[@juggernaut3373]

I just got into DCS recently and just discovered this trailer. I'm a former F-14 pilot and was amongst the last squadrons to "Last Time Baby" bring out beloved Cats in and transition to the F/A-18F. The 18 is a wonderful airplane but the Tomcat is by far the greatest and vastly superior in many ways and in many missions. The F-14D "Super" Tomcat, was the last variant and the one I flew from a young 23 years of age. I was in high school when Top Gun came out and I made it my mission in life to not only do whatever it took to become a Naval Aviator but to get pipelined into fighters for the sole purpose of flying the Tomcat. The Hornet was already in operation but I had zero interest in it. I won't get drawn into the debates over Tomcat verses Hornet because as any Naval Aviator from my era and even now knows as fact, the Navy has regreted the Tomcat's "retirement" from day one. The F-14D was perfection and the product of learning from F-14A and on. Nothing protected the fleet like the Tomcat and everyone knows this. I consider Dick Cheney a dirtbag of the highest order for being the driving influence to get the Tomcat cancelled. If a lesser idiot had been in his position at the time, we would have advanced variants of the Tomcat flying today. I have friends at Northrop Grumman and they still have the designs for the F/A-14F Advanced Super Tomcat in the system. I pray that a miracle will see the Tomcat rise from the ashes and be reborn. This video, literally brought tears to my eyes. The depictions within shows what we were trained for - all out war with the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union. An alternate reality of what might have been and should have been in my opinion. I'm getting this module setup most ricky tick. Thank you Heatblur! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@MsRifle]

How do you find the F14 handle in DCS? I know the F14A/B, as modelled in DCS, uses an older system, but is it something you had to get used to?

The day has come my friend 'cause this is war It's time and this is war It's time and this is war War Light another wick Better make it quick We ain't got alot of time 'cause the powers that be Don't want us free So they gotta dull our shine But when the dust settles in They're gonna pays for their sins I've made up my mind Gotta stand side by side As we drag all the lies To the tables for sacrifice It's time and this is war It's time and this is war War

One thing I would like to see more resources of all types invested in, in DCS, is aircraft damage simulation. It must be impossible to get right, the possibilities are literally endless. But at the moment, its really jarring the moment an aircraft is hit by ordnance. The rest of DCS is so immersive and accurate, that it highlights how simple (comparatively) the damage modelling is, with entire slabs of the airframe sometimes just disappearing with an explosion over the top. Hitting your enemy is the most satisfying thing; getting closer to visual accuracy on that would be SO satisfying. I know its a chaos-type modelling problem. I would just suggest that processing/memory resource could be taken from other things just to improve this a little, for a massive amount of increased user enjoyment.

The F-14B released yesterday since this post. Got a few hours of flying in and I gotta say, it is the best DCS plane i have flown thus far. Have flown the A-10C Warthog and F-18 Hornet and this is the easiest plane to fly. everything is laid out nicely and cold start is assisted by Jester and so no need of searching for flight manuals to just start up the plan. With the help of Jester and experimenting around the cockpit, I have learned faster in the F-14 than I have with the A-10C and F-18. those two on day one of me flying would take an hour to just start up the plane and still have not figured out half the weapon systems on them. My favorite Plane by far is the Tomcat and I don't see myself using the F-18 anymore XD and the 37 thumbs down are "Mig-28"s getting the bird and their pictures taken by inverted F-14Bs XD

"You never had a choice They're knocking at your door" whilst F-14 footage plays in the background - oh the irony x)

[@robertphillips2983]

It's even more ironic this day 13th December 2020

That slow motion shot where the 29 is fireing the 30 mil and the Tomcat is dodging with a rudder roll...I got goosebumps man! This trailer made me get into DCS even though I swore I would never touch a module base money milking sim ever.

[@MagzGTV]

Very nice guys!

F14 Tomcat forever #1 of years 80's 💪👊✌
