Dudikoff Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) What I meant is, that the F-14A has the same capabilities as the B regarding PGMs. The A-variant flew in Afghanistan where it dropped GBUs during CAS missions in the early 2000s. I think they lacked the digital bus so they weren't completely on the same level. But, either way, that was the upgraded F-14A with LTS support added (so, 1996+) and HB specifically stated that the F-14A they're doing will be a mid 80's standard, IIRC.

amalahama Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It would be nice to have more info from HB about exactly which -As and -Bs we are getting - and with which toys we will play. Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I wanna shoot stuff really far away :P Fat? That thing is sleek and sexy and has it were it counts ;) But seriously, the F4 is fat. And shooting things from say, beyond your usual range of vision? With maybe...an Aim54? "Chops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkeydriver Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 She has more lift than any other fighter plane up to the F-22 IF she flies with a 4 AIM-9, and 4 AIM-7. She has more gas and range than everyone up to an F-15E. She has a longer range radar and longer range weapons that allow the kill shots to start upwards of 50 miles from the target......and finally she looks better than everything you've ever seen in the air.

LC34 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I feel like an addict waiting for the next small "taste." I was being so patient for so long, telling myself to hold on, it'll come eventually. Now that I can almost sense the arrival I'm getting impatient. I know a lot of my other DCS modules will suffer as a result of the F-14 release. I mean come on, learning to take off, fly, land; and then learn it all again off a carrier! Then to learn the weapons etc....this thing will take a lot of my DCS time....heck it may take ALL of my DCS time once released. Cobra, any more small "tastes" for us addicts? :) AMD Ryzen 7 7800X#D 64 GB Ram MSI RTX 4090 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert31178 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Not true, I recently saw the following question posted twice, asked of an A-10 pilot and then again to an F-14 RIO: "In your opinion what is the best looking American fighter, and why is it the F-14?" Says it all right there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanne118 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I really appreciate the update and especially like the prospects of the whole COOP aspect, neatly conveyed by the image chosen as well. Would it perhaps be possible we get the full size resolution screenshot? Although it showcases a WIP I think it more so displays the hard work you guys have put into the project!

phant Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 we can finally begin to record in-depth gameplay videos from the F-14. You should expect with great certainty for these to start dropping sometime in March. Bye Phant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Dead serious, when I woke up today I looked at my phone and thought "Holy shit! It's March already..." My next thought was "Oh that's right, Heatblur said March was when we would start to see some more Tomcat stuff..." These brief thoughts were immediately followed by one of "I wonder how long it will take some nutjob to post on the forums reminding HB of this claim?"
