Pre-Order: F-14D Super Tomcat

it should i dont see why it wouldnt while we have zero useble documents to give it AIM-7Ps right now due to the F14Ds manual being export restricted it can as far as i know

Not really but the AIM 7P2s would be a lot better for 13.0

I find F-14B doing fine with full AIM-54C loadout.

the radar makes the D infinitely better due to its radar being a lot stronger in basically everyway

Su-39 still needs its R-27s

Okay cool but that’s a completely different discussion?

True, but people saying X vehicles needs “this weapon” on newer stuff is just non sense, when things like the Su-39 have been around for awhile now and missing weapons it should have

You’re talking about the Su-39, which is a decent strike aircraft that sits comfortably at 11.3 with the missiles it currently gets, so that’s a pretty weak argument.

The F-14D, on the other hand, is a half-baked $80 premium that they were originally planning to release with AIM-9Ls. You’re using a poor example here because the Su-39 is already very capable in both Ground RB and Air RB, and giving it R-27s would be completely unnecessary since that would inevitably push its BR higher.

Next time, use the F-4J (UK) as an example instead. That aircraft is in a really bad state and hasn’t received a single meaningful buff since its release back in 2022.

It’s been proven multiple times in the bug reports that it can, mate. ☠️

I think its over now. Now was a SU-30 prime time and this game are not fun anymore. I think US TT will not get anyting good and if it will be a premuim game now. Im out now glad to see you gays doing well.

Not if they finally implement toggle modifications that affect the battle rating

No it wasnt. All that was proven is carrying capability.

Can you please pull up the sources for me?

It might be 12.0 at worst, oh no. What a shame. I’d much rather have it be 12.0 and have some better forward stand off capability over the Vikhir

11.7 or 12.0 in grb as well given its already on edge of raise thanks to having kh25mpu which standart su25t doesnt have. Are you sure about this deal?

They could do this with many vehicles but instead they just spawn copies which count as entirely new vehicles.

They can’t because it’s export restricted but either way even those source dosent deny aim7p-2 all it really tells us is that
“The AIM-7P incorporated a new computer processor, several Sea Sparrow software changes and a fuzing change. All of these changes are transparent to all F-14 aircraft. Designating the weapon as an AIM-7M H-build will permit use of all AIM-7M H-build enhanced launch modes in the AIM-7P. The functionality in the weapon is identical between the AIM-7M H-build and AIM-7P.”
In 3-22.4 2004 in the Change Overview page it also does mention “Authorize AIM-7P” And in the 3-22.5 2005 it does mention “(block 1 and 2)”under aim7p

I don’t think the quote is saying the f14 can’t use aim7P-2 or else it would just get straight to the point and say aim7p-2 isn’t compatible with the f14
