Tirak Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 So we've got ourselves an F-14 able to dogfight, nice. DCS: F-14A+ is a day one buy for me. Now here's the other big question. Is this the post upgrade version that would give us access to LANTIRN or LANTIRN 40k and precision guided munitions? And which Phoenix missile are we getting?
Yurgon Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Oh, another question: What about probe-and-drogue refueling? Will we see KA-6/S-3 tankers? Or do we have to acquire Il-76 for the job? ;)
cichlidfan Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 But seriously, are we just getting one model or the A AND B? From Cobra's post: Both -A and -B Model F-14's ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme 8GB, Corsair HX1000i, Phillips BDM4065UC 40" 4k monitor, VX2258 TouchScreen, TIR 5 w/ProClip, TM Warthog, VKB Gladiator Pro, Saitek X56, et. al., MFG Crosswind Pedals #1199, VolairSim Pit, Rift CV1 :thumbup:
ghostdog688 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I'd expect we borrow IL-76 for now, with the others showing up later
Fixxxer46 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Does this mean that the Tomcat will have a PFM, but the actual Phoenix missiles will have an AFM? Or that the Tomcat will have a FM somewhere in the middle between an AFM and a PFM? Your quote looks to be the missile(same sentence) I belive this is for the aircraft: - Highly Accurate Flight Model - Based on Real Performance Data
SilentGun Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Oohhhh I get it. the F-14A+ was the F-14B... so we aren't getting two tomcats, but that's ok its still a bombcat ;) Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS...

Buren Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Well, even though we have been hinted at the Tomcat for some time now, it still feels surreal. This gonna be good. Thanks, Leatherneck. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SkateZilla Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Oohhhh I get it. the F-14A+ was the F-14B... so we aren't getting two tomcats, but that's ok its still a bombcat ;) Says F-14A, A+ and B.

Yurgon Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 The S3's are already in the sim and usable. Funny; I actually set one up as a dummy tanker for an ambient flight of Hornets in an older mission. Must have slipped my mind because of the excitement. :) Thx for the reminder. :thumbup:
GGTharos Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Where? I see AIM-54 launchers. And its got bomb racks... Super! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
HairyPOOnuggets Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Gentlemen, first, think about this: Leatherneck, just put EVERYONE on notice, to bring "IT" or get left in the dust, this has sent shock-waves thru the DCS community. Second, EVERYONE should go out IF able and BUY the MIG-21 to support Leatherneck Sim.
Scoggs Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Cobra, how about a kickstarter to get Anthony Edwards to voice the AI RIO? I would seriously back that.:thumbup: My SpecsAsus Maximus Hero IX Z270 i7 7700k @ 4.7GHz 32GB G.SKILL TridentZ 3700MHz DDR4 EVGA RTX 2080Ti Samsung 960 Evo 1TB M.2 NVME SSD EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 Acer XB270HU 144Hz @ 1440p (IPS) Valve Index OOOOhhh, I wish I had the Alpha of a Hornet!
King_Hrothgar Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 ^You should get the MiG-21 anyways, it's a blast even if horribly obsolete (or massively OP vs a sabre :P).
Greekbull Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 So I wonder if the Air to Ground radar they got working is for a new plane or a future release of the F-14D??? Either way I am so happy to get a Tomcat in DCS! I hope it comes with Carrier ops day one.

fltsimbuff Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Where? I see AIM-54 launchers. In his defense, in recent combat use, they might as well have been bomb racks :D

Vampyre Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I was under the impression the A+ and the B are the same aircraft? :helpsmilie: Technically, yes but while they were designated A+ they were without any significant air to ground capability. 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!"
