SilentGun Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 If they actually start a project for the F-14, I'll be buying up every module LN makes as appreciation for bringing such a iconic plane to DCS. :D looks like your wallet is going to have some holes in it by the end of this year ;) Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)

GaryIKILLYOU Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Why do you say that? Just curios... AWACS are high priority targets, and the AIM-54 has range that very few (no other multiplayer driven) aircraft can match. I.E. AWACS can be picked off (depending on the circumstances of course) at ranges that it's practically immune to return fire unless said driver performs serious mistakes on their end. :) My Specs:Win 10 Pro 64bit/ i7 6770K 4.5Ghz/32GB DDR4/ GTX 1070 SC/Samsung SSD Warthog Stick/TWCS Throttle/TrackIR 5

Sure BluFor will still have the A/A+ with (hopefully) updated AIM-54Cs which should give a slight edge, but it wouldn't be 100% no contest.

AceRevo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 F-14A is used by Iran as well. Oh and I think he was referring to all kinds of airborne early warning systems, not just US-specific AWACS. Is the F-14 really in use? I thought they were ''stationed'' for no spare parts etc... When the conflict versus 'merica escalated, Iranian quickly discovered that the Tomcats were unable to fire any of its missiles which happened just after the Grummans engieers/crew/staff or whatever fled the country, and to this day theres no official words on what really happened but there were rumors that the engineers took with them electronic systems, as a sabotage.... How operational is the Iranian F-14 today? X-55 profile for the F-15C

Alicatt Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) FlightGlobal estimated that approximately 28 were in service in 2014. Added to that, a few days ago there was an announcement from Iran about on going upgrades to extend their lives to 2030. Also that Iran has managed to reverse engineer the AIM 54 and are producing new models of them Edit: Link http://theaviationist.com/2015/03/01/iriaf-f-14s-overhauled/ Edited March 4, 2015 by Alicatt add link Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron

How operational is the Iranian F-14 today? Well Considering Iranian F-14s Shot down around 160 Iraqi Aircraft during the Iran-Iraq war and thats according to western sources. so whatever "sabotage" was done it did not take very long for the Iranians to fix it... And the Americans never thought the F-14s where Neutralised since then why would they have shot down the airliner they mistook for a F-14 if they new the F-14 could not fire any weapons...

F-14s shot down 160 Iraqi aircraft? And worse yet, according to Western sources? Funny. Why don't you say it's according to Tom Cooper's research (interviews with Iranian pilots IIRC) and which has since been very much disproven based on the information from the Iraqi pilots and data found after the fall of the Saddam's regime.

PFunk1606688187 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I'm curious about all these supposed issues with AWACS and the AIM-54. Surely a mission designer can just put a string of pretty impressive SAMs within the typical WEZ relative to the AWACS orbit, yes? Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
