Every F-14 variant has DFCS in later service, including A model
The F-14B and F-14D have the same engine thrust the dev stream was just wrong
Did we will have TT variant?
For now - no)
[Cry]
I didn’t talk about engine thrust being more on 14D. I’m saying the 14D should be heavier but the F110 engines are powerful enough that you shouldn’t notice the difference on first sight.
About the dev stream , yes they were wrong, fortunately.
Yeah the D didn’t have the cooling systems for the AIM-54A and C it could only use the AIM-54C+
I guess it’s time for someone to think and prove at least some better weaponry is needed (physically, cuz i cant cool my missile by tranferring my thoughts about it in noosphere) cuz my main issue is lack of 54C+ on a thing. If it would be there probably i would even buy it for like 5000 RUB, but now it looks like a Su-30 food without its even basic armament (taking into account the low acceleration on AIM-54 as a whole, I guess, better ECCM capabilities would be a fair trade against much faster missiles at least).
If they had given the AIM-9M and the AIM-7P to the F-14D, I would have bought it instantly. But since that’s not the case, I won’t be buying it. Considering how much Gaijin loves money, they could be making way more if they just gave the F-14D the missiles it’s actually supposed to carry…

I mean it’s the bare minimum cuz it’s not even a balance factor, F-14D couldn’t use earlier phoenixes at all, so it’s more about paper v reality at the point of adding 54C+
exactly it was never about realism or accuracy
like fr why dont they want my Money??
If they give it the Aim-9M and Aim-7P i buy it
The AI strikes back lmao
I mean it’s true but the main issue imo with a lot of recent packs that gaijin just makes that they sell less just by doing some promotion and balancing shenanigans with vehicles added. IMO 120s on even 13.7 F-14 would be an instant buy for many people. I mean it’s up to gaijin but like this thread may be a good feedback and an example for the future additions.
814 messages in this thread and Gaijin is turning a blind eye.
Wanted to say that it looks like logs attached to it, then I zoomed…
Bug reports regarding both AIM-9M and AIM-7P implementation have been closed as “not a bug”, with the stated reasoning of… Drumroll please…
“Currently, this is not a bug. Developers are decided to implement the F-14D’s armament identically the F-14B.”
What?! Why not just make a premium F-14B (Upgrade) instead of absolutely murdering the F-14D to fit it into the same BR as the F-14B?! Or hell, just pull an F-4EJ ADTW and make the prem F-14 a premium version of B with a special paintjob???
Gaijin, I’m begging you, please don’t be this stupid. Give us a TT version of the F-14D, and give both it and the premium version the weapons they could actually use in service! You CANNOT claim to be a historically authentic game in any capacity when you introduce the best variants of iconic jets in a nerfed state (using missiles they were physically unable to fire in service) at $80 with no real TT equivalent!
This is an outrage… Give it higher BR and AIM-9M’s 7P and 54C+ at the very least.
They’re really trying to pull an M1 KVT situation on us again… But with no real defensible reasoning this time…
Nothing new.
