F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

channel loss can happen on both air intakes and exhaust how you get channel loss is from changing the direction of moving air so things with TVC will have high channel loss on there exhausts

the less you move the air around the better

Oh okay thank yall

been playing f14s exclusively and ngl, whilst both are not very fun the f14b is pretty much unplayable right now, also i remember aim54s being better against multipath but the vast majority of my aim54s get multipathed with no damage

This is right? I cant create a loadout with 4x AIM-7Fs in the central pylons + 2x AIM-54 in the exterior ones

Yeah they nerfed that like of last year someone reported and it got changed to it not being able to carry that anymore

Yup unfortunately.

Harrier has none.

The channel loss on the Pegasus engine was some 200 lbs of thrust less when installed and pointing the nozzles at 90 degrees.

really good intake design next to no intake basically and the auxiallry air intakes help a lot

As do they boundary layer doors.

Cats can squeeze into the tiniest gaps— That’s true for both the F-14 fighter jet and the animal kind

bring back upgraded legacy hornet as an A-4/A-7 type and replace F/A-18E with F/A-XX, then use upgraded F-35C’s like F-4J’s

You can’t have multiple planes in the same message you need to make separate messages for each one. Otherwise it won’t count.

Tbh I don’t think we need compression as more of we need decompression also giving the F-14A aim7m with aim9L and F-14B aim7mh or aim7P with aim9m
