F-14AF
扶桑国防海軍の主力艦上戦闘脚。80年代、F-4戦闘脚の老朽化に備え、扶桑国防海軍は艦隊防空専門の要撃機の必要性を示唆した。国産機の開発は当時難航し、有事の際には同じく防衛協定を結ぶリベリオン海軍との、部品・資材の互換性を持つ事も考慮されて、F-14トムキャットのライセンス生産の権利を得ることになった。迎撃シミュレーションでは要求を満たす性能を発揮し、空母航空隊に数十機が配備された。術式以外の基本部分はリベリオン海軍のF-14Aとほぼ同一である。
F-14AF
The Fusou Marine Defense Force's mainstay carrier-based fighter Striker Unit. The FMDF's aging F-4 fleet in the 80s spoke to its need for a modern interceptor unit that specialized in carrier-based operations. Due to the difficulties in developing a solution domestically from scratch, and also taking into account compatibility with the Liberion Navy's units, with whom Fusou had signed a treaty of mutual emergency defense, it was decided to pursue a license for the F-14 Tomcat. Its ability to fulfill their requirements was demonstrated in simulation, and several tens of carrier-based squadrons units were deployed. It's practically identical to the Liberion Navy's F-14A in most respects.
