Just remember, the Hunter F6, a subsonic that turns worse than nearly every other aircraft in game, carrying no flares or rwr, and with rear aspect only missiles that are only effective at 1km or less, faces the F14. Balance.

SRAAMs

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@swegme5005 Even if you believe the myth that they can't be dodged, SRAAMs are 1km max range, less if they're flying away from you. They attract to flares harder than most other missiles, and don't even guarantee a kill if they hit. The Fucking A10 is lower with all aspect aim 9L's and enough ordnance to send half the other team back to hangar. Not to mention that at least that has a defensive trick up it's sleeve with its turn rate. In the hunter you've got to hope nobody on the other team notices you and someone fucks up and pulls infront if you at low speed without noticing you.

Fun fact Phly, the reason you had trouble landing the Tomcat is actually authentic. The real thing had something called 'DLC' (Direct Lift Control) which was basically spoilers that were used to deliberately reduce lift so the Tomcat would actually go down, without it those massive wings and huge body that all produce a ridiculous amount of lift make it very hard to land

If I remember correctly, my father told me our enemies called the Abrams the whispering death, because it was so much quieter than a diesel engine. More or less steady sound with hardly any reving when changing speed or gears especially. He was an Abrams commander from '89 - '95 in the Armored Cavalry.

[@yesyes-om1po]

@Tearjerker A more consistent loud sound is harder to detect than an inconsistent quieter sound, imagine a constant hum, now imagine loud banging and rattling that has periods of no sound followed by loud bangs, even if those bangs are technically quieter than the constant hum, your brain interprets the loud banging as louder, and easier to pick out.

[@InterstellarTaco]

@Tearjerker it is quieter. By a large margin. About 10 years ago I was in Germany training with Germans, British, Polish, and Bulgarians. The Leopards, Challeys, and T72's were significantly louder than the Abrams, even up close. That comes at a cost though with insane fuel consumption.

My dad was a corpsman during the 1990s and early 2000s when the F-14s were still in service. He said that he used to watch the Tomcats take off all the time from the Roosevelt, along with the EA-6B Prowler and many other amazing aircrafts. He did say that the F-14 did take bombs once in a while to drop on Iraq(I think Iraq). I’m unsure on how often they used dumb bombs and on which variant of the F-14 my dad saw use it.

[@AA-xo9uw]

The F-14D carried PGM iron nearly - if not absolutely - exclusively. Not many unguided munitions being hung anymore.

[@cosmo212]

Phly, in the beginning just after the sponsor you said that the F 14 did not have as good of accuracy bombing compared to other aircraft like the F 18. This is quite the contrary to what was happening towards the end of tomcats career. The Bombcat was an incredibly successful air to ground platform, and even was able to complete missions the hornets could not. For example operating deep inside iraqi territory, whereas hornets wouldn't have the fuel to get there, and being able to carry more ordinance than the Legacy Hornets. From my understanding a reason why Tomcats werent used in the air to ground role before the late 90's is because they already had a dedicated air to ground platform known as the A-6 Intruder. When the A-6 was retired it left a gap in the Navy's ability to launch specific strike missions, missions where the Legacy Hornets could not complete. So they quickly and hastily created the bombcat and found it to be a very good air to ground platform. Love your content, keep it up.

[@shoeby9273]

cool story about the guy who designed the targeting pod for the F-14 but i dont remember where i heard it from. they wanted to dump a few billion into the F-14D and he just designed his own targeting pod with no engineering experience or nothing and they accepted it instead. could be getting that wrong.

[@Solidboat123]

@@shoeby9273 They re-worked the USAF's LANTIRN pod which had already been developed for the Strike Eagle. Mainly by installing a GPS unit into the targeting pod, which allowed them to dispense with the second navigation pod. I think the money thing basically came down to a choice between a targeting pod and AMRAAM - there wasn't enough funding for both (sadly). There's an episode on the "Tomcast" series on youtube about LANTIRN, where they had on one of the guys involved in the technical side of integrating the pod, might be the one you're thinking of

[@zockersau2]

Yes. The Tomcat actually did not have any Air-to-Ground capability until they were refitted in the '90s

[@180791sanguinius]

@@zockersau2 It did, though. The F-14 was designed from scratch with a strike capability as it was supposed to serve with the Marines too. This never materialized and the Navy had no reason to turn its sole superfighter to a strike platform when it had the awesome A-6/A-7 combo. USN F-14 units were FAD/AS-oriented with tactical reconnaissance being the only secondary role until the early to mid-90s. The Iranians were the first to utilise the strike capability of the F-14 in combat, IIRC.

