Seems F-14B(U) shares same VDI/VDIG-R symbols with F-14D.

GBU-24E/B abilities too, would be nice to actually have an EGBU in the US roster for once.

Bombs

Should have that bomb on the B as well per the navy’s press.

A new guidance and control unit has been modified to incorporate GPS electronics, GPS antenna, IMU and software for precision GPS/INS guidance. This F-14B upgrade and the F-14D aircraft will be able to employ the new GBU-24E/B once the aircraft software, developed and tested at Point Mugu, is fielded. This is a significant warfighting enhancement that will enable the F-14 to attack targets in all weather conditions with a precision guided munition.

Yeah this photo is actually B(U) because you can see ECM blisters at wings glove section, which had F-14A and F-14B.

Also, afaik A model never had any GPS upgrades entire the service.

Yep, and the B we have in game has to be a B(U) due to a myriad of things, most notably the fact it can already carry JDAMs.

Really no reason as to why it should be carrying standard GBU-24s right now.

hey guys, getting close to the A model soon, I really, really want to fly the F14, not only is it beautiful but it also seems a blast to play, is it still good to fly in current matchmaker or should I skip it because its now outclassed and relegated to the sidelines? Thank you!

Pretty sure there’s better aircraft at the same BR, but that shouldn’t stop you. The F-16A OCU is considered the worst 13.7 by a fair amount of people but it is a blast to play!

Shame, I know the F18A is a much better pick (mostly because of BR compression lets not kid ourselves, it shouldnt be 12,3), I still want to fly it even though its past its prime… Maybe one day a BR spread increase will make it shine again, who knows.

Decompression would fix so many problems for so many aircraft. Too many aircraft (and ground vehicles by extension) are in a weird limbo. Put them down they’re OP, keep them where it is and it’s outmatched

I had that exact experience with the F80A yesterday, several games against props, not a single thing those poor planes could do against me, even if I missed I could just extend away and in 20 seconds I’m gaining a kilometer of alt and am 3 kms away.

However you raise the BR and suddenly the F80A is fighting F2h2’s, Barougans, Sabres and migs.

Is the f-14 notch gate wider or smaller than the f-4j one?

Nor guns either

Probably saving it for an f-14d. Although, why even add f-14d atp, no hmd, stuck with phoenix with 120a seekerhead, although mprf will be nice ig. Probably gaijin will shove it at 13.3 and call it a day. Unless they give phoenixes bank to turn, it’s doa. And the loft code on the phoenix is horrendous

I just waiting for the A late model with 9M,7P and the D model with 120A. It would be great to see 2 iconic
Tomcat model in the game. Just like Draken that have a lot of variat in game.

I’ve tested the 360 time and trust me the Tomcat can preform :) With sim controls. When they added that auto-flap feature in turns it made it harder but not impossible

what plane cant do this lmao

F-104 cant
