Samples of Realistic and "According to the Manual" loadout configurations used by the US Navy in the F-14's service life, for easier and faster rearming for all!
This Mod brings together real life loads that the Tomcat carried in its lifespan, not all configurations will be used or sampled in the mod, but this gives good flexibility and options for pilots who want easier to use loadouts for rearming. Including options for both A/A and A/G.
The labeling used for the loadouts comes from the NATOPS of the F-14A (Figure 4-4) and F-14B (Figure 4-1) "Store Station Configuration"
Each Number and Letter signify a change or similarity in the configurations
- The First Number Indicates the Tunnel Composition
- The Letter Indicates if the Configuration has External Fuel Tanks or not
- The Second Number Indicates the Wing Pylon Composition
- If a "-1" is present, it Indicates a Sparrow is Loaded on Station 4, behind the two front AIM-54 Pallets/Fairings
*All A/A Missiles are their most modern equivalent (AIM-54C, AIM-7MH, AIM-9M)

*Disclaimer It is unknown if the Navy actually used these same names for actual configurations when the F-14 was in service and is just a "guesstimation" using the NATOPS and the nomenclature from it, including the addition of configurations not labeled.*