[@ndcentral8194]

@@180791sanguinius From my understanding, the F-14 was then retired because the USN had enough Super Hornets that could fly further and do just as good as the F-14 is ground striking capabilities, and with no need for a dedicated interceptor, it’s usefulness ran out. Too expensive operating cost for not enough utility in return.

That gauge next to the top left of the VDI is your airspeed. At high speeds the dial reads mach and has a small IAS ticker in the corner. But at low speeds the dial reads IAS. To the left of the HUD there’s a landing speed indicator. If it points up you’re going too slow and vice versa. Below that there’s a big AOA indicator.

[@Jezza_C_WT]

I would love an air mode without markers. The markers are why I pretty much only fly out in GRB. Of course the massive expanse of air maps would be a problem with no markers, but if there was some kind of objective that got everyone into a close enough vicinity then that might help that issue. Like maybe have it that strike aircraft get a high RP and SL payout for taking out AI ground targets, and that would incentivise fighters to attack the strike aircraft, and protect their own ground units as well as fight off other fighters. Or maybe even have it that one side has a ground force and their job is to protect it, and the other teams objective is to wipe it out to win. Either way I think air RB definitely needs a refresher.

[@emmata98]

[@therealtigor]

The comment you made about the AGM-88, would bring some balance to the AA bc they wouldn't have their radar online all the time anymore.

Ripple isnt used for missiles, its a term for releasing bombs or rockets in quick succession. Fox 1 is for semi active radar guided missiles, fox 2 is for heat seaking missiles and fox 3 is for active radar guided missiles. There used to be fox 4 as well for guns, but now they just say guns. The Phoenix missile uses a doppler radar guiding system. Doppler radars can only see things that are moving away or towards them. Im not sure if that is modeled in game, but if it is, all you need to do to avoid the missile is fly horizontal to the direction its heading. No flare or chaff required.

On-Board Oxygen Generations System (OBOGS) AN/APG-71 radar with additional upgrades ported over from the AN/APG-70 used on the F-15E. Expanded range and capabilities over the original AN/APG-71 in F-14D, which itself was an outgrowth of the AWG-9. Digital Flight Control System (DFCS). Wet wing pylons capable of carrying 300-gallon external tanks. Ability to carry 425-gallon external tanks on nacelle hardpoints if it was developed. Existing tank size 280 gallons. Larger multi-segmented fowler-flaps. Enlarged and extended slats on wing leading-edge. Bring-back to ship capacity increased from 9k lbs to 16k lbs.

[@hybridscout0134]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't designed for bombing. it was a navy interceptor. hence the radar and Phoenix. It became a bomber as it was being phased out. (Iran and money problems I believe) the tomcat definitely has the same accuracy of the F-18 because they both have CCIP bomb modes and both have targeting pods.

[@uninvestigated]

Before the targeting pod was active on the f14 they were not allowed to fly unguided bomb sorties as they would often over shoot the target by a lot and was a liability. But yeah later down the road they got the LANTIRN pod and were quite capable in ground attack and could even designate targets for f18s. The f14 seemed to have lost its funding due to personal political interests as Dick Cheney seemed to dislike Grumman. Even canceling the F-111 development. Canceling the f14 has left a huge gap in our navy's ability in air to air and interception fleet defense. But i guess air superiority hasn't been needed anyway.

[@brandonclark435]

Eh, if you look at the Navy request that started the Project, it was intended to have ground attack capability. It's mission was much broader, ranging from Fleet Air Defense to escorting attack aircraft to dropping air to ground stuff.

