The underperforming TF30’s of the F-14A Tomcat did not allow the airframe to reach its full potential, leading to their replacement with the General Electric F110. Initially designated F-14A+, the F-14B Tomcat had higher thrust and engine reliability compared to the F-14A. Other than a new RWR, most of the F-14A avionics remained unchanged, including the AN/AWG-9 radar. While some refer to this variant as the “Bombcat,” the nickname originated from F-14A’s fitted with bombs.The F-14 was retired from US Navy service in 2006 and the only remaining operator of the F-14 is Iran, which continues to use and upgrade the F-14A. The F-14B and D are no longer in military service at all. Most American F-14’s, especially B and D’s, have been gutted of their avionics and internal systems, if not dismantled completely to prevent Iran from acquiring spare parts.

This is a special livery me and a friend on discord came up with. The livery is inspired by the IJN Shinano as featured in Azur Lane.
I also smoothened it up a bit and made it shinier. And added a bit of wing flex since the wings looked a little stiff in high alpha turns, also added a RIO pov camera
"Thou ought kill for me, don't thee?" -Shinano (probably)
Glory to the Empire!!!

If any of you dogfight with it, feel free to let me know what you fought with it, I'd love to see how my WMD is being used.
I'd love If someone could make a Sakura roundel for the plane to add a little 'authenticity'
If there's anything you'd like to say to me, just make a comment. Oh! Also I've rebranded my bio to support my recent interests, so look at that if your interested :3
@LoneSpaceGaming yeah not the best with grammar :(
@Randomplayer
Bit of a run on with some of those sentences.
@ThatKindaWeeb ah. Lemme try that out
@Randomplayer weird victory tho, since that was basically pinning two Sakura fighters against eachother, you'd think I'd be facing smth like a F-16C or F/A-18F from the Eagle Union (which is basically Azur Lanes' America)
@ThatKindaWeeb lol
@Randomplayer Damn, guess I gotta add to the count of lost aircraft
F-14B vs @ReinMcDeer’s Mitsubishi F-2 (me)
Fight time: 45 seconds
Flight log: I look around and spot the F-14, jettisoned my fuel tanks and pulled a high g turn to get nose on. My missles lock faster than the F-14’s but I don’t fire yet, although the F-14 did. I use my flares and repeating the cycle until I’m .5 miles away I say “Fox three!” 3 seconds goes by, a huge fireball emerges. I yell “Splash 1!” Pulling away before I hit the poor F-14 carcass.

A very well made plane, good job!
@Nerfaddict definitely
@LoneSpaceGaming mb, I wish I had Rein's knowledge :<
Heyo
Been awhile
I’m disappointed.
There’s no WSO (Spelled WSO not WISO) onboard the F-14, it’s a RIO.
