While the F-14 Tomcat certainly came in A, B or D models there was also a bit of crossover between variants so some F-14B's were F-14A+ upgrades and then some were built as F-14B's only, then later on in the B cycles (in the 1990's) we had the F-14B (upgrade) variant.   Some of the F-14 D's were F-14A's rebuilt and were designated F-14D(R).  So it can be a little difficult to establish clarity between the various versions of the Tomcat. 

That all said, if I was talking to someone playing DCS and they said they were learning to fly the A Cat, it would be easy enough to discern what they were flying.
