Vampyre Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) In the mid-to late 90's all Navy Tomcats were given an air to ground capability. Here's a VF-14 F-14A. Edited January 31, 2015 by Vampyre fat fingers Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
King_Hrothgar Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I would prefer an F-14A, but I agree that a bit of bombing ability would be nice to have too. So the upgraded A's would be the best compromise. The reason I'd prefer the A is for historical reasons. It saw the most action with the USN and was the only one to be exported.
Golo Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 F-14 vs Mig-23 please. Already happened in Lock on nearly a decade ago. Anyway I would be for whatever version, its still F-14 = Awesome.
xaoslaad Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Reading, yes it seems the A and B both had bombing capability added. I see the bomb in the plane in the pic obviously, but I have no idea how to tell an A from a B visually. Well, ya so I don't care about the letter. It would just be nice to do those fly in, strategic strike missions and either have to fight your way in or out, all in one A-A and A-G for a couple or few people type missions. Same reason I want the F/A-18C. I dont fly with big groups, so having to have enough people to have both F-15's and A-10C's is a bit much of a requirement most of the time, so missions end up A-A or A-G.

The exhaust nozzles on the A are shorter and taper in more because of the B's uprated engines. That's how I tell. :) RYZEN 7 3700X Running at 4.35 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti 32gb DDR4 RAM @3200 MHz Oculus CV1 NvME 970 EVO TM Warthog Stick & Throttle plus 11" extension. VKB T-Rudder MKIV

Spt Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 A and B doesn't have a glass for head up display (HUD) only the D version. The hud is directly project on front window, so you can see a green part on front window on A and B version. Another thing the SuperTomcat (D) is the only one who has a double sensor just below the nose ! Sorry for my english ;) ++ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Manuel_108 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Cool, didn't know the 14A had such an old school HUD.

Priller Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Look at the wing line and you will see the bump that is on the F-14 and not on the Mig-23. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
kontiuka Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) https://www.facebook.com/leathernecksimThx. Funny how it doesn't show up in a Facebook search. Edited January 31, 2015 by kontiuka

boomerang10 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 The message they're obviously trying to send is that they are making a "The Final Countdown" campaign.
T_A Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 The hud is directly project on front window, so you can see a green part on front window on A and B version. Cool i did not know that , now that i look at photos in google i can see that, nice to learn something new.

ESA_maligno Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 For those wonder what they are talking about, this is what the image looks like with the contrast/brightness/curves adjusted: F4U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks LN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Akatsuki Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Seeing that image again i'd say : F4U (hopefully not birdcage), F-14 (no matter which version it's instant buy) and probably A6M. But i still hope for a MiG-23. :)
