F-14 February Mini-Update

[Dudikoff]

What I meant is, that the F-14A has the same capabilities as the B regarding PGMs. The A-variant flew in Afghanistan where it dropped GBUs during CAS missions in the early 2000s.

 

I think they lacked the digital bus so they weren't completely on the same level. But, either way, that was the upgraded F-14A with LTS support added (so, 1996+) and HB specifically stated that the F-14A they're doing will be a mid 80's standard, IIRC.

It would be nice to have more info from HB about exactly which -As and -Bs we are getting - and with which toys we will play.

 

Regards!

I don't know, I always thought it looked fat lol. But HB have enlightened me to its beauty. Plus I wanna shoot stuff really far away :P

Fat? That thing is sleek and sexy and has it were it counts ;)

 

But seriously, the F4 is fat.

 

 

And shooting things from say, beyond your usual range of vision? With maybe...an Aim54?

Yeah, she’s a big girl...but daaayyum she has the moves!

[turkeydriver]

She has more lift than any other fighter plane up to the F-22 IF she flies with a 4 AIM-9, and 4 AIM-7. She has more gas and range than everyone up to an F-15E. She has a longer range radar and longer range weapons that allow the kill shots to start upwards of 50 miles from the target......and finally she looks better than everything you've ever seen in the air.

..and finally she looks better than everything you've ever seen in the air.

 

I agree 200% ... ... ... ... ... with one exception ... ... Mirage 2000 ;)

I feel like an addict waiting for the next small "taste." I was being so patient for so long, telling myself to hold on, it'll come eventually. Now that I can almost sense the arrival I'm getting impatient.

 

I know a lot of my other DCS modules will suffer as a result of the F-14 release. I mean come on, learning to take off, fly, land; and then learn it all again off a carrier! Then to learn the weapons etc....this thing will take a lot of my DCS time....heck it may take ALL of my DCS time once released.

 

Cobra, any more small "tastes" for us addicts? :)

Noooo...As for the look, nothing equals the tornado. :music_whistling:

As for the rest, I agree with you. :thumbup:

[Robert31178]

Not true, I recently saw the following question posted twice, asked of an A-10 pilot and then again to an F-14 RIO:

 

"In your opinion what is the best looking American fighter, and why is it the F-14?"

 

Says it all right there.....

[Nanne118]

I really appreciate the update and especially like the prospects of the whole COOP aspect, neatly conveyed by the image chosen as well. Would it perhaps be possible we get the full size resolution screenshot? Although it showcases a WIP I think it more so displays the hard work you guys have put into the project!

[Wxtracker]

Waiting like a dog with rabies, I'm frothing at the mouth.... :)

we can finally begin to record in-depth gameplay videos from the F-14. You should expect with great certainty for these to start dropping sometime in March.

 

 

Bye

On the contrary..you need to be patient

[Martin501]

I know, I know... But I'm so excited to fly this bird! And already have passed 3 years since the announcement... Hope it worth it! (Hope it comes before the hornet too! hahaha) :thumbup:

[Buckeye]

Dead serious, when I woke up today I looked at my phone and thought "Holy shit! It's March already..." My next thought was "Oh that's right, Heatblur said March was when we would start to see some more Tomcat stuff..."

 

These brief thoughts were immediately followed by one of "I wonder how long it will take some nutjob to post on the forums reminding HB of this claim?"

 

Good to see the DCS community never disappoints :doh:

I think it's more realistic to expect the videos in around 2 weeks.

[probad]

i'll expect it once i see it.

Late march. Buried under work.
