I really do hope we get an early Block 90 -A, I PM'd Naquaii from HB around 5 months ago and he said that it was their intention to do a full early style -A complete with Hi-Vis liveries.
If something has changed idk but do u guys think a community created mod to have only the ALQ-100 antennae under the nose would be viable?
IIRC Jabbers did a podcast with HB recently and I think this was mentioned. I could be remembering wrong tho. I too would like to see this as there are some fantastic skin makers out there.
I have a question, Did -A Cats always need Zone 5 A/B when taking off from carriers? I was watching a F-14 Documentary recently which had footage from VF-1 and Vf-2s first cruise and some of the -A Tomcats in that footage didn't appear to be using afterburner as there were no bright exhausts. What could be the reason for this ?
IIRC The F-14A from 1975 had the IRST, Beavertail with the dielectric panels, 7 hole gun vent, no pitot on the nose. TBH I hope at some point we get an early USN F-14A. Its the classic Tomcat and those high vis schemes would look pretty cool.
