UMMM im sure it didnt, if im not mistaken the pod was was added after Desert storm in the D variant ( hence the cockpit and avionic upgrades )

 

 

During Operation Desert Storm of the Gulf War, most air-to-ground missions were left to A-7, A-6 Intruder and F/A-18 Hornet squadrons, while the F-14s focused on air defense operations.

 

Following Desert Storm, F-14As and F-14Bs underwent upgrades to avionics and cockpit displays to enable the use of precision munitions, enhance defensive systems, and apply structural improvements.

 

The new avionics were comparable with the F-14D; these upgraded aircraft were designated F-14A (Upgrade) and F-14B (Upgrade) respectively.

 

 

 

I may be wrong !

 

 

No matter tho im still really really looking forward to being a RIO :)

Is it me or does those cockpit textures raise the bar for all developers?

 

 

Stunning

I imagine the peeps at Heatblur are not exactly happy with ED now, and with good reason...

I would think ED got permission to do this.

[Evilducky]

could of been a mistake... why would they release the screenshots a few hours before the big release stream? That kinda ruins the whole surprise that they have been building up.

 

The screenshots are still awesome though.

All F-14 variants were upgraded with LANTIRN:

 

 

It was a fleet wide upgrade irrespective of F-14 variant.

These shots surpass my most optimistic projections of what I thought the finished product would look like.

 

I actually dismissed the images at first because I thought they were photos of real F-14s.

 

Well done, Heatblur.

You are wrong. Starting around 1998, the A-variant utilized LANTIRN. Keep in mind, a large percentage of Tomcats in service even in the early-to-mid-2000s were still the A-variant. Most of the Pacific Fleet squadrons flew the F-14A, but they all dropped tons of precision-guided ordnance in Afghanistan and Iraq.
