Missiles? Absolutely.
FM? Arguably.
But dont you dare saying the N001VE is anything comparable to western radars.
That thing is unfiltered ahh.

Gaijin’s treatment of the F-14s in general (IRIAF aside) has been abysmal, and they expect people to just lap up a premium with not even the armament it had in service?!

Give it 9M and 7P.
AIM-7P as well, but not AMRAAM; AMRAAMs were only fitted to a modified F-14A for testing

That’s what the maybe was for :P
Forgot about the P Sparrow
AIM-120A on the F-14D should at least be considered, especially since this thing is being sold as a premium. There is a NAVAIR Standard Aircraft Characteristics document for the F-14D Tomcat from July 1985. In the ordnance section it lists AMRAAM provisions for AIM-120A, and the store station table also shows AIM-120A AMRAAM carriage on stations 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.

This is a game far from realism, the AIM-120A would actually give it a reason to exist as a premium and make it more attractive to buy, not just nostalgia bait for fans. Pretending there is no basis for it does not really make sense when the document is right there. If this were a soviet aircraft with an “official sekrit document” showing a weapon provision, I highly doubt it would be dismissed this easily. But since it is a US aircraft, even documented capabilities somehow need to pass a much higher bar, while other nations often get much more generous interpretations.
I really do love the tomcats and this is really sad.

F-14D was in use up to 2006, so P sparrow is a must and I’m not sure why they didn’t think to add it.

They can’t even make correct 3D models and some textures.
There are still AN/ALR-45 antenna on gear door, engine instruments are analog like F-14A instead digital one, etc…

I’d prefer Gaijin actually fixing the AIM-54 and adding C+ to adding more napkin armaments.

I’m more confused why it still has normal C Phoenixes considering it literally can’t use them

You make it for SU30 pre to get free kill rigth. come on dont do that.
Too much work for Gaijin to model C+ I guess…
Because this is a game? Maybe?
the russian mains make it a way bigger deal than it is
short range radar paired with short range missiles
basically the total opposite of the f14 and in return they get a very good fast reacting high bore sight missile

Doesn’t excuse the absence of the C+ Phoenix when Gaijin goes out of their way to model multiple variants for certain other missiles (cough, R27, Sidewinder, or even Sparrow)

Look, the plane will always be a relatively low br aircraft because the AIM-54s will always be inferior to modern Fox-3s, the AIM-54C+ will be a copy of the other Phoenix missiles, just like the ones already in the game. This is a game. I’m not defending the plane’s current state, but it will always look out of place in the game because it doesn’t have enough space in its current compressed state
