it relevant to AWACS and smt, not weapon stuffs?

Its show F-14D can DL together just like that DL AIM-120 in F-15. Its mean Two F-14D can operate together with DL.

Just like this.

The official announcement has already been updated and now includes “9M” in the description, so it’s almost—ALMOST—a Super Tomcat.

We’re still waiting for the AIM-7P and AIM-54C+, and then it will be a full-fledged SUPER Tomcat.

In an ideal world, the F-14A would now be equipped with the AIM-9L, which it definitely used in the real world :)

P.S.: Of course, it would be nice to see the TT version F-14D, not just the one hidden behind a paywall.

Its been a long my friends now its came true!!!

They got it done pretty quickly; the F-104G/S has been waiting over two years for the IRST/EEGS, which have already been “accepted.”

The F-104G/S suffer from having a very high BR relative to their combat capabilities, yet they don’t yet possess the full capabilities they actually had. EEGS and IRST would be a nice addition, and the funniest part is that the F-104S/G in the game have an IRST module modeled in, but well, two years isn’t enough time to “enable” it.

We have gone from “absolutely unexpected worse case scenario” to “oh god they did the bare minimum this is worse case scenario”

Thanks for adding the Aim-9M at least. I’ll give credit there.

Bug report for the F-14D’s HUD.

[DEV] F-14D Has Wrong HUD

Any more sources on the modern HUD symbology would be greatly appreciated.

So we get a primary source that says the F-14 used 7ps and it gets denied cause of a belief?

The f14d is capable of link 16 no?

Has this been reported already? I can’t seem to find it if has. Seems like the best proof of full 7p usability
Maybe we can ask @Gunjob if it’s this is good to go
