[@ArmedVeteran1987]

Bro I got a question. I'm an Aces High 3 pilot. Why wouldn't you climb when he was flaps down lower and slower than you. Going to a vertical when he was inverted taking shots at you. I Think you probably had the power to climb better than him making him stall. I do that with the war birds and must of the time end up with them at the 12 after they stall.

'Snort' Snodgrass took on 3 F-5E Tigers in a 1v3 in 1984 with his F-14A Tomcat. He "gunned" each of them down. More than it speaking to Tomcat's ability, it was how insanely talented 'Snort' was/is.

[@15Indianajon]

Question regarding the use of full flaps on the F14. I have tried it a couple of times but I don't find that its gives any particular advantages? It especially doesn't out way the disadvantages it causes such as making energy recovery harder and I find that the roll oscillations seem to increase once deployed. On here both you and Longshot seem to use it quite a lot, am I missing something? I tend to find that keeping the energy management between 400 and 250 knots works a treat for me and I can keep on top of the majority of aircraft, is the issue that I am staying too fast/slow? Or is it more a personal preference? Any help would be greatly received. Great to see you back, especially with an F5 vs F14 vid.

[@jotabe1984]

Man you put up a pretty good fight on such an inferior aircraft. Nevertheless still good luck that cat didn't have Phoenix XD

[@JETZcorp]

The F-5 imo is one of the best planes at defeating the Phoenix. Because it has zero BVR capability, there's no temptation to do something stupid like going high and fast. The F-14 and Phoenix both have a HUGE notch filter, so it's easy for an F-5 to drop off the scope and close range. And due to the small size, it's likely that you'll be able to remain unseen and simply drive around the side of him. That's the same basic sort of tactic that even an Eagle wants to use 1v1 against a Tomcat, but in something like that it's tempting to pop out of hiding and lob some missiles. The F-5 pilot will just disappear at 80mi and never be heard from again until Jester calls the incoming missile. It's great fun.
