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

The F-14D can only use the AIM-7P in AIM-7MH mode

What’s your Source?

None of the sources presented shows that the F-14D can use Data link with the AIM-7P

The devs already have a source stating that it only uses AIM-7P in AIM-7MH mode

We already know that it used the AIM-7P so any sources saying that arw useless
And
We all ready know the F-14D provides data link as that is required for the Phoenixs and it has Link 16

But there is nothing i have seen that states that it can datalink the AIM-7P only the opposite

So if you don’t find anything proving that it ain’t getting it
