Waiting for the F-14D to come is pure fcking torture barely on the first “Major” update and gonna probably have to wait for months just to get something we should already have

I mean ik the gajin aircraft team has a lot to do but the F-14D should’ve have been worked on and added when the f/a-18 were added it has gotten 1000 votes on its suggestion forum post how is it not a highly requested plane

Are they trying to make us wait and then cash in by releasing it as a premium unit?
After all, $70 × 1000 is a sure thing
Pretty sure people would crash out if it did come out as a premium hopefully they release it as a tech tree or squadron vehicle and I don’t think it would make them money plus I’m pretty sure the 13.3 premium vehicle was gonna be the f16XL since it has AMRAAMs/Air to ground unless it comes out to be a event or battle pass

I agree, but these days snails seem to prioritize profit above all else, so you never know what they might do.

Ahhhhhh!!! another disapoint update again. No Super Tomcat again!!! (and no 9L for A model and 9M for B model too)

That’s because it’s an early model and not like from the 80’s with updated systems like ALR-67
The F-14A was testing -9L’s a year before the specified early configuration being the '77 SAC.

Welp, on a positive note. At least the F-14A/B can finally do the Highway to the Danger Zonemaxxing whilst taking off.
(having an aerial spawn start is crucial to make Phoenixes work well at the start of a match, though.)

A model never gets ALR-67 until 1998 btw
Are we getting 9Ms for the f14b yet?
I ask smin and he said dev didn’t have a plan to add it.

That sadly our Tomcat really need to retired like a real life then. Now F-14B was only gen 4 jet at 13.0 br that it didn’t recive an IRCCM missile.

The one of rare photo that F-14A has LANTERN pod but, no AN/ALR-67 upgrades.
F-14 equipped with the ALR-67 features a newly added blister on the left-side nose gear door, but this F-14A lacks it, instead having the antenna specific to the APR-27 and ALR-45.
BTW, the pilot who took this photo was CDR David “Bio” Baranek, who was Top Gun Instructor in mid 1980s and flown “MiG-28” in the movie.

The F-14 has actually gotten some noticable changes this update. And (I can’t believe I’m saying this) but mostly buffs! And pretty good ones at that!
First, the EGBU was added so we finally have a Laser/GPS bomb.
All LPRF radars were buffed to have much less clutter, and with the AWG-9 having the strongest power of them all we basically have the all aspect capability the AWG-9 came very close to in real life.
The F-14B RWR was buffed by 25% going from +/- 45 degrees to +/- 60 degrees in the vertical, meaning notching will be much easier and consistent.
Economy changes are Ws are around
Unfortunately Air spawns seem to have taken a slight nerf from around Mach 1 to 0.75. That effects the F-14A and B more than others.
