I don’t, it’s comparable to su30mkk/su30mk2 and some other arh plane Carrying that are at 13.3 hell if the f16A adf also used aim9m in irl I see it still being 13.3 if it every got them in irl and in game
I honestly don’t have anything against f18 their cool just how I see it they replaced the a6 more than they did the f14 I think AMRAAMs and other missiles replaced the f14. I wish the f14D continued so we could’ve also have seen st-21 and asf-14
It could’ve been but like I said the funding went to lantirn. F14 had been testing the amraam since it started I believe in a video with Dale Snodgrass when he went to see if he could get funding to implement lantirn to f14’s he went to if I remember right was the dod and talked to one of them to convince them to give funding for the lantirn and they said their wasn’t enough funding but that they were about to spend that funding to fund the amraam to the f14 but he convinced then that the lantirn was better. Also you won’t find testing weapons in the f14 manuals but I found other type of documentation
I never seen gajin be interested in giving the f14D AMRAAMs I seen people of the community but not gajin also AMRAAMs on f14 is historical as it heavily tested just didn’t end up in service with them
Yup, F-14s are cool. Seeing the upgrade of the F-14D would be hype.
Because tested weapon isn’t serviced weapon…
It is clear that Navy wanted to add AIM-120 into F-14D
Many documents from the 80s could prove it
And also clear that F-14D didn’t get AIM-120 at the final.
In Gaijin’s standard, maybe adding AIM-120 wouldn’t be a problem.
Seems it is only me who wants to see F-14D on service loadout…
Just like how Gaijin went with the F-15E’s engine
Probably Gaijin will end up adding AIM-120
Because they want to do a lazy job, while the community wants it
Giving F-14D AIM-120 will be drastically easier than
Fix AIM-54 and decompressing.
Worse than just that, to my knowledge the F-14B and IRIAF are the only 2 jets at 13.0 or above without IRCCM missiles. And I think the A is the only 12.7 without even all-aspects (I don’t know every jet by heart so oops if I’m wrong there).
Nuts how Gaijin has let this go on for so long.
For the same reason why the many MiG-29 doesn’t have the R-73, and the new F-16 BLK5 and the new Swedish F-16A at 12.7 in SB while US F-16A and Netz have 12.3
this is not true nothing with good radar like APG 71 which is more than equal to the MSIP IIs radar with 8 ammarams would be lower than it would never happen the F14D would be better than the SU30 premiums by a long shot it would be 13.7
and the 14D has extremely similar if not better performance than the F15C MSIP FM wise
F14D would be far better suited with 9M and 7P at 13.0
