where does it say they have to
Here’s the thing - if the Dev’s came here, with a good explanation, as to why A: this plane is being made a premium that is just absolute Su-30 food when there are seriously another half dozen options to give us for a ARH premium and put this in the tech tree, and B: why they won’t give us a tech tree version with AMRAAM’s - I’d have no problem.
The problem is - and why I called them out on it in a mile long post, is that they aren’t coming back with anything good. Like basically saying ‘but see, your own thing shows they never made the upgrade to them’ - at which point sorry, I’m gonna put them on full blast when the F-15C GE exists - cause it’s in the same place as the F-14D AMRAAM upgrade of ‘set up but not followed through on’, maybe less so not sure they funded the project, and other vehicles never armed - but armed in this game because it was ‘supposed to’ or ‘considered’ - even though there is material showing the AIM-120 approved and for where on a F-14D, to say nothing of the fact the AIM-120 was literally designed to slot in where Sparrows went on all existing aircraft like F-4’s and F-15’s.
As someone that actually took courses in game design, I have a certain amount of respect for Devs, but you try and pull something like that, as a player - I’m gonna lose that respect real quick.

It’s kinda more amusing when you think about the fact it was a software upgrade that they didn’t want to pay for.

Honestly I don’t know why this company has as many Simps for it. They continuously lite fires that didn’t even need to be made.

F-14D can’t receive 54C+ because it still needs cooling , that 14D can’t provide.
14D used ONLY 54C ECCM/Sealed for that reason, because among the upgrades was the cooling not to be provided by the aircraft.
54C+ can be used by both 14A and B though.

We all want it? That’s a pretty odd thing to type here.
Well. No wonder. They sell you a 70 bucks plane and don’t ever get the essential bug fixed, even if all evidence is provided in a ticket.

I have provided the original NF-5A and NF-5B flight manual. I have provided the technical maintenance manual from the NF-5A.
DEV have still not added the yaw dampers.
I am not asking to add armament that it never carried, but fix wat is proven to be there.

Now we got the AIM-9Ms ;-)
US can’t stop winning this update.
F-14D:
- loadout changes:
- 4x AIM-9L + 640x Split pod countermeasures → 4x AIM-9M + 640x Split pod countermeasures
“Accepted” in the bug reporting section doesn’t mean anything yet; there are tons of reports that have received this status, but the devs still haven’t made any changes. The simplest example is the F-104G/S I mentioned a dozen or so posts above—that aircraft actually had IRST and EEGS, The reports were marked “accepted” over two years ago, and to this day, the F-104G/S still lacks these obvious features. It’s a shame—“accepted” doesn’t mean the changes will actually be implemented; it’s just a suggestion to them… :(

Getting back to the F-14, in my opinion, the Super Tomcat won’t truly become “SUPER” until it’s equipped with the AIM-54+; in its current form, it’s just an F-14B with a better radar and IRST.
I have an idea for an interesting squadron-based F-14: the F-14A-65-GR with AMRAAMs (BR 13.3). The YAK-141, which was never in service, made it into the game, so maybe there’s room for the American test platform that was the F-14A-65-GR? I think that would be a good solution and a gesture of goodwill toward the players :)

After u buy pre-order and make goodwill toward the developers.
My username didn’t come out of nowhere…;)
I’ve shown goodwill toward the developers many times, just like many other players when looking at team compositions in random battles—now it’s the devs’ turn, The F-14 Super Tomcat has been one of the most eagerly awaited aircraft in War Thunder for quite some time. Releasing only one version hidden behind a paywall, with equipment more similar to the F-14B, is a bit… ill-conceived.

yea, but if they do, they can loose their job or be simply ignored.
They do not have much say in that regard usually
