F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

btw
didnt a lot of planes, that got cobra-button, got changes in their stability?
If yes, maybe thats reason why gaijin doesnt want to give it to tomcat?

We’re aware…

yeah. every plane that got the aoa button became less stable and easier to flattspin

Yes. Every plane that for the button got buffs to their low speed characteristics to reflect that. Especially the MiG-29.

That would be even more of a reason, since their concerns about stability they could just fix.

no it were nerfs, they all became less stable

Nice. Around the 2:20 mark it does some real nice maneuvers.

Yeah they are more than capable of doing the classic fighter stuff, its just more common for them to do the hovering stuff as people want to see that at airshows lol.

But there are stories of F-14s flying DACT against Harriers too.

looks like it depends on plane
for example:


J35 got more prone to wing stall
but rafale less prone

I think the Mig-29 gained stability too… I remember it feeling much better for PSMs.

i think for the rafale it looked like a buff because of the drag decrease they did,
so they basically buffed the rafale internaly and applied the stability nerfe afterwards, so it still looked like a buff for us

no they didnt
