@ Maunsell Anderson Fleet Defender was great. Still flying it every now and then. Same as Tornado or Jet Pilot (F-104 and BAC Lightning). Sometimes I think these old sims had a better balance between realism and playability. E.g. Tornado campaign versus F4 BMS: in F4 my impact on the overall campaign success is not very obvious. In Tornado it feels like my sorties are somewhat important but not too much (other units still need to have success). You can decide to hunt the hunters (Mig-31 and Su-27 / Mig-29) so your ground attack units have an easier life and you would see the impact you made right after the mission (less buddies downed if successful, more downed in case you sucked). Also, you could take out communication lines which leads to better recce results (enemy is using less secure comm lines and you may be able to detect where the enemy leaders hide). DCS has maybe more units but more concentrated around the "path" so it feels much more lifeless overall. Of course when it comes to graphics the old sims can't compete. MFDs in DCS have more pixels than these old sims. Also the flight model (of Tornado) had this "rail" feeling. Nevertheless I liked that you had to manually set flaps / wing sweep, observe max speeds according to flap/wing sweep, had a decent TFR, could hide in cloud layers when heat seekers came in, escape Migs in desperate dives to the deck; the Tornado was much faster while at altitude it could not outrun anything... but fuel consumption was very high and sometimes you had to do dead stick landings.... on a taxi way because the enemy bombed your runway... you could use the Map for visual nav when your MFDs / INS broke down... both pilot and RIO seat simulated... an all that coded not in 10 GB, not in 1 GB, but in whopping 10.9 MB. Sorry, got distracted and off-topic. "Fleet Defender" just triggered some memories. Anyway, DCS F-14 is one of the best modules for me. Will fire it up again after seeing recently GR's tip to "uncurve" pitch and roll axis. Colorado River Run: time to beat is 2:57!
@Tertius_Oculus

Hey man... DI's Tornado is a gem. It has the "rail" feeling when flying, but the physics are actually unimportant since you are using the TFR and autopilot most of the time. Fleet Defender is a gem as well, as is Falcon 3.0, Harpoon etc. these are time-caspules reg. old conflicts like the cold war, flying against the soviet union, using and fighting weapon systems which were state of the art back then without all the electronic fancy stuff. There is so much content in those older sims, makes modern simulations stand in their shadows totally. DCS needs to move away from Sandbox, deliver a dynamic campaign and content instead of focussing too much on "go fly online with others". Seeing all the vids with crazy Rainbow-Six Siege style skins for Hornets etc. ... landing on dams out of boredom... I start to crinch. Some ppl have fun, others still keep away from multiplayer because most of the time it feels to "gamey" or simply don't have the time to go active in an online squad. I'm buying a DCS module for the first time after the A-10C and Black Shark 2 has been released.... => F-14 ofcourse. F/A-18C is the same generation as the F-16C thus are similiar which I flew enough in Falcon BMS so it's an easy no for me. So I need something fresh and new... I had the Viggen (because it's role is similar to the Tornado) and Fishbed (old radar... something totally new reg. sims) on the list but will buy them some other time. I still will keep the older sims active because the feeling being in a war back in time is more worth than the realism delivered with DCS (and ofcourse because of DCS's sandboxnishness). DCS feels too mixed up (some jets lack a counter part available to fly), too much forced to "go online" & "do it yourself", too much sandbox... dead worlds. Dude... your text could've been written by me. BTW... check my DI Tornado video in Operation Desert Storm... going to bomb a runway and tell me when was the last time you saw something like this in other sims (check the comments because you will spot many things happening... like Alarms busting a SAM shortly before you pass the position). kzitem.info/news/bejne/p2ycvKB-ipyLdZg

@Tertius Oculus Nice video... though I always preferred the original maps over ODS. Can't even tell you exactly why. I used to cheat a bit and loaded the AI SEAD Tornados with more than the max real life number of ALARMs (possible due to a bug in the mission planner). That helped a bit to lower the SAM and AAA threat. Do you know "Jet Pilot"? www.angusm.demon.co.uk/AGDB/DBA1/JetP.html British Lightning and F-104s... some very challenging peacetime missions like formation landings. Very complex (for the time) flight model.

Don't know how this aircraft could have been assessed to be 'too expensive' for fleet defence. In my thinking, only if its production, maintenance and training liability exceeded that of a typical 'fleet' then that would be correct. When you consider the cost value of all the personnel, equipment, training, construction etc - Tomcats would have been a drop in the bucket. I reckon the Navy Air wing was simply looking for something newer and 'shiny'. The F14 is still a very capable platform and with upgrades, it would still be a match for many platforms in a variety of configurations.

Great video as always, but around 31.50 when you say the exterior sound is buggy and pauses when the aircraft approaches. Sorry but you are wrong, this is called the Doppler Effect.

@@monkeygruven No. What jaymog writes about is due to the difference betwen the speed of light and the speed of sound. You see something before you hear it. The doppler effect is about the shift in sound frequencies. If a specific sound (pulse) is emitted at a regular pace, the pulses will be received faster and faster when the emitter closes up (because the distance that each sound pulse has to travel will be shorter and shorter). Hence the shift in the perceived frequency. Radars work on that basis. So, a car that runs at constant speed (with an engine sound that would be constant in frequency over the time), will 'sound' higher and higher in pitch when it comes towards you. And it will sound lower and lower in peach when it goes away from you. THAT is the Doppler Effect. I advise you to go and check for other sources of information if you don't believe me (English is not my mother tongue, I could be inaccurate in my explanation). But What jaymog describes is definitely not related to the Doppler effect, and there was a fucking bug related to the sound at the release of the module, if anything.

