show me a photo or document of F14D with AIM-120 firing them that actually fired them in a test
Nah don’t reflect answer the question and you know I can show you more proof that a f14 did Amraam testing in 1985-1989 and that the apg71 was the radar that was supposed to make this possible witch can only be found in the f14D or a-3 test aircraft also witch nf14D were available at the time can you prove a f14A-65 had a apg71 radar or even the full digital suit to work with AMRAAMs because it high know the ONLY thing production vehicles needed was a software update. But fr answer the question do you have any documentation that proves that it was specifically a f14A-65 that tested it because In all documents 1985-1997 say f14 and dosent specify like yall do btw iirc those f14A-65 w/amraams photos were taken in 1981
Straightforward no.
I don’t know why it’s even mentioned.
Imagine i started replying without seeing what others have said below the post .
Sidegrade , with way better radar, IRST and 54C+ that will have to change to better than 54C in the future as the game inserts more complex things (for example if you make ECM in the future, C+ MUST have way better ECCM because it’s the feat of the missile, plus a lot of things are different between the missiles if you go to more accurate and complex level)…
It’s not sidegrade, it’s just the same plane but better . And as you may add more complex things to the game, it will be even better.
Same as i said with 54C and C+ , all you need is ECM and APG-71 will be a whole other class than AWG-9 for ECCM, add jamming and the difference will be abyssmal.
Especially when you throw money , you’d need some “future proof” quality… and comparing with 14B , the 14D is way more futureproof.
So even now without all that, the 14D is just better plane/platform and in the future it will be abyssmaly better.
That’s not what “sidegrade” means.
You won’t ever lose something in 14D to equalize with 14B. You’ll always have the better plane with 14D.
Not a sidegrade.

it literally fired it doesnt mean it guided it the D never even fired one so high doubts they did it the test later with a diffrerent plane and unless you can find documentation stating a F14D was used to test it which is not the case right now then it wont happen
also who knows what work was done to this airframe only telling thing would be its service catalogue which im not digging for as it was a test bed like its predecessors

Dude I’m not gonna waste my time with you debating this lowkey I have already in past don’t plan on doing it again
Also why would the f14D need to fire it if the usn already completed AMRAAMs testing with it and successfully passed it just didn’t enter service with the f14D
your not arguing with me this is why it hasnt been added this is the devs saying this stuff too the D is so export restricted until iran looses there last tomcat your not gonna ever know the actual capabilitys of the APG-71

Yea feels like everything he touches it doesnt really work eh ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Unfortunately they don’t give a shit. There will be changes made but chances are little. About the monetization, money is important to everyone first of all, then the progress. Thats my subjective opinion
Mr smin, thanks for taking the time to respond. As someone who bought the f-14D in the preorder pack, i would’ve bought it either way because i just like collecting f-14s. While i do understand why people are upset. I do wish they also got across how good some of these changes are. For example, the aim 9m. That was a greay change, and now a tech tree f14d, also a great change. And while no one is saying it isint. They also arent portraying how much it’s actually liked. Simply because their too focused on the negatives (as most people and things are today).
I do wish people got that part across, y’know actually expressed the good before or after the bad. In more than a “yea good job” side comment while trying to complain for hours.
To the people of this forum. I understand why your upset, but keep in mind showing Only frustration (even if you arent intending to) can and very much will dissuade from gajin implementing changes like this current situation in the future. Why add something the community was asking for, if they just flip the tables to be upset about something else. Reguardless of whether that view is good or not thats the kind of mindset you can force developers and others into. It’s not as though you loose what we’ve paid for, and new opportunities are being opened as time goes on. Try not to focus so much on the bad. Especially when you’ve already gotten your point across. Repeating it isint gonna help, it just becomes an echo chamber in which nothing gets done.
And to clarify by changes im referring to the addition of the tech tree f-14d, (reguardless of the controversial implementation of it)

Vote for the AIM-7P so both F-14Ds can use it. The AIM-7P shouldn’t be exclusive to the F/A-18s!!

faced a F-14D today in NE, i was in a F/A-18a and we were both doing carrier based sorties.
When you have a competent player using it good god theres no stopping it. 9M is tremendous and youre trapped multipathing to avoid a Phoenix missile.
I honestly felt more pressure facing it than i did the SU30MKK players, but that may be as i didnt expect to get hammered by a tomcat at low altitudes that much.
I get why the premium got this much backlash even more than “hur dur top gun” now. Its formiddible
Nah now you’re just overreacting aim54 are a lot more easily dodge able and your in a f/a-18 bruh just stop
