Crumman F 14B Tomcat

Only in the Navy

This is a FLYING AIRCRAFT CARRIER (LITERALLY), changing the name would make anybody updating the mod have 2 differently named versions, and also wouldn't be funny.

The long awaited legend has arrived.

Two seater carrier capable aircraft, featuring a unique flight model, revolutionary cockpit, new gameplay elements, and entirely badass.

The Crumman F-14B Tomcat is not in any way affiliated or referencing real world organizations or aircraft. Similarities are purely coincidental.

Cockpit(s)

The aircraft contains two cockpits for you and only you to switch between, the first cockpit contains everything you need to steer and fly your Tomcat. That being a steering wheel, a big throttle lever thing thats hard to reach, and the rest of your standard F/A-26B style cockpit.

You might be wondering "Why does this boat need all that engine" and that's because that thang do be flying. Hit the flight mode button located to the right of the steering wheel to switch to the usual stick and throttle you're used to. When taking off from the ocean the water sometimes gets a little in the way, we've developed a super secret cant tell you technology to solve that. Hit the takeoff mode whatever thing to the left of the steering wheel ish to raise your boat a little more over the water and recieve less drag, then just pull up and fly.

The second cockpit can be switched to via the switch seat button located just to the right of the base of the steering wheel i think maybe, that will then move you down to the epic cockpit. This one gives you a TSD with all of the normal stuffs but also a new custom page for controlling your units. The UCS (Unit Control System) gives you a top down view of your aircraft showing the locations of all the equipped units and their status. There is also two elevators you can select to move up and down for any aircraft that have landed on you. To enable each weapon you need Master Arm on. You can toggle each weapon to be armed individually by pressing them and hitting the toggle arm button in the bottom left. You can also force them to fire on a specific target by selecting a target on the TSD, EOTS, or maybe something else idk, and clicking the fire button in the bottom right.

Weapons

The aircraft has a good few weapons. An M230 Gunny gun, Phalanx CIWS, Mk 29 Launcher firing RIM-162 ESSMs, a UCAV Launcher launching MQ-101s that are manufactured on boat infinitely and speedy through epic secret manufacturing technology, GLSDB Launcher firing GPS glide bombs or something idk, and an ASM launcher firing some anti ship missiles or something i dont remember im kinda giving up on writing this..

The UCAV Launcher and GLSDB Launcher may require you to wait for them to get into position first before firing.

Satisfied Customer Reviews

  • Syrillic: "wtf man, you made me get so excited for this shit. It probably took longer to make this mod than it would to make an actual f14 mod. Go fuck yourself"

  • Mwiadro: "Come on man? You really had to do us like that?"

  • el_alixo: "ummm.. you are an aircraft carrier"

  • Zuulomyx: "Whenever I launch the new F-14 mod I get put into the bridge of a supercarrier instead of the plane. It just seems kinda mean."

  • nuggi nugget: "Is it just me who downloaded a f14 tomcat mod and it was an aircraft carrier instead?"

  • Danku: "What? Not Grumman F-14B Tomcat?! What is this? Some kind of April Fools 2023?"
