<< F-14B Tomcat Model Swap and Add-On >>

=======================================================================================

Something that no one really ask for, but I made it anyway. Now you have all 3 F-14 variants in AC7.

"What makes B different from A and D?"
"Same chin pod as A, D's engine (GE F110). Introduces guided munition that A didn't have. Without getting too detailed, that's pretty much it,"

"Why replace the F-14A?"
"Cause F-14A -TGM- exist, with better stats than the regular A (Better than D too)."


Loadout:
- LAAM (AIM-54C Phoenix)
- GPB (GBU-31(V)4/B)
- LAGM (AGM-88C HARM)

"Why not reuse the GBU-24A/B or GBU-24B/B from the F-14D or F/A-18E -TGM-?"
"Cause 1. You can't mount 2 24s side by side like in ACE7's default F-14D, only 1 front and 1 rear staggered. And 2. The lack of JDAM in ACE7 is irritating."


"But F-14 can't carry HARMs."
"It tested it before, so why not. Not to mention the F-14B also had LAGM in ACE INF. Also F-14A carries CBU-87 when it can't, among many other examples in ACE7."
