Remember, this thread was started at (12-31-2015, 04:31 PM) (Central/5 mins ago) Gotta be close! Frisco1522

Please, never stop. I've learned so much from the stuff you and everyone else posts about on these forums. And learning/talking about the Tomcat never gets old! :pilotfly: Frisco1522

I still believe in yah, Cobra! Never doubt the delaymeister! :thumbup: Frisco1522

Awesome, Thanks! :thumbup: Frisco1522

So hold on a second...I'm confused. There are 3 different HUD's that I have recognized in the Tomcat. Can you guys tell me what each one is, why they are different, and which one we are getting? Frisco1522

The closest I can come so far. (But not close enough) Wright R-1820G M 462-RF

Interior shots, yes. Frisco1522

BlackLion, how are you not a full-time LN member by now? :lol: Frisco1522

Fun Fact: In the movie Top Gun, the scenes inside the aircraft carrier were supposedly taken from the USS Ranger, NOT the Enterprise. Frisco1522 P.S. MBot, I like the way you think! Dream big baby! Dream big! :thumbup:

I'll see if I can join in next time you all have something cooking. Sounds interesting! Frisco1522

I for one would love it if they would make a Viggen sub-thread already! I'm sure that by this time, it deserves it's own home on the ED forums. Sure it's not out yet, but neither is the F-14. (Or Gazelle, or BO, or 90% of VEAO's aircraft :D) Frisco1522

Just realized 3 days ago was the anniversary of the announcement. Frisco1522

Only the highest of quality in Soviet air simulations! Frisco1522

Welcome to the forums! I think you will find some of the best F-14 knowledge out there from the nice people around here. They are good at finding this sorta stuff. We all should know the different chin pods... ...but I compared a bunch of photographs of F-14Bs and Ds, I haven't found much. :book: But it's and interesting spot the difference and that I know others here are better at than I am! Frisco1522

That's Rudel for yah! :smilewink: Frisco1522

Oh no, ANY news you give us makes me happy. Even the little ones like insights to the inner workings at LN are awesome reads! (Maybe its just me? :P) And being F-14 centric is pretty awesome too! :thumbup: Frisco1522

This means so much to me. :bounce: This is what keeps me going, and excited for the future. Frisco1522

Multicrew Viggen, maybe... ...nah. Still gotta go with the cat. But I still can't wait till the Viggen comes out! :joystick: Frisco1522

Hmm, don't think any module can beat the Tomcat. :thumbup: Frisco1522

I feel, personally, that LN would want to make the F-14A and B (in terms of usefulness in battle) as opposite as possible, as to give purpose to using them both. If you give the player (us) the best weapon possible right from the start (F-14B > F-14A at everything), what is the point of exploring/trying something new? If LN is releasing two types of Tomcats, there has to be a reason to use both. No other aircraft in DCS has 2 different variants (except for MiG-29s, but they are basically identical :P). I don't know for sure, but I bet the reason LN is releasing two types of Tomcats is because they would both have their advantages and disadvantages over each other. If the B is better than the A in EVERY way possible, then what is the point of the A? By giving us the F-14A first, we probably get to use it in strictly Air-to-Air combat. The F-14B would allow us to attack ground targets as well, but probably has some side effect about the B that I don't understand that would make the A more preferable in a Dogfight. - "Just because you can't understand something, it doesn't mean it's wrong!" Whatever the reason, I just need a Tomcat. Period. :pilotfly: Frisco1522

Or maybe Cobra is just tired of us complaining. I mean, look at that face... :lol::megalol: Frisco1522

I think they are going to release the F-14A first, which is all Air-to-Air, and then the F-14B later down the road. Or did you mean that you want the F-14B, when released, to not come with LANTIRN? Frisco1522

Your service to the anxious Tomcat community is inimitable. :thumbup: Thank you BlackLion. Frisco1522

I wonder what the take-off speed would be with the wings in the folded position? Probably never tested, I bet, but definitely prohibited! Frisco1522

Awesome! Now I know what to do when we get our F-14! :joystick::pilotfly: Frisco1522
