Stratos Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Wondering If any of the Tomcat variants feature Night Vision Googles and Terrain Following Radar, I will asume the D variant has them, but one cannot be sure without official data. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Basher54321 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 VF-2 used NVGs in OIF (F-14D) Never seen any reference to TFR.
lunaticfringe Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Don't know what Leatherneck's plans are, but by the mid-90s they could all use NVGs in different fashion. VF-11 tested them in-house in the early 90s in their Ds (the linked report noted one, but on their next cruise they had six). Basically, the panels, TID, and HUD had lens filters put over top to filter excess light. The F-14D's were compatible from the start (excluding the aforementioned HUD/TID combo). When the TID was replaced, the same style of panel was used from the other compatible MFDs to replace. This was included in the RIO's seat in the F-14B upgrade.
joey45 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 But can the A/A+/B use NVG's? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

lunaticfringe Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Yes. *All* of them can. The requirements for compatibility were different, but it was done for all of them.
Stratos Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Excellent news! Thanks for the clarification I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Gunslinger22 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but has Heatblur commented on possibly including NVG compatibility for the F-14B? "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
Destroyer37 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 There is an old thread out there where Cobra stated the F-14 would come with ANVIS-9's. I'll see if I can find it. Specs:Fractal Design Define R5 Black, ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E, Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake @ 5.1 GHz, MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X, Corsair H110i, G.Skill TridentZ 32GB (2x16GB), Samsung 960 Evo M.2 500GB SSD
Gunslinger22 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Oh awesome news to hear, I've really been loving the new NVG effects with the Harrier. It feels incredibly real, it would also make night strikes an absolute blast! "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
