That’s good to know. Thanks for the information.
This is massive. Easily one of the most documented Navy fighters if fully declassified. I am itching to read and absorb the juicy information, but, too bad, DoD says it’s not ready yet lol.

Oh, by the way - this is what the F-14 ST21 would have looked like if the Tomcat program had continued.

Don’t forget that you can carry Phoenix’s on the outer pylons and sparrows on the inner pylons because on the D model the plane provides power to the missiles, allowing them to have internal cooling instead of needing the rails for cooling

yak 141 cant use r27R your point ? mig 29A cant use R27ER
The F-14D Manual was leaked somewhere on the forums. I don’t know where or why it’s so overhyped right now, but this has inspired me to fill out an MDR (Mandatory Declassification Review) request.
Best-case scenario, we get the full F-14D document + the redacted Chapters detailing everything about its weapons and avionics.

👀 Please do share the update on the status of the request here if you can.
Honestly, yeah, this would be ideal. I wish you the best of luck!

I might also try NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1A and 01-F14AAA-1.1 from the mid-to-late 1990s, assuming I don’t get too bored.
As far as I know, these manuals are still classified as DS:C. However, the A models from this period shouldn’t be nearly as difficult to implement or declassify as the F-14D, since they aren’t significantly different from the B models already available in the game.
Unlike the F-14D, which includes more advanced systems and sensitive technologies, the late F-14A shares much of its avionics, and weaponry with the F-14B.

(It can’t use them and would only have space for 2 but it would be a lot like Grimreaper’s video of the Big Stick vs Phoenix but in WT and we would almost return to the F14A days just after Danger Zone) ignore
first time i hear this, where did you get the idea that it’d only be able to carry two? the program was explicitly for a sparrow sized missile.

You mean a FOIA request?
Sorry, miss read it as AIM 174 (I’ve been very tired recently so I’m a bit dumb)
Nah, an FOIA is a bit different. Plus, you have to pay for one.
link me to the website for the mandatory one then been looking for SH-3H info
It’s not really a website. You either have to email them or send them a letter.
oh
