F-14 Super Tomcat 21 - was it made for SF2?

[TheStig]

Was there ever an F-14 Tomcat 21 made for SF1 or SF2?

Not to my knowledge, only the Superpack (no 21 in there) by Caesar.

not having researched it heavily (nor will i be) arent the differences physically small enough to be able to do a mostly ini edit change? the pit would be the biggest difference phyiscally (and ini edit wise) i think

 

ok i got curious and looked. if you go with a Quick Strike Tomcat,  you have most of  the capabilities but with out the physical differences

scratch the one piece windscreen, Nite Owl (which looks like LANTIRN built into the Phoenix pallet anyhow) and extended LERX. as well as the bigger flaps and slats (increase angles to give similar effects)

the rest (upgraded countermeasures, AMRAAM capability, APG-71, regular LANTIRN capability, F-110 engine and supercruise) should be doable via ini edit.

Don't forget the 3d model. I'm sure a lot of fans would like an accurate model, rather than just using the F-14D model.

i know many would like the model, but who is still modelling that has experience or interest in the Cat?

i got very very lucky with ravenclaw helping me with the two seater Vipers, but for the most part we dont have too many 3D folks left and those that are are mostly working what interests them. not mad, it is what it is

i was just saying that a mid way could be to do up a Quick Strike version, since it will probably be a long time before a Tomcat 21 graces our screens. (where is Ceasar anyhow?)

well now i feel stupid

although to be honest, there is quite abit going on between then and now

Not an SF2 image, but proof that the Tomcat can carry just as many AMRAAMs as the Super Hornet.  All you need is the right launcher...

[Spinoee]

Theoretically you could get four more if you give up the fuel tanks, but that's still better than the SH, because it can only carry one tank with 12 AMRAAMs, not two.
