Choose by role
- Fighter: start here when air-to-air pressure is the main task.
- Attacker: use this role for ground-heavy objectives and close support.
- Multirole: pick a flexible platform when the target mix is uncertain.
- Electronic: support allies and disrupt enemy systems in online team play.
Before a mission, match the role to the objective, then compare available weapons and upgrade parts in the game. The official walkthrough confirms that additional jets use MRP earned in missions and that aircraft can be upgraded with parts.
The preorder F-14A is separate from this main official roster listing. See preorder bonuses for entitlement details and multiplayer for how aircraft roles function online.
