"Mid 90s F-14B" => Could it mean that we are going to get the Bombcat update for the F-14 B, which would be the F-14B(upgrade) version?:music_whistling:

 

That plus the LANTIRN upgrade would be awesome of course, but they did specifically say in the update that nothing has been decided yet on the exact A2G equipment fit.

i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

 

DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?).

 

Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!

They've been annoyingly coy about that actually, though at least we now know it's less that they're just trolling us and more because they haven't finished deciding. At worst we'll be able to drop dumb bombs, at best, we're looking at LANTIRN 40k which would be amazing, but more likely just normal LANTIRN. Either pod would be great because it'll synergize well with modules like the upcoming Mirage 2000C which will carry LGBs, but not be able to designate for them. There's a need right now for a fast mover that can target LGBs, and the F-14 is very very well suited to fill that role.

"Dance to the Vampires"? :D

Yes! I'm going to have to read Red Storm Rising once more before release. The battle of the Atlantic was by far my favourite part of that book. Just remembering the "Vampire, Vampire, Vampire!" call sends a shiver down my spine. :)

My thinking exactly! :thumbup:

 

It's either Iceland or possibly Kamchatka in the far east?

What about optimisation of those models? Will it have same FpS-debilitating effect during online game as MiG-21?

 

I think they have learned a lot from the MiG 21 and have improved and refined their modelling abilities... they are doing some cool stuff.
