F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

Im pretty sure we’re going into Rank 9 soon, which is Gen 4.5, the F-14D would fit right in. That’s what I meant.

We already heavy gen4.5+

Most definetly not. Were still very much 4th gen

Well
Typhoon is considered as 4.5 gen, Su-30SM too. Pretty sure that rafale too

Outdated loadouts, no ecw, underperfoming radars, lack of sensor integration We’re really not into 4.5 gen territory.

The Typhoon/Rafale was added too early and the Su-30 I’m pretty sure it’s 4+ not 4.5.

4.5 would be stuff like F-16V, SU-35, F-14D, F-15EX, Aim-120C, ASRAAM, Etc…

Did they just forget that the F-14B has the TCS?

F-14 report is live

I’ll report it, also will produce a companion for the Kurnass 2000, simply for the possibly that a Later F-4E with the TISEO gets added. but it will be a lot more circuitous.

K-2000 report is up

I believe this has been an ignored topic for awhile. @MythicPi made a bug report on it almost 3 years ago. Hopefully, your report doesn’t get Gaijin’d. Ask Mythic for any info he might have to add to the report!

The F-14s radar is getting buffed this patch. They’re fixing the TWS swapping and making the PD harder to chaff (even rear aspect). Huge changes.

I think they slacked so long on the TCS bug report i had originally made that it disapeared along with the old forums.

Well with equivalent systems being added, hopefully it goes through (there’s zero excuses now)

do we have anything on F14B Radar having data link

The F-14B already has DL ingame

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/HBMlWgBKFi6K
according to gaijin no

I looked into it and the F-14B only has personal DL, not Link 16 DL. Unfortunately, they’re right. The only functionality it would get from the Aim-7P would be IOG. That’s why the F-14D will be such a great upgrade.

shouldnt TSO do the same?

These recent TCS reports gave me the motivation to post bug reports that I had neglected for a while because I just couldn’t be bothered.

F-14B Tomcat TCS outputs shouldn’t be full color
