Re-evaluating the F-14B Tomcat's Missile Loadout in WT

Hmm… It’s possible, but I would have no idea. Would need to find a source(s) that it was possible I reckon.

Correct, as of right now Alvis does seem to be correct. I’ll just dig through the flight Manuel since I’m stubborn.

It might, it might not exist. I’d have to check for panel gaps on photographs.
Outside that the front part of the rails house the base cooling.

Historically ccurate or not. This is INCREDIBLY stupid. Gainin would rather nerf an already bad vehicle than fix it. Why not give the 9ls, and 9m people have been asking for months? That is also an historically accurate fix?

Weapon additions are balance reasons, not fixes.

Due to the br increase and this fix, i would not be surprised to see it get the aim9l during the next br balance.

It exists :)

What you currently cannot do is bring 54s on the underwing pylons without bringing the front fuselage 54 pylons (with or without missiles), which is super weird because it doesn’t seem like those would share cooling, but idk.

Also pls gib 9M gaijin pls thx u

This is very cool info, thanks!

Thanks! just found out how to do it, been playing some games and well F14B is still underperforming. Always getting matched up against aircraft that outmatch me in every way, downtiers are fun tho.

Seeing this info, I wish we could have the F14D, As well as some sort of fix for the F14’s poor performance. Such amazing aircraft, sucks to see them performing so poorly.

well then why is it just publicly available? I doubt the US government would let this slip, even then it’s all outdated hardware.

I’ve found that F-14B is a lot more bearable (and even enjoyable) in air sim mode, where it can even afford to bring some bombs if the match allows it. Finding lobbies can be challenging sometimes tho lol

Thank you for the info.

Pretty nice thread so far, no arguing or nothing lol.

Though if the f14 does get it’s 9l’s with the next br bump. When do you think that’ll be?

Unless it is in the public domain, it is very likely that someone leaked it illegally.

Also, several of the F-14 manuals are classified, mainly because of Iran and IRST.

Because this level of classification means that it can be leaked by lots of different sources, still being available doesnt mean that they are not still clasiffied.

Something being available online does not mean it is fully and legally declassified.

Export restrictions and other classifications exist.

DO NOT under any circumstances post or attempt to share a source here without clear proof that it is fully and legally declassified and without any restrictions (export, ITAR, etc).

We will never use or handle such sources.
