Pre-Order: F-14D Super Tomcat

Being a premium is fine - i guess - but surely it could get some AIM-9Ms and AIM-7Ps at the very least, not to mention the AIM-95.

They did the bad thing now. Its show bias when Su-30 came you get every thing, but for F-14 no only 9L and 7m. so bias.

What’s the AIM-95?

why would it? the brs tend do fluctuate widely ask the bmpt

It honestly feels predatory, almost like a trap for new players, its really dissapointing

Y’all coulda made the F-14A w/ AMRAAMs the premium and given us the F-14D in the tech tree, but noooo, you had to steal yet another production aircraft from the US and lock it behind a paywall like the A-1H and F-4S :/

Not to mention, pre-order-exclusive camos again… Y’all gotta stop this FOMO nonsense and let us buy them with GE at some point, it’s ridiculous the amount of historical content locked behind pre-orders (cough cough, Free French Naval Ensign)…

And that’s not even mentioning the massive, glaring loadout issues.

i dont know amraam f14d behind a paywall would almost be worse

A single modified F-14A was the only one that ever got anywhere near mounting AMRAAMs. 14D should have 54C+s, 7Ps, and 9Ms… And of course, performance of the AIM-54 in general should be heavily buffed given the wealth of bug reports regarding it.

14A with AMRAAMs would be balanced by its terrible engines and avionics.

so f14a with modifications can and did carry amraams but the f14D with a f15e based radar cannot?

Correct, it was abandoned due to cost and purpose.

It can, it just never did, the F14D program never got far since it was already considered outdated by time it even started

Correct, 14D never had the software update required. Technically possible I guess, but I’d rather Gaijin unbugger the AIM-54 and add the C+ variant so we can have a Phoenix slinger with a good radar for once rather than have yet another boring AMRAAM carrier in TT.

An F-14D stripped of it main air-to-air complement as a blatant cash grab because the US doesn’t have enough premium jets already. Great job Gaijin.
If you wanted a premium F-14 why not the F-14A Late with TF30-P-414As, why even specify “Early” if a “Late” version wasn’t planned?
Or the F-14B(U) or F-14D(R) or F-14B (F401) or even F-14A+ or the F-14A AMRAAM testbed if a higher BR F-14 was really necessary.

Honestly the F-14D might end up 13.3, doubt theyll leave it at the same BR as the F-14B

the better low speed performance and radar of the f14D will make up for it/s

Even though Gaijin’s messed-up way of modeling later mechanical radars will most likely leave it middling at best…

Yes, the problem is balance; the reason people want it to have some more advance weapons is because it unbalanced at that BR.

oh yeah, and Tom Cruise is flying it so it’s balanced /s
