F-14A Tomcat: Into the Danger Zone!
Features:
The upcoming War Thunder major update Danger Zone brings you the new top tier of the US naval aircraft lineup, an early version of the F-14A Tomcat. This twin-engine carrier based jet fighter features variable-swept wing design, brilliant performance characteristics, as well as new to the game air-to-air missiles.
Tomcats powerplant is a pair of Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-412A turbojet engines, capable of an impressive 12,000 kgf (26,450 lbf) at M 0,9 each. The thrust is enough to provide max speed of over 2,200 kph (1,370 mph) and climb rate of over 200 m/sec even with minimal weapon loadout. Being quite heavy in mass, the F-14A has perfect controllability at the whole speed range thanks to the variable-swept wing, powerful engines and effective flaps.
F-14As strong suit is her capable air-to-air missiles. Pilots have choice from both familiar rounds, like AIM-7E/F Sparrow missiles, AIM-9D/G Sidewinders, as well as all new to the game AIM-9H (advanced version of the AIM-9G) and AIM-54A Phoenix, the long-range missile with semi-active and terminal active guidance modes and 60 kg warhead. In the upcoming update, the Phoenix missile will have the longest launch distance and guidance time among all air-to-air missiles in War Thunder. The aircraft carries 20mm M61A1 Vulcan rotary cannon and unguided weapon against ground targets, including Zuni rockets and bombs of up to 2,000 lbs each. Being an interceptor by design, F-14A lacks air-to-surface guided weapons, such as anti-tank missiles and smart bombs.
The Grumman F-14A Tomcat is surely one of the top guns in the Danger Zone update. An aircraft of incredible charisma and a living embodiment of modern carrier-based aviation rightfully goes to rank VII of the American naval aircraft lineup. The major update is almost ready, stay tuned for more news from the War Thunder dev team. Until then - good luck and happy hunting, pilots!

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
