Yeah the writing is on the wall at this point with the leak increasingly being more correct minus whatever the PSN only thing was and the new decal
I cant say im surprised though with the F-4S being a premium as well
not all, there’s quite a few sitting in museums as well as 3 getting pulled from a boneyard and at least 1 F-14D to be restored to flight, its already passed senate, at some point (can’t find it, and this is not coming from me) trump claimed that he would pass it if it landed on his desk, so we are just waiting for it to pass house

I have said since the F-4 and they removed missile diamonds back seaters should be able to see missile diamonds from the rear quarter as in ACM that is there job. Keep eyes on the bandit and observe launches.

@ItzMikeyzWRLD-psn Do you know if the F-14B FM is underperforming? I’ve got some goober on discord telling me the F-14 FM is uber nerfed, specifically with upgraded engines.

It’s not insanely nerfed and is only lacking in a couple areas, most are extremes like top speed and peak AoA. It’s surprisingly a very grounded flight model that’s good once you understand it. The only thing I would say is “ubernerfed” is speedbleed and AoA when full swept, as in real life it would pull very hard more like the current F-15E and EFT, but lose a bit more speed, especially at lower altitudes as snort displayed a lot.
This would drastically increase the F-14s instantaneous turnrate without any other flightmodel changes taking place.
He most likely doesn’t know the full extent of the F-14 FM and just stalls and dies

HIs knowledge probably spans to the extent of the F-14 “Cobra” and that’s about it.
I know that they’re super scary to fight in sim, I’ve seen one outrate a rafale.
