Nah it’s a pyramid you not listen to NASA 💀

Even going from the F-4J to the F-14 when it was released, it was such a handful to fumble with the radar controls. Suppose that’s why the F-14 irl has a rio, though the F-15C doesn’t have such luxuries. Also, the navy sidewinders absolutely slap. I love sending them at opponents I see attempting to notch, since many think it’s a Sparrow and don’t launch countermeasures (or only got flares)

10:08 this climb was so clean

What makes the F-14A so much more "meta" is its payload. You have 6 BVR capable radar missiles + 2 Heaters. That means that you can dictate the fight at altitudes. The Viper can only carry 2, which means you will have to make them count. Making people defend before the merge dictates the majority of the wins and I can see the Tomcat being competitive even when the Eagles and the Flankers come. Meanwhile my Mirage 2000 cries in the corner.

Hey, I heard about your mouse situation, I must recommend the Logitech G502, it is Absolutely great, it has a button to switch between free spinning wheel and a more ridged spin. not to mention it has plenty of extra buttons that you can bind, not to mention you can manually adjust it's sensitivity on the mouse itself mid game. I find that it's fine adjustment button is great for tracking targets. Sorry for the long comment.

3:10 That F-4E shot a Aim-7E-2 sparrow at the 104. They pull 30g no problem so they’re good for close quarter dogfights.

7:24 yeah the same can happen with max range peonixs like they have to dodge and lose energy or at least have something to thing about when if you didn't they could just do what ever.

Im one of those that grinded the f14 with the f5c and ohh boy let me tell you i only stuggled with it until i unlocked the 7f, and i didnt have any experience at all in top tier i didnt play the f4e or f4j not even those f8. The f14 became a beast when i unlocked those 7f i was -K/D but then quickly rose that to a 2K/D after the 7f. i agree the f14 is one of the best aircraft since it gets 6 of those suckers i experimented with the phoenixes but i just found them very inconsistent after the 11.7 change. But i did know how radar worked and notching as i used to play dcs, and also how to crank.

in the fight vs the viggen i think you can see why i like ec maps right now way more, because if he spams need cover, the team sees him some 50 km away fighting an f14 and by the time they arrive they can search for a body and the f14 has disappeared again, while in the non ec maps that distance is 10km and after the first turn you have 3 enemies on you as you are the only teammate thats spotted

Don't worry, it's not worth it, pure frustration, F16 is so much easier and frees you from radar headpain

The reason the cannon on most fighters is side mounted is for dogfighting reasons. If the gun is only directly in front of you, you can only shoot and hit when your nose is dorectly on the target. It also reduces the amount of work you jabe to do to pull your target into the HUD to take shots. As for your comment about the F-16 having a chance against an F-14, it's significantly more than a chance. The F-14 is a 2-turn fighter. The F-16 is a 1-turn/rate fighter. Something the tomcat would truly struggle to do if the pilot has the skill to do that. Watch a skilled F-16 pilot and see how they fight. They start high and drag you to the ground where they just out turn you and kill your plane. The F-14's ONLY chance in this situation is to offset your turns after the merge. You're gonna jave to earn it. As for you generating lift with the wings out, that's the point. The tomcat also generates 25% of its lift with its fuselage. There's a reason that fighter is as big as it is. It's pretty big. Size of a B-17. To defend against a missile, turn against it. For example, if a missile is on your 9 O'clock, turn towards the missile. If you do this correctly, you'll create a 90° angle against the missile. This is notching. The missile will miss. Every. Single. Time. If someone if 90° to you, don't waste the missile. You'll miss. What wasn't said was how to defend against guns. Jinking OS how you defend against guns in the air. Planned "erratic" movement to confise your enemy and force them to hyper focus on you. If you have friends in the area, to pay them a visit while jinking/notching and jamming the WEZ. Jam the WEZ and you'll survive as long as you and the ground don't get in a fight. The ground is the only undefeatable opponent you face.

What is one of the best ways to go up in tears in props

good to hear! See you in 19 years when I finally unlock it!

i love going in the canyon and peek-a-booing planes so i never get radar locked

Only things I disagree with in this video are that a) imho the phoenix shouldn’t be launched at anything closer than 25km if you want a decent chance of kill(longer flight is better for it), and that the f16, especially the A, absolutely demolishes the tomcat in a fight. It’s not even a contest

3:09 that missle had something personal

0:35 that’s me in the JA37D 🤣

What control is it that lets you switch from one target to another in tws? I always have to do it manually by dragging the radar thing onto the next dot but it looks like you just have a button that does it.

Every time I see a F-14 I'll always TURN ON THE DANGER ZONE

What are your radar settings for the f14? Im like a typical wallet warrior which means I got the F14 but Im only "okay" with it... But Id like to improve which is why I watch Videos and stuff but I wondered how you get that Radar settings you have in the video

F-14 is still really good this patch

Can you make a video on how to play the f14 properly

Anything decent in a dogfight will just wreck a tomcat in a dogfight, also any competent player will not be hit by a sparrow and aim9H are not that hard to flare compared to a 9L

I want the f14 so bad I currently have the first Corsair

It's not about the Aircraft, it about the pilot I have steam rolled the F-14 2 different times in a A-4 Skyhawk.

I use a similar loadout, 2 aim9s, 3 sparrows (either F or E2 depending on map size, F for large maps, E2 for small maps) With that i carry 2 pheonixes since bvr kills are so funny. A couple days ago I got a 40km player kill with it 😂

In my opinion the f-14 is the most powerful jet because of the phoenixes which are the only fox 3 missiles in war thunder, which gives it the ability to shoot a missile at the enemy and then defend instead of warring about delivering the missile to the target, this gives it a massive advantage in bvr fights and if you play right fights under 8km should not happen ( but of course this is war thunder and dogfights do happen quite often, which makes the f-14 even stronger because it is good at them too)

F-14 players are out here playing Ace Combat while everyone else is playing War Thunder.

Idk about the f14 being competitive against top dogs. I've done plenty of tests with equally skilled pilots and the j7e still stomps it no matter what. And the j7e gets absolutely annihilated by the f16 in any type of 2 circle fight.

In my honest opinion, I think its a very overrated plane. The performance is superb but the people who play it, like those in the F-16s and MiG-29 are so used to being top dog with the superb performance of the plane to the point where they become complacent and becoming equally competent in anything else becomes a larger than usual learning curve.
