And the placeholder HUD

We haven’t even gotten the digital engine gauges, yet the F-14B does?

That’s what I said yes, the F-14B got them with Heavy Cavalry, no B(U) cockpit yet either, but it ‘has’ been accepted from a report made on it

no, they are working in the F-14B

the only issue is that they the indicators are pink for some reason

here with less throttle

They are, I was only pointing out that they were made digital on the F-14B, but not on the F-14D.

ohhh

that is what you mean

Yeahh man, odd isn’t it?

well if you look closely in the pictures i sent
you can see that it isnt really digital in the F-14B, but rather the analog one where gaijin put some lines ontop of it

the top bar there is smaller than the ones below it

Another place holder, I hope.

It solved a previous issue, still ongoing with the rest of the Tomcats, atleast for that specific gauge cluster

There is no way they buffed the phoenix missiles im tweaking. I launched them and they lost their speed halfway like WHAT ? How is this a buff

the aim54 bleeds speed like crazy even before the buff and if I’m not wrong the buff focuses more on maneuverability not speed

Iirc the aim54 usual top speed would be 3.0-3.8 Mach than would bleed speed the moment it try’s to turn this does depend on range aswell I never seen it actually reach it top speed of Mach and if I’m not wrong the f14 can’t reach it top speed either at altitude either

Thats sad. But can they bring it down to 12.7 ? So it can compete my average game with the f14D is ok if i use my Aim9Ms and thats like 3 kills plus phoenix kill or somtimes if i get into a dogfight i get around 4 kills. But thats IF the game goes good

But also i might just stick to the F14A at 12.7 it can do a good job and for the iranian f14 well that is self-explanatory

I don’t think so the f14A is 12.7 and we want decompression not more compression also we should fight for aim-7p-2 and for me personally one of them to get aim-120A

Personally I use 2-3 aim9m/bol , 3-4 aim7 and 2 aim54s and could get 2-4 kills potentially

I still haven’t fully grinded yet i can only use two phoenix missiles and a full set of AIM7 sparrows.
Also on the aim7p gajin said that it can carry it but it will not have data link and for the Aim 120A i dont think they will add it even tho the navy tested and it worked but it was expensive to implemented so they will go off with that.

And also the phoenix+C engine should use the Mk47 model and they are not implementing that and for what reason i dont know maybe out of laziness.

That’s all you need trust me start upgrading the FM performance and get the bol of you haven’t already

They have no evidence for that well tbh their not much to go off on aswell as anything about the apg71 is harder to find than the apg65

I’m keep fighting for it though maybe one day their be enough people to reconsider it especially with the recent addition of the f102A w/aim-g/f
