Reminds me of the AI response for “how many USB ports does my motherboard have” that used to tell people to “keep themselves safe” until google personally went and nuked that.
“AI”, or rather more accurately, Spicy autocorrect is a terrible source and an even worse researcher.
Just had pizza :)
and also managed to completly derail this thread
jealousssssss
Indeed, it has many abilities designed with intent to distract humans.
Here’s a F-14 picture to get things back on topic.
Holy shit, thank you
I know this is a meme, but people don’t understand that the F-14 wasn’t as spin-happy as people made it out to be. The airframe itself is very stable like the F-15. However, when you mix asymmetrical thrust into the mix, things change. High AOA, low speed, departing from flight maneuvers were soft spots, but still controllable. It’s when the thrust is cut from one of those spread apart engines that yaws the aircraft into a spin. Besides that, the lifting body made it great for that type of maneuvering.

I got a photo of the cockpit of F-14A late, which is much cleaner.
Probably the most clear photo that can be found on Google.
And yes, you can see AN/ALR-67 display on cockpit.

Hey guys, does the radar showing negative miles on PD Mode mean it’s able to detect behind it, or is it something else?
It’s PDV mode
Targets are shown as a function of closure rate, not range
It’s definitely not able to track behind itself. Fighter radars are front-facing only. It’s probably because you were in a lookdown position.
Edit: What Sudo said
MMMMMMM So dont use that mode I presume? also I don’t use radar missiles very often
Try to use normal PD not PDV. For long range, (30km+) use TWS HDN. Close up, use ACM. Between 25-12km use PD HDN.
PDV mode gives you a little more range (203km vs 167km against a 5m^2 target) but that’s irrelevant on WT maps, and it has iffy IFF
