DCS: F-14B Upgrade

Pre-order Now Steam post image

The DCS: F-14B Upgrade by Heatblur Simulations is now available for pre-order at $49.99 USD!

The legendary F-14 Tomcat is without a doubt one of the most iconic combat aircraft ever created: a powerful, two-crew, variable-geometry carrier fighter that defined an era of naval aviation. Originally designed as the U.S. Navy’s fleet defender and long-range interceptor, the Tomcat evolved throughout its long service life into a far more capable multirole aircraft, equally at home in air superiority, fleet defense, reconnaissance, and deep precision strike.

The DCS: F-14B Upgrade represents one of the most important late chapters in that evolution. Built as an expansion for existing owners of DCS: F-14A/B Tomcat, the F-14B Upgrade brings the aircraft into its later, modernized form: a 2000s all-weather, multirole air superiority and precision-strike fighter, equipped for the era of modern warfare while preserving the raw power, character, and two-seat teamwork that made the Tomcat unforgettable.

F-14B(U) Features

What to Expect

Key features include the new VDIG-R with a modernized HUD, PTID, JDAM / GBU-31 integration, EGI navigation, Mission Data Loader, DFCS, ALE-47 countermeasures, ALR-67 integration, AN/AVX-3 Tactical Imaging Set, updated cockpit and exterior art including new pilot models and helmets, JESTER improvements, new instant action missions, new in game browser elements like manual and explain-me feature, and two new campaigns: Operation Reforger III over Cold War Germany and a tailor-made F-14B Upgrade campaign by Baltic Dragon to be added after release.

The F-14 has always been more than an aircraft to us. It is our life’s true passion, and with the F-14B Upgrade we are returning to the Tomcat in one of its most capable, most exciting, and most evolved forms. This is not a replacement for the Tomcat you already know. It is the next chapter: still dangerous, still loud, still demanding — forever beautiful, forever Tomcat.

— Heatblur Simulations

The DCS: F-14B Upgrade is available as an expansion for existing owners of DCS: F-14A/B Tomcat, and is also available together with the base Tomcat module as part of the DCS: F-14 Ultimate Edition, currently at $98.99 USD for a limited time. The Ultimate Edition brings together the complete Heatblur Tomcat experience, including the F-14A/B, F-14B Upgrade, JESTER AI, multiplayer pilot/RIO functionality, Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, A-6 AI aircraft, AIM-54 Phoenix, LANTIRN, multiple Tomcat variants, five campaigns, and the largest mission set Heatblur has ever delivered.

Pre-order at $49.99 USD from either the DCS E-Shop or the Heatblur Store, and be ready to experience the Tomcat’s next chapter.

With our most sincere thanks to the Tomcat community - you all made this journey possible.

Yours sincerely,

Heatblur Simulations
