It might do something, maybe…

they are sidegrades at best
“there’s no difference”
“actually there’s a pretty substantial difference”
“they’re sidegrades”
are you genuinely just here to troll or something
the 54C+ with more thrust but less burn would be a pretty substantial upgrade over the 54C, especially when considering the 54A is already better than the C BECAUSE it has better acceleration.
100% Agreement just do it Gaijin its a
Win (Snail Sales increase) -
Win (Premium Players happy AIM-9M / AIM-7P / Aim-54+) -
Win (TT AIM-120A, everybody can enjoy the F-14D)
Situation
We need to spread this around the community.

Gajin do nothing its a
Win (Sales increase)
Super win (14D for funs only paid option, S rank sales)
MEGA win (14D overpowered tree version, HUGE SALES SSS+ RANK)
You missed F-14A with 1998 configuration :(
what have i gotta do with this

I’m a suggestion mod, I have just as much contact with the developers as you do. The only thing I do more is accept/reject suggestions.
you should’ve foreseen this and denied the F-14D suggestion, then. this was never going to be any different than this
im pretty much just a player with a title who accepts/rejects forum suggestions
i cannot tell if you are serious or not
take it how you will, i said what i said. the lack of communication shows gaijin clearly doesn’t intend to fix this horrible D.O.A plane, so whatever.
okay…
A) Suggestion was approved AND passed long before I was suggestion mod
B) The suggestion itself is valid. The reviewer had* no reason to deny it, and there is no reason to deny it now.
C) It is the developer’s discretion on how they want to model a vehicle. It is not down to us (the Suggestion Mods) or the original author (@Nostalgistic , who in this case is running a poll you can vote on about a future F-14D Tech Tree addition)
You’re misunderstanding the role of the Suggestion Moderators. They have no influence over what gets into the game or not nor in what form it gets in the game if it comes at all.
( Suggestions Covert Disclosure - April 2026 - The first and hopefully only one )
All they do is pass along the suggestions to the developers. There are suggestions passed to the developers since years back that are not implemented, and the opposite sometimes also happen, where they send a suggestion and then just a few weeks later a Devblog for that vehicle comes because the developers were already working on it even before the suggestion was sent.
My two cents on this are that for this price tag and significance of the vehicle, it should receive its best possible and most advanced loadout.
This current vehicle/offering is just disrespectful and a slap into the face of every player and the suggester.
The best version of an aircraft should never be a prem, especially one so popular as the F-14.
Proposition:
-Premium F-14D w/ AIM-7Ps,AIM-9M,AIM-54+.
-TT F-14D(R) with same loadout at same BR.
-Squadron F-14A-65-GR with access to AMRAAMs, historically accurate.
Or rename the F-14D (pack) to F-14D (early) and add a late one with the cool loadouts at a higher BR. If they wanna make the premium this boring copypaste, let them do it, but give us the unique one tech tree
What would be the 1998 configuration? As far as I can tell between what’s in the game (original model used in Top Gun and B being the mid-late 90’s upgraded version with bombs and all), and what I listed in that wall of a post, that covered every major variant, testing versions, and important upgrades (or at least ones that were already set up calling the in game tech tree plane the ‘early’ version of the F-14A).