I think anyone suggesting anything other than the f18 as your first full fidelity plane is gna have a hard time justifying why. that's not to say that the others aren't good. their just usually suite a bit more specialised roles. nothing else in the game right now matches the f18's versatility and probably wont until we get a f15e stike eagle, and even then wont have carrier ops.

Wow they went a little overboard with the aging of the F14. It looks like its 80 years old. I've seen WWII aircraft at airshows that are in much better shape. I get that the F14 was first developed in the 70's, but its had lots of updates and modernization. I seriously doubt that the Navy would allow a plan in this bad shape to stay in the fleet.

In your buyers guide spreadsheet, you have the F14 the highest overall score. Is that still the case?

Yes it is. I am surprised but the tests were done fairly and honestly so it's probably the best plane out there all in all.

First of all, you need to reassess the fuel load requirements for cornering ability testing. I'd suggest finding the three and a half or four minutes full AB at cornering speed fuel quantity values. It can take a while, but it's a much more reliable number, since that's usually enough fuel to get you through a dogfight and back to a nearby runway. And if you say different planes would have different fuel loads remaining prior to entering a dogfight, well... that's what the fuel dump switches are for (apart from landing with a whole lot of bombs on the pylons, that is). And by the way, don't try to calculate the numbers, find them through experimentation. Also, you might want to redo the zero fuel unlimited fuel test. The 3 1/2 min to 0 fuel turning performance numbers would be giving much more insight into fighters capability. Or you could just hang in there until the last drop of fuel and see firsthand how your cornering performance changes burning through all the fuel. "Pure fire and brimstone", sorry, but I'd rather have a "no nonsense" flight model instead of that, thank you very much. Don't want to see DCS turning into arcade garbage because some people just want seeing some aircraft being better performers than others simply because they had certain movies associated with them... It's funny how in Falcon BMS it's the Viper that is the best performer (well, apart from the "magical birds": F-22 and Typhoon), Heatblur's vision is that F-14 is the top dog... and I bet after the JF-17 is out we will learn that it's that aircraft that can eat every other one for breakfast (but at least it's light and nimble, has prominent LERXes and very small wing loading numbers). That's not to mention the Mirage that is also probably a bit more of a fantasy plane than it is close to reality. Why the Tomcat is too touchy with the joy curves? Well, probably because it requires much more finesse exactly closer to the full stick deflection rather than to the center? And with the curves you are ruining exactly that... Human beings are not known to handle non-linear things well and adding MORE non-linearity into the process is asking for trouble. Just add a stick extension to your stick instead if you have problems with fully linear response "curves". My stick is a T.16000M and I still manage to fly everything linearly (even helicopters), so I highly doubt you have THAT much of a problem with your X-56. Or just get a Warthog or one of the VKB sticks. With this many subscribers it's about time you've taken this more seriously...

Was the F-14B bomb dropping and lasing capability added in the 90s or earlier? I was under the impression that it was only the D model that could do multirole.
@alaric3415

To my understanding, the B+(Upgrade) version had these capabilities as well as the A+(Upgrade). Not too sure about the LANTIRN for the A, but multirole was available through all versions.

the F14 was for me good with high speed direct fly into the shit and launch Phoenix for long range. Or go with many bombs.; unfortunately there were always SAM´s . one time i managed to kidden a SAM with these troll gliders and could set some bombs, but that was pure luck, imho.

I am personally against the A model. It's a lot of work for HB to do that they will not get paid for. I support them scrapping the A model. Unless they plan to release it as a separate module?? In which case, why would anyone buy it over the B??

I want the A... would not even hesitate if they would offer it as extra module with extra fee (but it should have a healthy discount for F-14B owners). Agree with Arzhang that they should stick to their advertisement, but also agree with Cap's point of view.. maybe they underestimated the effort it requires to make the A and therefore they cannot make it for free. maybe they could make a F-14B with TF-30 like GE engines (basically: engines with less thrust and a simple stall algorithm ("if under high g and pilot just looks at throttle ==> stall"). Same cockpit / external model (F-14 B prototype with TF-30 engines and GE nozzles.... one small explanatory sentence in the manual, some giant 1000s of coding hours saved for the programmer. Well... it is probably not that easy even in case they would sacrifice quality / fidelity a lot. Anyway, I like planes which are not super superior and have some limitations. They probably suck in open multiplayer but e.g. Mig-21 vs F-14 A would be more balanced than versus the B or even D.

@@slowhornet4802 Dear slow hornet , they must release F-14A and they should do it without extra fee, because it was what they said in their advertisement " F-14A will be released soon after F-14B" they didn't mention any thing about paying for A model, A model has Glove Vane which is the sexiest thing that one fighter can have, and is the only F-14 model that was used in real A/A combat multiple times and only F-14 model which actually scored kills with AIM-54A ( despite engine stall problem and every thing...) , we deserve to have it

@@arzhangsadeghi I agree to everything, especially the vane thing. And of course it would be against their promise / advertisement if they charge extra for the A. I am just not sure if it is feasible. Also, technically they can keep the B in EA forever so they would never have to release the A. If I could chose I would have selected the A model over the B...but best is to have both.
