For choice number 1, it's the most interesting choice in terms of the gameplay to have an F-14A very different from the F-14B. Also for cold war scenarios with old (from 1974 - 1982) F-14A agains MiG-23MLA.. For choice number 2, I understand that the work provided was gigantic and therefore I respect the choice of developers to make an F-14A full upgraded (from 1995 - 2002 ), although it will be almost identical to the F-14B.. For choice number 3, it is the most interesting choice at the scenario level to have a new opposition on the "red" side!

Chose here your F-14A : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=240269

A community survey: I) You prefer the "Classic F-14A" of the seventies with the technology of this time ? II) You prefer the "Full upgraded F-14A" of the nineties with same technology of the F-14B (except for the engine of course) ? III) You prefer the "Iranian F-14A" of the eighties ?

We all know that, but as you could read in my post they are end-of-life changes of the F-14A in 1996! The F-14A was in service in 1974 and served mainly as an interceptor, the GBU + LANTIRN modifications of the F-14A appeared 21 years later to extend its service but does not represent the classic F-14A ! It's stupid to want an F-14A with the latest modification and update, to have an almost identical airplane to the F-14B (except for the engine of course) :glare:

Physical differences between F-14A and F-14B I hope we have this fo the F-14A.. F-14A Exterior and cockpit versus B: 1 ) Lack of antennas 2 ) Rounded corners on nacelles 3 ) Exhausts nozzles (PW TF30's) 4 ) ALQ-100 or IR seeker (chinpods) 5 ) RWR ALR-45 6 ) Gun gas purging vents: Pre AFC731 on the F-14A 7 ) DLC: "old" 4 spoiler DLC on the F-14A 8 ) Old skins of seventies F-14A squadrons 9 ) Weapons: No LANTIRN, NO GBU Bombs "Initially, the Tomcat could carry only conventional "dumb" bombs, and had no precision-guided munition capability. It was not compatible with guided weapons such as the AGM-84 Harpoon, the SLAM, the AGM-65 Maverick, the Walleye, or the AGM-88 HARM. It initially could not even carry or deliver laser-guided bombs. However, the ability to deliver laser-guided bombs such as the GBU-10, GBU-12, GBU-16, and GBU-24 was added in 1994, although the Tomcat initially had to rely on other aircraft to designate the targets. The first GBU-16 laser guide bombs were dropped from a Tomcat of VF-103 on May 2, 1994. The Tomcat first dropped such bombs in anger when two F-14s of VF-41 attacked targets in Serbia with GBU-16s on September 5, 1995, with F/A-18s painting the target with AN/AAS-38A Nite Hawk laser designators. The Tomcat lacked any type of FLIR and laser designator which would make it possible to operate at night and to deliver laser-guided bombs autonomously. The Martin-Marietta LANTIRN (Low Altitude Navigation and targeting Infra-Red for Night) pod was selected to provide this capacity for the Tomcat. The LANTIRN pod is attached to the starboard wing glove pylon. The aircraft was equipped with a GPS antenna, and the antenna was linked to a Litton GPS/IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that was incorporated into the LANTIRN pod. This allows the pod to find targets without the need for a radar fix. The system was first tested on an F-14B drawn from VF-103 in February of 1995. The F-14B testbed first flew with LANTIRN on March 21, 1995. The first LANTIRN pod was delivered in June of 1996. The first operational cruise with LANTIRN-equipped Tomcats took place that very month" 10) Weapons: No AIM-54C "The AIM-54C is the only improved model that was ever produced. It used digital electronics in the place of the analog electronics of the AIM-54A. This model had better abilities to shoot down low and high-altitude antiship missiles. This model took over from the AIM-54A beginning in 1986 THIS IS MY DREAM ;-D

Congratulations and thank you for this event. We also organize events and we know the implication and the work behind it!

@uboats could you please give some new about the Jf-17 ?

Happy with just the ALQ-100

THIS IS A F-14A !!

Hi HB Which version of the F-14A are we going to have? Can you give us details of the aircraft? Will you have a lot of time to get it?

F-14A I hope we get a verry old F-14A with the IR pod :D With old skin form 1975-78 F-14A SQN

I'm not sure in reality is like that, TWS DUAL is most of the time usless on DCS WORLD..

In DCS WORLD, yes .. But in the real world, according to many analysts from sources and experts, the R-77 has a better resistance to jamming ECM than the AIM-120C !? :detective_2:

The difference with an AIM-120C is that the R-77 has a lower range, but a higher capacity to resist at ECM Jamming, and even to use these for a pasif guidance to the target !!!

For what in DCS WORLD when a target activates its jamming, it is almost impossible to use the TWS DUAL? While in reality the R-77 is just guiding itself on enemy jamming .. :huh: In the various documentation it is clearly indicated that the specialty of the R-77 is to lock itself on a target that uses jamming!! "Technologically, the R-77 is an active-radar homing missile, meaning that the seeker itself has a small radar that sends out radar pulses to detect the target and then uses that information to home in on the target. The current R-77 and R-77-1 use mechanically directed doppler radar without AESA, while rumored future variants will use AESA, in which the radar beam can be electronically directed with greater precision and speed (the use of AESA does not preclude the use of mechanical direction; modern Russian radars have been seen with both). The missiles also possess inertial guidance. Aerodynamically, the R-77 is distinctive among air-to-air missiles in that it uses grid (lattice) fins, an innovation that greatly increases the surface area versus traditional fins. This allows the R-77 to maneuver at higher angles of attack. These fins are also foldable allowing the R-77 to be placed on internal missile bays of some aircraft. The R-77 also uses a laser proximity fuze, in contrast to the AIM-120, which uses a radar proximity fuze. The laser fuze is immune to ECM by design principle.." "R-77 Missile improvements (Flaming Cliffs 3) Obviously having passive tracking (homing on ECM/emitter) could be used to query any change in return to the active tracking..." "It is interesting to see how a missile with a passive channel on its seeker would interact against an emitter with so called LPI modes ."

+1 What's about the skin please ?

@uboats We have JF-17 with chinese and Pakistan skin? (It's for REAL WAR planning)?? When do you release the JF-17, I ear the end of 2019??
