[edit] Description
The F-14D Super Tomcat was designed from the F-14A. The reason for this new variant was because of unreliable engines. This led to the F-14D. The Super Tomcat uses the more capable General Electric F-110-400 engines, a more powerful engine compared to the Pratt & Whitney TF-30 engines used on the F-14A. The F-14D Super Tomcat is the most modified version of the F-14 Tomcat Family. Aptly called the Super Tomcat, it is able, in real life, to intercept up to 6 targets at once using the the powerful APG-71 Radar, and the accurate AIM-54C Phoenix missiles. It served with distinction in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and in Iraq during it's brief career,retiring on September 22, 2006.Only 55 airframes were actually built by the Northrop Grumman for the U.S Navy,which most of them are rebuilds from previous F-14A Tomcat and F-14B Bombcat airframes.The BAE SYSTEM,the British corporation, was producing the F-14D Super Tomcat for British Royal Navy to accelerate the speed of Tomcat.The British Royal Navy F-14D Super Tomcat was armed with Rafael Shafrir II and used during war in pacific campaign against Confederate State Communist Of America, Belkan war, and Circum Pacific war.

[edit] Trivia
In Ace Combat 5, when chasing after the ace Zipang in Narrow Margin, if you look closely, it's notable that the F-14D actually can drop off a flare-- follow the jet from behind, then proceed to fire a missile. If lucky, the target will drop a chaff in an attempt to fool it, but it's most likely that the projectile will quickly ignore the chaff and head for the main target.
