KSilva Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 What liveries are we going to see on the F-14B? 1
Donut Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Great question! An official list would be great. In all the videos so far, the only sign of a squadron is the pilot and RIO helmets are painted in Jolly Rogers colors. That would lead me to believe that VF-103 will be one of the squadrons we will see for the F-14B. I think VF-84 only flew the F-14A i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"

Cobra847 Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Probably around 10 for release, but subject to significant change. The "master set" is just a generic TPS bird. :) 1 Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

KSilva Posted November 30, 2017 Author Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks for the speedy response Cobra! Now out of curiosity will you guys by any chance add any F-14D liveries to the F-14B later on? Unless you guys are going to make a F-14D ;-)

Unless you guys are going to make a F-14D ;-) Actually, I'm pretty sure we'll make some right off the bat. Will be an easy transfer to the -D if we get to it down the line!

KSilva Posted November 30, 2017 Author Posted November 30, 2017 That's amazing news Cobra! Don't Mind if I ask, but I would love to see if you guys could potentially add the Three current DCS F-14D Squadrons as liveries that are included in the Tomcat Module. That would be so generous of you guys if you did! VF-2 (http://www.csg-1.com) VF-31(http://www.cvw-8.org) VF-213 (http://www.cvw-8.org)
Baz000 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Will all the skins be only TPS for the Tomcat or will we get the CAG Commander colored skins too?
probad Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 if thats how you want to play it im gonna have to make a clan to lobby for my favorite squadron too then?????

Magic Yankee Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 VF-31 the best ! Especially for me Felix "105" :)
CheckGear Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 The following squadrons operated the F-14A+/F-14B: - VF-11 "Red Rippers" - VF-32 "Swordsmen" - VF-74 "Be-Devilers" - VF-102 "Diamondbacks" - VF-103 "Sluggers"/"Jolly Rogers" - VF-142 "Ghostriders" - VF-143 "Pukin' Dogs" It's funny, the B-variant was operated exclusively by Atlantic Fleet, while the D-model was operated almost exclusively by Pacific Fleet. Even the squadrons that spent time on both coasts changed between Bs and Ds as they moved from coast to coast.
Xenovia Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 i know for sure i'll be flying VF-31 and VF-103 colors all day, everyday in the F-14B. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Even the squadrons that spent time on both coasts changed between Bs and Ds as they moved from coast to coast. Don't forget about VF-24 and VF-211 - both Pacific fleet squadrons of CVW-9. :) But they only completed one cruise before transitioning back to the F-14A. With the force reduction of the early-90s and realization that very few new F-14s would be acquired, the USN decided to consolidate F-14D squadrons in the Pacific fleet and F-14Bs in the Atlantic. The F-14D only made its final cruise in the Atlantic fleet, moving over to CVW-8 for that last deployment. Otherwise, VF-31 was a long time member of CVW-14 while VF-213 had operated with CVW-11 since the 1960s! Both were Pacific fleet airwings. -Nick

The final cruise of the F-14 was epic in that CVW-8 deployed with two Tomcat squadrons, just like they did in the '90s!

VF-213 was in my Air Wing (CVW-8 ) during the war cruise in 2003 on the TR. VF-31 then joined us for the final Tomcat cruise in 05/06. 1 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!"
BlackLion213 Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Not true. VF-213 was in my Air Wing (CVW-8 ) during the war cruise in 2003 on the TR. VF-31 then joined us for the final Tomcat cruise in 05/06. Oops. Sorry about that. :) -Nick
Home Fries Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Not true. VF-213 was in my Air Wing (CVW-8 ) during the war cruise in 2003 on the TR. VF-31 then joined us for the final Tomcat cruise in 05/06. I was TAD to the CAG staff for work-ups prior to that 2003 cruise. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
CheckGear Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 I'm sorry, but VF-213 doesn't belong in the Atlantic Fleet. :P
Baz000 Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 I'm wondering if we will get only the subdued fleet TPS birds or will we also get the colourful CAG Commander birds too? Since the CAG birds are limited to the commander of the squadron if I'm correct.

Since the CAG birds are limited to the commander of the squadron if I'm correct. In the early 90's even the CAG birds were pretty subdued.. However, as time went on the CAG birds (200/100 modex) were full color with the CO's bird (101/201) being only slightly less colorful. There were some exceptions to this.. In VF-103 modex 103 was full color (because duh), in VF-213 modex 213 was VERY full color, in fact it's last cruise it was the retro overall gull grey color.
