F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

i mean, isnt that exactly why they want the aoa button, so that they can bleed more speed and stall

Not what I’m asking lol.

Like when flying with the mouse and just turning what’s the max AOA the instructor will allow.

probably not exactly
AOA button gives ability to pull a bit more, but also can cause stall.
Aswell you still keep dampening in roll and yaw, which does help with stability a bit

somewhat like 20 deg

depends on speed and wing sweep

with wings in completly:

with wings out:

That’s still pretty good

Players have been using the Tomcat in full-real for years. There are definitely situations where it benefits. I fully agree with Mikey’s argument that having your camera skewed and mouse pointer removed is way more harmful than not having a simple button. The argument that it’s detrimental just doesn’t make any sense.

If it’s just full real with mouse aim, why not give that to more planes to begin with? As a control scheme or anything. This is simply unfair for the planes that don’t get it.

Going to be doing a lot of deep research over the summer for the F-14. My first goal will probably be the radar.

good luck

(you will probably find nothing)

Too bad they are still not modeled PAL modes :/

Was playing the F-14A a while back and noticed this weird thing and decided to forget about it, after couple months I’ve decided to revisit the F-14A and this modelling error is still occurrent. Can someone please tell me whether this is a in-game modelling error or its just the fact I’m going insane?

Is it possible to get TCS(AN/AXX-1) for F-14A Early?

I just checked some footages from AIMVAL/ACEVAL in late 1970s but, I see some F-14A has TCS.

They modeled the F-14A Early from the 1977 SAC, which coincided with the AIMVAL/ACEVAL being done.

Hopefully they add it.

Exactly. They’re literally making stuff up as they go along just to not give anything to the F-14.

It was definitely done, the issue is that this technically occurred later than the arbitrary cutoff ('77 SAC) that Gaijin are using for the “Early” F-14A, in order to give it access to the AIM-9D & -9H (see '74 SAC). We know that the TCS specs at very least predate 1982 (the -A attached to the code indicates that it is the second revision of the document, though I can’t find a date for the initial publication) The ALR-23 IRSTS was optionally able to be mounted so it should have it.

As an aside I do think the ALR-23 should be able to be reported for the -14A, as it is present in the following video, which is from ~1974.
