Back on the track to the topic for the update however, is the f14d going to get its main reason for existing the ew package?
Yes and fix everything thats modeled incorrectly, exactly. And i hope they fix the Challengers too
I have read a lot actually about the aim120 and f-14 matter a fact I made a forums page for it and last time I checked the only thing the f14D need was a software update nothing about needing rails or “more” so if you got any source provided that it need more than a software update then pls provide it

Im also hoping that they give us amraams for it since it did get em
Because it needed a software update so theirs no point on putting amraam on a f14D it would be point less also once again how do you know it need new pylons for it if aim120 were designed to fit in sparrow pylons
n’t
Literaly just provided a screenshot mate
Copy and paste reply blah blah blah:
Something about wires and software not upgraded on F-14D something something so no bueno.
Oh i know, it just that i know there will be the same people here replying to you on why F-14D can’t use AMRAAM lol

This is from DCS. It doesn’t mean anything.

The F-14D does not carry the AIM-9X and it was retired way before the AIM-174 or AMBER rack became a thing. It also never carried any AIM-120 and only one F-14A was retrofitted to test it. The game has enough fictional vehicles as is and we really do not need more.
The F-14D should only get the AIM-9M, AIM-7P and AIM-54A/C. The F-14B should also receive the AIM-9M (but cannot utilize the datalink of the AIM-7P so it doesn’t need it)

Yes, with actual documented plans for the AIM-120A integration (canceled), instead of a screenshot from the DCS forum.
In the end, it’s up to them to include it or not.
I did spam a lot about it being nerfed with DM43 instead of having DM53 until it got it!
And ever since I learned it should have spall liners but doesn’t, about that, hahahah.

F14D with AMRAAMs isn’t at all fictional it was completed until funding reduced apg71 capabilities and then later when they where choosing upgrades for the f14D they choose CAS capabilities over more air to air capability also supposedly aim9x can work on some aircraft in a reduced capability
