Pre-Order: F-14D Super Tomcat

I would guess something about holding my breath on that issue and my imminent mortality if I do.

Yes, indeed. I just think that beating them over the head when they do back track an try to course correct sends the wrong message.
I think they put themselves in a bad position, but are making a good move in correcting it.
Yes some people will be upset, that’s inevitable, I just hope they learn to not make the same wrong turn, rather then learning to not correct it in the future.

The response in this screenshot is with regards to console transfers. For which he is part of that dev team.

So is that it? I appreciate the clarification on that, but the question of responsibility still stands.

I too would have preferred the TT F-14D to launch alongside the premium, but at the same time I think we should be happy that we’re getting our wish fulfilled.

Nobody was forced to buy anything. In fact the F-14D is my favorite aircraft IRL and I held off on buying it out of principle because I thought it should be TT. In fact, now I may even pick it up next sale because of the premium bonuses and the show of good will.

This move was by popular demand and we shouldn’t give the snail flak for listening, it would be another of these “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”

While we’re at it, @Smin1080p_WT it would certainly be a nice change for the whole dev team, not just you specifically, to stop referring to a lot of these premiums as “sidegrades” and instead as upgrades ( which clearly is what is being sold).
Why? The F-14D, when announced, was still an objective upgrade over the tech tree F-14B and examples like these extend further to things like the F-4S and F-4J Phantom where the F-4S is also an objectively better performing aircraft. Those are just two examples, there are many more.
So, could these simple objective mistakes be corrected or is lying ( in a lot of people’s eyes, mine included) going to keep being a reality?

No but technically I was tricked into believing their wouldn’t be a tech tree version and some of us expected it to be a f14D(r) with different armaments at least at a different br

They’re being damned not because they added the F-14D to the tech tree, they’re being damned because they could’ve done it like the JA37Di scenario where a TT AND premium were launched at the same time, they simply chose not to, screwed with people who think they are getting an exclusive, and now they aren’t.

This is toxic thing to say

I find it wild people trying to say people who didn’t buy the f14D are being award now even though they couldn’t give a full review of the plane since they don’t own it and only say what the people who do own it and those who argue about the way the TT f14D is being implemented who bought the F14D are toxic because they wanted/expected a different TT F14D variant that wouldn’t devalue their purchase btw you practically already admitted to the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” when you said because you didnt buy till they did what you wanted it’s not really a show of good will like you think it is

Theirs a suggestion form open since the day the premiums f14D got introduced saying the f14D(r) should be in the tech tree and a poll that it should have aim120A or even at least aim7p and has 300-360 votes

Gaijin usually doesn’t adhere to community made polls like that, its a fools errand to say that they must.

It a suggestion topic that gajin accepted so it does count

I’m quite curious, when he said these words and made these promises, what were the other administrators or moderators in your community doing? Why did they allow his promises to circulate within the community?

We were all providing the same answers?

Again, these were the plans and facts of the time in the context of the previous major update. In which there were no plans for a TT F-14D.

So this one’s ignored. how convenient that the biggest of problems just get swept under the rug.

It might be a good idea to have distinctions between developers then, right now players will see the “developer” tag and assume that X person is part of the game dev team.

Some distinction between groups of developers would mean players have a clearer idea of what kind of role the person they are talking to has.

Just make ts f14d late with amraams

This has already been rejected a gazillion times because no F-14D ever tested AMRAAMs. The testbed was a F-14A so even though it would theoretically have only taken a software update to integrate the 120 to the F-14D, it’s a no for them

Bruh at this point people best take out documents to prove it was the f14A-65 that tested it in 1995-2000 and not a more believable NF14B(U) or Nf14D last time I checked All of them point to the f14D is the only one supposed to only receive AMRAAMs. The only thing we know f14A-65 was to confirm if the f14 airframe can drop/fire AMRAAMs for the f14C than the f14D
