F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

I guess it would be omega nerf for A models?

What is the current value?

It takes 3-4 sec iirc.

From NASA TM X-71741 TURBOFAN COMPRESSOR DYNAMICS DURING AFTERBURNER TRANSIENTS

This documents focused to TF30-P-3 which was used for F-111A, not TF30-P-412/414 but, still enough for explain how TF30 was so bad…

Ok, update.

For some reason, it’s actually kinda difficult to get official sources that state M2.34 at 12,000 meters. I have bits and pieces saying essentially that, but I never realized they don’t really flat out state that in the docs. I’ll keep searching and the bug report should be up by Saturday/Sunday at the latest.

I don’t know if it counts as a source or anything, but it says some things about Tomcats speed in general.

watch them add this nerf and not drop the BR of it

Hope they give limas for A models honestly.

Also, most peoples in ARB doesn’t care about that because they use full afterburners entire the game.

They were on the nerf insanely quick, as always.

Or give F14A late with 9M and 7P.

7P will launch as 7MH mode btw

I think 7MH will should use in F15. Its USAF 7P.

7MH was used by both USAF and USN afaik.

7Ms with lofting would be fun but, original 7Ms should also loft.

For WT wiki stuffs…

How many AMRAAMs could the F-14D carry?

I always thought they just replaced the sparrows, so 6. But I did also find this pic of a F-14D with Dual Mounted AMRAAMs, so.
