F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

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.

it would be nice to have it firing 1 of each and esp with the counter measure salvo (1-4 setting in matches u can change) can work as the control panel at RIO seat

Cool for the f14B I use the 3 bol pods 250 flare 220 chaff(the flare runs out faster then the chaff) and 60 regular flare because it shots one regular flare out then the bol pod flare and then it repeats

yak 141 got ers which it couldnt use so this would be fine

The Yak 141 got a l o t of things it didn’t use irl.

Like irst + radar.

because it is a prototype aircraft

just like the kikka

if you complain about the yak you also have to complain about the kikka having a gun

I must voice my staunch opposition whenever the subject of equipping the F-14D with AMRAAMs.

My reasoning is that a properly implemented AIM-54, though still not a ‘dogfight’ missile, would be vastly good in a PvP situation. Furthermore, the AIM-54 is the very essence of the F-14.

yup.
And the:
Ho-229 using engines it never used.
Arado C3 Carrying bombs
XP-50 Having guns
J7W1 having guns

and that is okay becasue they are all prototype aircraft
