F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

the cost of that would be pretty insane, hell im extremely doubtfull the f14 could even house so much tech not even made for a completely different aircraft by a completely different nation with different standards

I didn’t get it from you.

Yeah it’s surely cheaper just to get an su-35 that actually has all that stuff already integrated instead of integrating that stuff of 50 year old air frames

F14 is beyond dead ive basically given up on its beyond dead cause the community has forsaken it

the iranian tomcat doomed it

Mhmm lol

The biggest issue I’ve seen with the tomcat is the people who fly it.

They all seem to be lacking all but 1 brain cell.

yeah its all the monkeys who got a F18C early or F4S flying it

the F14 is the most outdated 13.0 by far its been powercrept into oblivion

You know the 13.0 Sea Harrier exists right. Still doesn’t have its IRL flight model or the ability to VIFF.

Here we go I rest my case.

Splash 3 F-14

id honestly would pick that over the F14B 3RD gen fox-3 planes are missile buses and usually have good missiles i loved the F4FICE so it probably be the same

Sub sonic missing 35% of its thrust and 50% of its lift

only gets 4 missiles. no gun.

to be fair gun fighting is rather rare and i wouldnt use that platform as a dogfighter either way

4 aim 120Bs or 2 aim120Bs and 4 9Ms is a good load out for the br it probably have similar plays style to the F1C

With only 60 CM then

compared to Mach 2+ 6 odd missiles and a vulcan

are you coping this hard?

speed isnt everything unless your BVRing you dont really need it this is support fighter really

not saying its good at its br but it physically cant go lower without removing its kit

wait for the furballs to start and fire your missiles you have a good chance of catching a few

its just one of those planes that just doesn’t have a place having aim120s at its br makes it far less painful cause when fired at right place and time they always hit

also theres a million other 13.0s that are 15X better than both the F14B and FA2 1 plane doesnt justify 2 planes suffering

would be kinda funny tho, give it al-41s with TVC while we are at it lmao

im a big fan of this guys explanation of it

I’ve treated the Fakours as basically just SARH first, ARH second, and hard lock most of my opponents. The one good thing about the Fakour is that there is so much thrust to the missile. there will be times I will fire high off boresight shots so I can force the missile into a giant turn where it will come at the enemy from a different angle.
