An F-14A tested it using the same radar as the F-14D. It’s proven to be compatible with the airframe and systems of the F-14D but the integration was cancelled at the last minute. IIRC it was just a software update needed to complete integration outside of actually equipping the missile to the F-14D. It’s clear that it was planned and as such Gaijin could add it with AIM-120 under the “planned equipment” rule as they have previously done with other aircraft.

And than what? It’s only a demo vehicle for anti drone equipment, and ugly too
give it to britain becuase…uh…uhm? idk
looks more like a QN506 with a BMP-2M turret
Bro I meant the famous mythical figure🥲
It was a joke.
I really hope they don’t added as a premium option making it like the f4S
This thing surprisingly did not drop to reddit. Or I missed.
the 2s6 sits at 10.7 so hey its not to far off
Devblog season this week?
Where this from
Thats one sexy Catalina.
And no this is not a Fantasy, its a real concept in the works.
So with some luck we get in a few years a new Catalina with Turboprobs, Hellfires etc.

Once again f14 was part of the aim120 program since the beginning and only the f14D(also the f14C but was cancelled) was meant to use aim120 only reason why the F14A tested them was because it was available also their no reason for them to re test launching them on the f14D when the airframes are practically the same are is no huge difference in them other than vain glove,ecm fairing and that one was analog and the other was digital also it is capable of carrying and launching them only thing that was needed was a software update to the radar so saying it’s historically incorrect is not the full truth
Wait this thing is still use?
No this is basicly a complete new Plane what just looks like the OG Catalina.
Similiar how the F-2 looks like a F-16 but isnt.
But this Catalina II gets Turboprobs, reinforced structure with modern components, modern Sensors and weapons like Hellfires etc.
Ahh okay
Hopefully they put some mini guns on the both sides
Very much hope so.
CM disclosure tomorrow would be generational, with dev blogs starting from Thursday/Friday.
Though the most probable outcome is CM post on Thursday and first devblog of the season on Friday.
