GrizzlyBear83 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Yes you are right, only A variant will have RED counterparts - MiG-23MLA i MiG-21bis. BTW. I heard B variant will be '80 standard. Am i wrong? The B-model we're getting is LANTIRN capable. Mid 1990s.
GrizzlyBear83 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Such a shame. Thx for an answer. Shame? The Bombcat is a smart business choice for Heatblur to roll out the B model before the A model; the advantages of better engines over the A, and you get both worlds (AA and AG), it probably makes the module a bit more attractive when you can do more.
Lucas_From_Hell Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 The F-14A had all the air-to-ground bells and whistles of the F-14B, actually.

For me it was only about the time period - LANTIRN version in not in a cold war time frame. After the cold war and colapse of USSR there was no point of maintaining mighty and expensive Tomcats. F-14A will be my favourite. I can't wait for F-14 vs MiG-23 multiplayer fights.

Gunslinger22 Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah, because we totally don't have a CURRENT GEN F-18 and A-10 in the game... Oh wait. Why do people say this stuff? Classification has nothing to do with what gets into the game or not. The only relevant aspect is whether the necessary government and contractor entities say "yes" or "no". If they wanted to, they could forbid you to model a 1940s P-51 Mustang, since they own the IP, etc. @@ You're joking aren't you? You seriously just said classification has nothing to do with how modules are made? Hmm, well when should we expect the F-22 and F-35 modules to come out? If they can't gather enough information on the required technologies because they're classified then they can't accurately simulate it can they.

StandingCow Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Yea, classification has a LOT to do with what gets made, Wags and other devs have said as much in the past. It's one reason ED itself can't do any Russian full fidelity modules that aren't super old. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
Blaze1 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Generally classification (for in service U.S aircraft) is not the issue, the issue is the amount of unclassified data available. Just because information is unclassified doesn't mean it's accessible.

metzger Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Why such threads has to even exist ? They said years ago they will release f-14 A and B, what is so difficult for people to understand ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Because it's a wish thread. People would like the F-14D to be made and they are discussing it. Don't be a wet blanket. This ^ And also because of posts from HB like these... F-14B with Sparrowhawk and PTID is unlikely. We'd rather spend that time on building an F-14D. Functionality wise, you'll already be very well off in the -B due to the LANTIRN. One thing to note is that our LANTIRN implementation relies on feeding the video through the fishbowl display. This was (according to our research, at least) - not something that was widely used in the fleet. Thus it can be considered to be a somewhat "experimental" version of the F-14 that existed for a short period. It is quite likely - but we still need to launch the A/B and everything that comes with it.

Airhunter Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I would not be disapointed if they did the D as some sort of expansion but I'd rather have them do a full fidelty A-6E or another awesome plane first rather than the -D Tomcat. But that's just my personal opinion/view. Does the -D model actually carry any significant weapons the -B can't? I know it can use JDAM's but is that about it?

But that's just my personal opinion/view. Does the -D model actually carry any significant weapons the -B can't? I know it can use JDAM's but is that about it? Since no one is making a F-15E... F-14D can be the closest thing you will get to F-15E. And oh yeah, it is far more advanced than F14A/B.

Boiling it down to just the weapons it can carry rather misses the point of the differences between the A/B and the D model.