[@uninvestigated]

@@brandonclark435 Dick Cheney single handedly put Grumman out of business pretty much. Grumman came up with two different proposals for upgraded f14s that would have filled the role perfectly. The first was the quick strike platform that was just upgrading the existing platform, They said it wasn't enough and the platform was "1960s technology" pretty much a lame excuse because any of it's problems could have easily been addressed and fixed by Grumman. So the next proposal was the super tomcat 21and was a totally redesigned new airframe, and that proposal was too much this time. It's known across the navy and military leaders that the retiring of the tomcat left a void in it's effectiveness in fleet defense. The f18 lost to the f16 for the air force role. It was too slow. Non afterburner Cruse was only 600nmph and it's range was very poor. Then compared to the f14, the f14 was faster and more agile in every aspect with a much greater range. It was obviously cheaper on the other hand. Only with the addition of the super hornet did we get the range back. But they effectively were mainly used as an air refueling role for the normal hornet because of it's poor range. But hey it paid off not funding a new naval interceptor because it hasn't been needed luckily.

[@Solidboat123]

Grumman always intended the F-14 to be a multi-role fighter as well as a fleet defence interceptor, they even wired all the Tomcats for air-to-ground from the start. The only reason it didn't happen for so long is that the Navy didn't want/need to spend the time and money developing the capability, since they already had several attack jets on deck (A-4, A-6, A-7 and the F-4), plus they wanted the F-14 to focus on fleet air defence as it was a fairly significant step-up from the F-4

Hey Phly, Im thinking of suggesting the NR-349 Retaliator interceptor variant of the RA-5C Vigilante. It was projected to have Mach 2.5 speeds and it was supposed to carry 6 AIM-54s. It is a paper-ish vehicle but I think it would be fun and I mean we have the E-100, the Maus, and so many other Wunderwaffes not just from Germany. And It would probably go after the F-4E in the tech tree.

[@wolfpack7340]

that cat broke after it sent you off that deck also warthunder should put in the b variant as a premium

[@anunknownperson7502]

Hey phly there is a new centurion sound. It sounds deeper when you are in gunner mode also it’s quieter outside.

[@BallisticAero]

I love the moments where Phly doesn't talk and it's just the game and the music because I love trying to imagine the expressions he's having on his face through all the times he's taking agm and tank shell fire from every which way without dying

[@SergiulGaming]

fun fact, it was actualy showing at cockpit that you had bad approach to the carrier!

[@airsoftstuff1753]

I’m so glad to have been here watching this channel for as long as I have. And watching little banks grow

[@leoponka]

this was 10 months ago and this update we will be getting f-14b bombcat NICE

[@Mursi12345]

16:20 you are like a 8 year old kid at christmas I love it

[@L.Pondera]

I always wanted Air RB without the markers. It would be like sim, but you could still see teammates and weren't trapped in the cockpit.

Got a couple shirts in the mail the wife ordered for Father’s Day. Can’t WAIT for those to come in.

[@Jacob_war]

10:20 phly staring at the altitude witch is right underneath the speed but he can't find the speed gauge. lol :D

[@stoops417]

Just wait till we get the REAL Bombcat in the F-14B with the LANTIRN pod!

[@Godofchaosdragons]

Nothing has the tools to counter a F-14 except 5th gen aircraft.

[@Mornomgir]

erhmagurd! a vid with the f-14 and not even a snippet of Kenny Loggins!

[@DevinLanceLewis]

[@isitnick249]

I love your content, mate. I recently got war thunder and I'm loving it.

[@thesmerelajiah2805]

Now, make sure to take breaks, this game can be frustrating.

[@isitnick249]

@@thesmerelajiah2805 haha, already ahead of you lol

[@SoggyKatnip]

Been playing this game for 6 years, vehicle combat can be both extremely fun and challenging with lots of depth unlike things such as r6s, in my opinion. Hope you have fun :)

[@Rio_SenpaiYT]

man i remembered the days when i start the game..i was so excited, hope you enjoy!

[@ab.990]

The timing of this video immediately after watching Top Gun Maverick

[@Endorphins27]

Killer flank Phly! Keep it up brother.

[@nolanmosher784]

Gotta thank that turms for the epic save and sacrifice

[@warbird1e1]

The bombcat was a real thing 🤣

[@Daveed69]

Phly, after you use the new vehicles, you should try the a4b and/or the a4e for CAS, its armament is quite fun to use at its tier.

[@adamg7984]

The very best episodes of PhlyDaily are when Steve thinks he's a goriller.

[@Jammybee]

Haven't played WT in a while. That flight model is hilarious.

[@thefunnymonkey7144]

You should do a battle with the top gun scenario like the Battle of Britain

[@phoenixtm1537]

5:45 Phly sounds like he's watched too much top gun maverick
