No, I meant USN 70/75-GR variant(s).
95-GR is the Persian Cat, pretty sure that's not coming anytime soon  AFAIK

( images show BN:161440 120-GR before conversion, later converted to F-14B )   bottom pic: BN:159013 75-GR

Hopes of Tornado and JA37?

And updated Nevada.

Just joking.
I am happy with everything that's coming or being updated / repaired!
Did I say that I am in love with DCS somehow?

Forgive my ignorance, but what do the numbers '95, 70, 75' refer to?

Never planned. Anything resembling that would be the 95 model with locked out features or different chin.

Time to dust this off?

Throughout its production run, the F-14A underwent numerous changes which were divided into blocks labelled in multiples of 5.

You should be using it for 6 years now.

That was just a joke regarding how long we've been waiting for the early A.  I have actually given DCS a break for a couple of months and been flying the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions in Re-Rentry (Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator).  I was waiting for the early F-14A, to get back into DCS.

I had a feeling they were block numbers, just surprised the very early A got all the way up to 95.  Nothing better than a Tomcat in high-viz paint.

Well, anyone who refers to 95-GR as Early F-14A is mistaken and misleading. 90/95-GR is the IIAF variant. Ordered 80 aircrafts, got 79. (160299 to 160378)
Last BN:160378 went to NAWC (photo taken @ Top Gun - Miramar - 1994)

I'm just telling what you can get from Heatblur, that's all. And you're not getting 70/75, only 95, and even that as basically early 135 model/cockpit with cut out features and different chin.

Got it, I know what HB posted/informed  Unfotunately HeatBlur sometimes make mistakes
Early F-14 means no TCS chin pod:  usually means 70/75-GR but never meant 90/95-GR what is a different "animal"
90/95-GR always means Persian Cat
Image: this is the latest Tomcat what Iran got: 3-6079, translated to US Bureau Number: add 300 minus 2 = 163077

Unless they refer to their own models in game. They made 135 models A and B with 90s features. What they are adding soon is still 135 A but early (old RWR and such). You know the rest.

Yeah, I know:  135-GR missing Glove Vanes and wing root sensors: RWR & ECM fairings / "tumors" 
Early Tomcat needs old style gun vents beside the removed TCS and "Beaver-tail" ALR-67 RWR antenna if we refer to a new/updated "Early F-14A" 3D model

ORBX would have already posted some preliminary comments/pics in this case on discord.
So, I don't think Kola update is coming today, Afghanistan-North has slightly higher possibility, although ED didn't flash infos/screenshots either.
