That very F-14A still used AWG-9 radar and couldnt even datalink AIM-120 to its target. In such case its completely unrelated to F-14D.
Do you deny the evidence?
It’s convenient when developers don’t do as you say “they’re bad and deny the facts”. And when they give you the facts, you’re not prepared to accept them.
The other systems used for the use of the 120 were used for the development of theD.
well don’t forget the 14 was being replaced cause of reasons that get political so no reason to spend money on upgrades they wouldn’t use

You deny the evidence Mr. GPT

The fact is that the report for AIM-54C+ (ECCM/Sealed) is accepted. the evidence for such is clearly valid
If the Dev choose not to implement it that is an issue within Gaijin. NOT the documents

They should have just made a fully copy & paste Premium F14B with unique camo rather than do this.
It would have been more respectable.
To see this happen to The F-14D is just upsetting.

So an F-14B(U)? Yeah that would have been actually fine and I agree none of this drama would have happened.

just like what DCS is going to have!
It’s just crazy the timing Gaijin adds a F-14D and the US Gov is about to have a F-14D be rebuilt to flying shape. Doubt and correlation though.

It was just testing though, since this was a service aircraft they will not implement things that were only tested.
But they should and what about that kh38mt something missiles?

its Lazy if you ask me, they release it for hype or something to make money but put no real effort into making it at all, just copy and paste pretty much.

Thats a whole separate issue tbh.
It was probably a rushed addition to put into the update.

The F-16AJ was a proposed aircraft that lost to the F-15J, part of the proposal was increasing the amount of Sparrows by adding an additional pylon on each gear door. This was done to bring the missile count up to 8 which was the minimum required amount of missiles required by Japanese doctrine at the time. But it was only a proposal, the only F-16 Japanese pilots sat in was the YF-16A.
Additionally I would also like to just point out that on the topic of tested weaponry only being added to prototype aircraft, that doesn’t necessarily seem to be the case considering there’s the Kh-38MT which as far as public sources are aware, exist as a mockup/prototype only, yet are on numerous production aircraft in-game.

copied the files, changed the name to D, changed the radar name and a couple specs, added a camo. Thats all they did lol.
How their is plenty of evidence f14D was completely cable of using aim120 and last time I checked nearly none for the kh38mt
