F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

In-game stats mean nothing, if you try to conduct the same maneuver in the game the aircraft will stall and fail to complete the vertical portion.

The MiG-23, MiG-29, and others also have this problem. They all fail to conduct airshow maneuvers in the game without stalling. Su-27 suffers as well now that I think about it.

Hopefully planes can start getting fixed soon then

Im very interested to see someone replicate this in game and see how it does since we have known statcards are inaccurate for the longest time now

I’ll do it on the weekend if I remember

Gaijin moved the camera back on all F-14’s

All I see now is Ace combat camera

Actually a W change. Hopefully this affects the Zoom mode too?

Wish they would do the same to flankers. Things huge

I dunno about that one, i feel like the zooming out is a little TOO much but personally i wish we could customise it to our own liking

similar to view in cockpits

I think if you turn the sense of flight stuff to the max it’ll Zoom you in more based on your speed and everything, me personally, I like it. See it as somewhat of a way to simulate 2 seaters. We can see a lot more than anyone else now.

I don’t know.

I recently playing Wyvern but, carrier spawns are still broken in prop BR.

lmao still aint fixed either, wake up gaijin

found bug report of it being accepted too

Why would you even do that in current state…

Just for fun but, I don’t play it after major updates.

I play DCS recently tbh.

Question, the F-14’s dispense countermeasures 1 by 1 right? e.g. 1 flare + chaff per pop not x2 (like how it currently does)

IIRC, you can select 1 to 4 chaff/flare pops.

AN/ALR-39 has control panel at RIO seat, you can program how to dispense countermeasures.

An F-14D doing that same maneuver in 16 seconds. Shows the power of the DFCS and GE-F110s.

Edit: Messed up the numbers. Just below 20 seconds. I’ll try to find one better.
