Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

no, it never carried, test fired nor could physically operate aim120s. it has essentially what is a f15e radar, other avionic upgrades, and better cas

I mean its not a completely unreasonable point though if its like this the f14B and D should be swapped but its a bit late for that

like i dont give a shih about the tomcat but if this is the case gaijin’s standards really have dropped to new lows

no this is kinda the normal gaijin playbook, its no lower than normal and its still significantly above a lot of their competitors so they get away with it

Whats the question here?

Pretty sure Smin was not about F-14D but about F-16 triple racks being fictional.
I know it’s tempting to assume things but always go all the way up to understand what people are talking about, or you’ll often do stuff like this

if you look at how long people have been waiting for this, this is definitely worse than usual. usually they at least understand that if something is this anticipated, you dont lock it behind a paywall. take the bmpt for example

It’s literally just the F-14B with the correct cockpit and F-14D radar, literally no other differences.

Then, what’s the point of premium F-14D?

From your statement, F-14A with 1998 configuration is ways better for adding as premium.

what is the missile thats under that wing?

An AMRAAM on an experimentation modification F-14A?

wait wtf

this thing still has the old engines

yeah no nvm mb that man sent a bad pic

Yep, old F-14A

Could a bug report manager perhaps have a look at this bug report regarding the GBU - 53 explosive fill? This also applies to the SDB I and it would be good if this was looked at before the DEV, as it’s a simple fix.
AFX - 757 incorrect TNT equivalent

only an F-14A test fired an AMRAAM

F-14D had it in its Preliminary SAC, but it was later cancelled for intergration

its barely different to putting something like the mig25 or sturmtiger behind an event, plus the f14D we’re getting is barely even the one people were hoping/coping for, everyone wanted one with amraams or aim9m and aim7p, this isnt that, and as it is it is basically a very minor upgrade to the f14b

hey thats me :)

Its entirely possible it comes in a later update probably, but its gonna be pretty unlikely since F-14A+ doesn’t really fit in TT and we already had an F-14 event + premium now, and a TT F-14D would be probably too similar to the F-14B (considering loadouts)
^not an official statement, i dont know more than you guys

the least they could do is give it the up engine’d phoenix if it wont get amraams. would at least make it an actual upgrade
