Sadly, I don’t think the F401s got any further than just being developmental testbeds on the original F-14B. The reliability was bad enough that the F-14B program as a whole was pretty much put on hold, with the later F-14C being cancelled.
Don’t get me wrong, an F401-powered Tomcat would be kickass to see, but I just can’t see Gaijin doing it (same for other airframes that served as engine testbeds, such as the F-16/101)
Would be a fine sqaudrona as it was a f14 that flew
It was, yes, but that could also mean the F-16/101 could be added (a very similar situation, fully weaponized early F-16 FSD airframe fitted with the GE F101 DFE).
In other words, I’d be fine with the F401 powered Tomcat, as long as we also got the F-16/101
It can be foldered even if the next plane is lower BR, we have stuff like that already.
yeah sounds fine im just suggesting it because a sqaudron tomcat wouuld be cool so people dont need to grind for it BUT BIG BUT F14D as sqaurdron IS A BIG NO as its the best f14 it should be a tech tree as giving everyone it would be cancerous
F-14D needs be a premium vehicle, is much more better playing with premium aircraft because it’s give more money and RP
No need for that, there are plenty of other jets which can be 13.3 premium, for example some F-16 Block which is old but not that old
Best F-14 should not be a premium
So does premium time and no the f14D shouldn’t be locked behind a pay wall at most It should be a squadron vehicle or preferably tech tree. not a event vehicle/battle pass or premium vehicle
