Will the F14 be able to carry AGM-88 HARM?

I think not. They were never used operationally, so no HARM's....no AMRAAM's as well :)

Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache

Here's the ordnance the F-14A/B carried operationally during the '80s and '90s:

 

- ADM-141A TALD

- ADM-141C ITALD

- AIM-7F/M/P Sparrow III AAM

- AIM-9H/L/M Sidewinder AAM

- AIM-54A/C Phoenix AAM

- GBU-10E/B & J/B Paveway II LGB

- GBU-12D/B Paveway II LGB

- GBU-16B/B Paveway II LGB

- GBU-24B/B, D/B, & E/B Paveway III LGB/GPS

- GBU-31(V)2/B & 4/B JDAM

- Mk. 20 Rockeye II CBM

- Mk. 82/83/84 LDGP

- Mk. 82 Snakeeye

 

Anything else is a no-go, whether it was tested or not.

Grumman Tested it, on Testbed airframe w/ Prototype Adapters.

 

It never made it to Fleet Testing Sqns, Let alone Fleet.

 

 

What Users need to realize,

 

There's a Difference between what the Aircraft Can Carry Operationally (AS IN FLEET), vs What Testing Sqn or Demonstration Bird Can Carry in Testing.

 

Testing Squadrons and Demonstration Birds are Often Modified to test these items, and not everything they do to their birds gets integrated into the Fleet.

Do you know if the Lau-138 Expanded Chaff dispenser rail, the expanded chaff adapter or parachute flares were operationally fielded?

Admin deleted my message for "Debate over realistic or not", but I wasn't debating that at all.

 

 

 

The one message that was left is wrong in principle, even though it may well be correct for the Tomcat, that principle was what I was debating. Anyhow.

The AIM-120 AMRAAM is the follow on to the AIM-54 Phoenix missile. So while the F-14 won't get the AMRAAM, it's still gets a very long range engagement air-to-air missile.

 

There's a nice Wikipedia article on it, and a little bit extra on the 14's targeting capabilities.
