dosent matter if it cant reach it
when you are in a dive to try reaching that mach speed you will probably hit thl VNE before you hit the critical mach number

At this point, you should find NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1.1 or NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1.1.
Problem is post late 80s manuals are still under of export control sadly.
Isnt theres also similar-ish book for tomcat? Would be funny tbh
IIRC, the source they are relying on is based on test data from F-5Es captured by the North Vietnamese after the Vietnam War.
Some of the values differed from the United States T.O. manuals, but were incorporated in the game because they were “wowowowow aPpRoXiMaTiOnS”.
I mean there is some sort of soviet book about tomcat, which could give similar issues overall
Mmm possibly.
Updated, yes that’s the case.
I assume this is still under of export control…
It’s been used in previous reports. Don’t see why it would be an issue? Both are well over 30 years old.
That’s because NAVAIR manuals from the late 1980s onwards, not just for the F-14, has Distribution Statement C or D written. Mostly, blue/yellow binder or the cover mention about that.
It’s okay if there is a stamp or something indicating on your manual the distribution statement has been downgraded, and just nothing about infos.

They would reject -1A manual :/
Why?
Because it is the manual that contains radar and weapons deployment stuff for the F14 iirc

Does it also have weapon testing info?
Edit: I thought so as long as it’s declassified it can be used?
We don’t know
But probably not, if it is anything close to the f15 weapons delivery manual
It might have stuff about the Hud symbology tho
As far as I know that manual is nowhere to be found on the internet and probably more restricted than the NATOPS manuals
Well on the internet theirs still classified info u can’t use tho
removed reply cuz of misclick :(
-1A manual is just insanely hard to find.
The late 70s A models -1A manual is declassified and allowed to share but, they are nearly impossible to find and NAVAIR doesn’t have physical copy anymore.
Didn’t the f14d have a different hud from the a and b?
So even if it uses the same symbology it can’t be used for bug reporting
Besides the fact that it is restricted
It does.
You can use DTIC ADA208347 from 1987.
They are quite limited from -1 manual but, still enough.
