Compared to the A it is and about a tonne over the B
So it’s literally impossible for it to retain the same flight performance with the same engine but heavier
a model had weakest thrust but was the lightest D is only 3500Lb than A model every variant is a 1000lb addition
the B model only gets a slightly better FM for worse Sensors and equipment
still higher TWR than F18 could dream BTW

A → 18189kg
B → 19000kg
D → 19933kg
That’s a 2000 pound increase
where talking about us jets we use american numbers
A = 38,188lb empty weight
B = 39,150lb empty weight
D= 41,780lb empty weight
F14D still maintains 1.02:1 TWR compared F14B 1:05 TWR while having worse sensors and equipment F14A is .91:1
F14D is fully digital and has IRST so it search with no warning intergrated ECM better RWR and better reliability
the crown jewel of the F14 family

It’s probably better in real life yeah. But WT is a game and in terms of WT it’s just a heavier B with some slight weapon upgrades
IRST and a better radar is simply not worth the br increase to fight the current to dogs in uptier city
its not a slight upgrade its a full upgrade you clearly havent played the AWG-9

It won’t magically kill the enemy team… it’s still hindered by mediocre weapons like the AIM-7 and AIM-54
AIM7P to M is a huge buff same with 9m to 9L aim54C eccm sealed is only slight upgrade
AIM 7P is no joke of a missile
AIM54 ingame is bad cause gaijin makes it that way why you using it anyway carry more sparrows waste of space AIM54
The AIM-7 is bad when you put it against all other FOX-3 singers when the F-14D gets placed at 13.3-13.7
Either way this isn’t the F-14 thread so let’s stop
hey smin these are both MG-151s except one is in russian tree whats going on
@Smin1080p_WT same round distance

F14 out for blood >:)
Dont worry its an F-15 they are fine with one wing…
I believe it can’t be fixed because its no longer an issue tied to the vehicle, but due to the fact that the friction values in game are exceptionally low globally, that’s why vehicles can’t climb well at all.
Wait for 2.47.0.71 to go live.
