Now F14 all model in the game need to
1.Real AWG-9 capability
2. Real AIM-54 Performance
3. A model need AIM-9L , B model need AIM-9M , AIM-7P
Im ok if F-14D would have AIM-120 or not. But now its need to be fix now.

I want to see airial warefare mode when it comes in the next year … because by name alone, i understand it has something to do with air to air.
For me F90 is heavy ^assumption^ territory as its performance goes.
Does anybody have real data on it? Other than generic info that i see across the web… because by the same generic info, it could be better than 54A Iran had, not really better than a C or C+ …
Because even the HAWK parts, Iran’s HAWKs were from the 70s and if that was ^the way^ US would have it by the same time…in the 70s or early 80s.
I’ve read enough iterations of what F90 is and not one with data…

I know why gaijin didnt give a real performance of Tomcat already. When its first appear top tier only have a 3rd generation aircraft, For make it balace they decied to nerf some real performance in Tomcat. Im play Tomcat for 3 year pass the A to now IRAF. Now its a great time to give it real performance. Its need that to race with the other 4th generation aircraft for now.
If they want to make a premium for a Tomcat. Its should be an A Late model at 13.0 BR like a F2A premium. The D model should be in tech tree or squadron (If it get AIM-120 would be NIOCEEEE).
But I feel they would do like a SU30 premium AHHHHHHH!
Here is a idea give the f14 this missle since it was in development and was fitted to the aircraft AIM-152 AAAM - Wikipedia
In stead of amraams
It even states the missile never built. That in the picture is a mock up.

It would be a nice consept tho
that wont happen until iran looses all there F14s as everything on F14B/A are classified

F90 IRL is a AIM-54A with different engine from a MIM-23 HAWK missile but some people who have zero idea what there talking about think its a MIM-23 HAWK body and engine even tho the MIM-23 HAWK is 16Ft and AIM-54 is 13 ft so physically cant fit which some how gaijin beleives hence why it pulls 20gs
It depends.
It is true that manuals from the 1980s onwards often fall under export restrictions or are classified, but manuals from earlier periods frequently do not, and unofficial manuals specific to the squadron can also be used. These include books pilots and ground crews received as training materials while assigned to the RAG, or materials intended to supplement the NATOPS manual.
awg-9 is still worst radar in the game and we cant prove otherwise cant get them to add AOA switch either its all bull cant get buffs for AIM-54 nothings gonna change
It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to slap 120as on the 14D.
There’s solid of evidence that it was a software update away from deployment.
If they’d stayed in the fleet past 06, it probably would have gotten deployed to the fleet since the AIM-54 was retired in 04. The VX was still testing stuff during the last deployment, that’s how the rover mod got implemented.
Not really like he said those missiles where only blueprints and never tested / built sadly and that would be for sure stretching it into make believe
I agree that the biggest problem is Gaijin’s arbitrary decision-making. They cherry-pick “realism” only when it suits them.
They went out of their way to model the AWG-9’s weaknesses perfectly, yet conveniently “forgot” to implement the TCS optical tracking that was designed specifically to cover those weaknesses. That isn’t a technical limitation. It is a deliberate choice to balance the jet by breaking its systems.
That is exactly why “hoping” doesn’t work. The only way to force them to stop balancing by mood and start balancing by facts is to slam undeniable documentation on their desk so they have no room to make excuses.
Saying it was “only a software update away” trivializes the most critical part of modern avionics. In a digital aircraft, the software is the weapon system. Without the OFP to communicate with the missile, the hardware is just dead weight.
You mentioned the ROVER mod, but that actually proves my point. The ROVER was tested, funded, and actually deployed because the Navy needed it. The AMRAAM was not. The Navy made a specific choice not to finish that integration.
Basing loadouts on “what if it stayed in service past 2006” is a slippery slope into fiction. By that logic, you could argue for the AIM-9X or something.
I would rather see the F-14D retain its unique identity with a properly fixed AIM-54, rather than homogenizing it into just another generic AMRAAM carrier like the F-15 or F-16.
Dam I just realized I didn’t put this in the suggestion topic
I don’t think that’s the case…because they just toss you a ^balance^ reason since it is a game (and not 100% realistic accurate SIM) and toss the ^fact^ into consideration for the next 10 years!
There are entire vehicles that shouldn’t be in the game , because they were just…test planes in the end.
Never had weapons or fire controls set with software etc. But you see them in a what if scenario.
Others have weapons they were not compatible with and don’t have the ones that really had (MiG 29) and people whine for years , even if it will make it harder to use and people scream ^it wasn’t like that^ … yet nothing.
You have a Fiction 90 practically making the AIM-54s crap, without any real data behind it …meanwhile it is closer to the performance the 54s had, if anything (which valid data exist) .
If you go by what pilots said (interviews/podcasts) , AIM-120A wasn’t much of an advantage against the last Phoenix . In fact they call it ^diet Phoenix^ … People believe A is D-3 or something…
Like you said it’s a game and in game facts is the aim120A is better than the aim54 in medium range combat not to mention it’s better aero and weight not to mention it had better guidance technology and last time I remember the aim54 was being phase out for aim152 and other missiles if the f14 was still in service. so my point is one missile still serving while the other isn’t. Also weren’t not trying to replace the aim54c eccm with aim120c we trying to replace the aim7p with aim120A with the aim120A following the same rules as the aim7 meaning like how we can’t carry 4x aim7m with 2x aim54 2xaim9L/bol pods anymore
