HGU-55 or HGU-33/P?

[KSilva]

Could you guys give details, which helmet the pilots for the F-14B are going to be using?

 

The HGU-33/P?

 

Or

The HGU-55

HGU-33 with MBU-14

Aweeee Dang

[CheckGear]

Wow, we're getting really detailed now. LOL

 

I'll raise you - if they wear the HGU-33/P, are we going to have a choice between the MBU-5/P oxygen mask or the MBU-12/P (that's the one seen in the photographs above).

I opened a wishlist thread mentioning this for other airframes.

 

Glad you guys are taking care of that for the Tomcat!

Well, I can tell y'all this right now, if it's only the MBU-5 modeled in this module, they can kiss my money good bye! That will totally ruin the whole experience for me and I just won't put up with it. :megalol:

Probably eventually yes. I'd like to add the MBU-5 for the Iranian Tomcats eventually. :)

 

On release, as mentioned, HGU-33 + MBU-14 (Green)

I think we've hit the weird point of Tomcat development.

If you guys didn't get your cues for pilot wear from Top Gun...I don't know what to say.

What's the actual difference between them anyway, aside from looks?

Is there anything more important than that?

That's perfect! When I think of Tomcat pilots that's what they're wearing! Keep up the awesome work. Details you've shared are amazing!

The HGU-55 allows you to mount NVGs.

This is a two years old WIP image from the F-14 development announcement.

FWIW, this has been tossed and re-done. :) Will be much more detailed and accurate!

[Texac]

I knew you would say something like this although I can't believe you because this already looks really detailed to me. :D

The early MBU -12s were also green before they became grey. From what I can tell the main difference is that MBU-14s (USN) have a larger Comms block than their USAF counterparts. The images above do NOT show MBU-14.

That's awesome! I love your fanatical meticulous attention to detail:D

Aha! Thanks.

There are tons of issues with the artwork above. The too thin comms unit is actually even too thin for the USAF MBU-12!
