by showing that if this is the case, there will be example where there will be example of other AIM-120 platform like F-16 and F-15 able using AIM-7P. Egyptian F16s using AIM 7P is the result come out from the google search.

Idk about the Egyptian f16 platform but I was more thinking about the F/a-18C early w/ apg65/ayq9(v) sms ( I assume it has the ayq9(v)) I don’t understand how gajin gave it aim7p-2 but not to the f14D because what does that aircraft have that the f14D is missing for aim7P-2

It would be fun to have F16 that can only shoot AIM-7P2, but Egyptian F16 was an Dead End:
The EAF wishes to procure a unique version of the F-16 Block 50/52 that will be capable of firing the medium-range AIM-7 Sparrow radar-guided missiles that are currently in the EAF inventory.
…
In order for the new aircraft to fire AIM-7 Sparrow as requested, a modification of the avionics package is required.

During the last major update we received a lot of feedback from the community regarding the F-14D. As a result of your feedback, we’ll add a researchable variant of the F-14D to the US aviation tree. It’ll be a direct analogue in terms of load outs and performance to the premium variant. This new version will feature some alternative skins compared to the existing F-14D, but will place a researchable version of this iconic American carrier fighter in the US research tree too.

THIS. IS. NOT. DRILL.

We are getting a researchable F-14D in the next update. VICTORY!

While it’s great to see it getting added, I won’t be content until we get genuine upgrades. Without AIM-7Ps across the board or the Mk 60 motor for the AIM-54, it’s just not going to be viable at its BR. Hopefully, the community stays vocal so we actually get a proper version of it.

[Nostalgistic]

Of course, it was just a major battle we won.

However, I recommend lowering expectations regarding the AIM-120s and AIM-7P Block II for the F-14D. Instead, we should advocate for AIM-7M H-Build, AIM-7P Block I, and another AIM-54 with a different motor.

We can try to argue for AIM-95, AIM-7R, and perhaps ACIMD, but they all warrant as standalone suggestions. Sadly, these weapons were not directly integrated on the F-14D.

[PJ_2003_TH]

Hope both F-14D will get a 7P. This is the last thing that are the real weapon that it can carry. (I’m ok with no AMRAAM).

[erichhart]

otherwise we have 3 tomcats in 13.0… only being able to hit AFK players with those slow AIM-54s
