CityBFM

Was Heatblur like "We're gonna completely take the flaps away above 225kts, make it a lot draggier, and significantly decrease TWR at slow speeds just to top it all off and make this update a real peach..."?

What a no-chill non sciency thing to say in such a sciencyish environment. that wasn't very sciency of you bruther. Do I need some kind of official standing to say "I don't know, man...I'm not sure about this guy or any of the stuff he's saying..." after I watch a youtube video?

I'm my intellectually disabled opinion it's odd that GR and GS are considered legitimate sources and held in such high esteem within this sacred house of learned doctors

Quick question. Was F110 thrust increased or decreased? Was airframe drag increased or decreased?

I think I remember watching the first installment of this and vaguely remember thinking "this doesn't seem like anyone is really fighting too hard to see if any of this actually works" but again, I'm a insufferable detestable piece of trash that's not well read, socially developed, or intellectually developed enough to carry on any kind of conversation and is overall unworthy to even interact with anyone on these forums in an capacity

yeah sorry man. my apologies for skepticism/questioning viability(what a detestable insufferable cretin I am) of information/content regarding the HBF14 from grim reapers and growling sidewinder that are either released prior to September-November 2020 OB update which is when an absolute paradigm shift in the HBF14B's performance not even remotely in a good way occurred on on my end(or everything else around it changed around me when I was flying in it). And/or also my skepticism of GS because he posts videos flying a PakFa, F22, F35, Su30, Rafale, EF2K mod and makes a clickbait titled video with it like it's an "officially licensed Rafale vs EF2K module dogfight" in DCS then says in fine print it's a mod or just overall vibe I get from his content that it's all canned versus whatever opponent he can find, prop up as a quality opponent, and beat. Not arguing the success of either channel. Clearly GR and GS both established a brand of content, have a large following, and large audience with the sponsorships they pull, but I have a hard time buying in to any of the info in their videos.

don't link be growling sidewinder videos either don't send me links of growling sidewinder videos either

grim reapers isn't credible dude, plus when was that made? 3 years ago? if it wasn't made in the past 3-6 months there's little to no useable info in it. even if "the tomcat hasn't changed and lines up with EM charts better than every other DCS module ever made" something is different and it's not being accounted for in videos that are 3 years old

To be completely honest, if someone actually made a "1v1 guns BFM in HBF14B on dcs world public multiplayer dogfight servers for dummies" that was a 10 ep youtube instructional series made by someone credible streamed live in the wild of public DCS dogfight servers with producer/instructor under a pseudonym flying versus whatever rando is in the server(without affiliation or colluding with server admins, the respective socmed communities associated with server, or opponents on the server) and then recorded and posted on yt that some lowly piece of worthless uninformed clueless garbage like myself could use/apply and have it actually work and making them less of a worthless uniformed clueless garbage piece of trash I'd be pretty stoked on that content

I was just asking questions. and again, I'm clearly not socially or intellectually developed enough to operate on the elite level of everyone else here or carry on any kind of discussion about anything

What an insight. Have you considered becoming a instructor at red flag? There's so much dense actionable profound information here.

sorry man. I'm stupid garbage. I lack the vulcan logic and 1 million IQ like everyone else here. I just want to know how to not be trash at 1v1 guns BFM in the F14B again and stop losing in less than 60 seconds every single fight no matter what I do like I do now every session I fly then the having to cope with the self loathing of being so bad at something I used to think I was alright at (even though in reality I was maybe okay-ish at on my best day in the best/META module)

glad you're having a good time. welcome to the party. thanks for pointing this out. appreciate the feedback. all constructive criticism (or just outright personal attacks) are welcomed

how was I supposed to react to a reply like "or you could just git gud"

Then I spend the night laying awake in bed trying to think of all the reasons for this to be the case now when it seemed less so before. Usually my major suspicions are: 1. I just suck more now 2. some aspect of (a) flight model(s) have changed that I completely missed the boat on 3. "house always wins" as far as the server/mission/admins 4. some kind of improbable(not impossible to rule out) "the world is conspiring against me" theory 5. all of the above

There's a lot of sensei-isms to unpack here

There's a lot of, "This is dumbfounding. I don't ever recall losing this much this quickly and overall just being this bad..."

As hard as this is to users here to comprehend, I actually have considered that I'm just absolute trash at 1v1 guns BFM. I usually do for hours or days following every session of 1v1 guns BFM I fly in multiplayer. So that's entirely a possibility. If developers of other modules are making wild speculations and projections about areas of their flight models no one knows anything about, where is the "scholarly scientific discourse and lobbing of citations from various sources of official documentation" refuting the claims of their accuracy or just lots of screaming, crying, and gnashing of teeth about it?

how daddy? plz make series of youtube tutorials esplain how to do so Please make a 10 ep YT series titled: "How to win 100% of your 1v1 high aspect guns only BFM engagements in public DCS multiplayer dogfight servers in the Heatblur F14A & F14B Tomcat versus anyone in any module just like near_blind does for mentally and intellectually disabled people named CityBFM"

Hey you know I guess the entire seemingly sizeable population of Tomcat tribalists adamant about the F14 being superior to its contemporaries and successors in nearly every or every capacity/metric/function completely vaporized into thin air and I should just pound sand and go fly the Viper though...

Clearly I'm not claiming to be an expert based on a previous comment I posted, as previously stated I'm now atrocious ghastly terrible at 1v1 guns bfm in the F14B where I was formerly less terrible before. I'm just trying to piece it all back together and figure out where the schism occurred and how to remedy it. FRFR about the same amount of research and validation goes into national network news stories. I was just acting based on the current standards

I'm not claiming to be an expert in any capacity. I'm just asking questions. I come to these forums to learn because the most reasonable informed intelligent fun to interact with people in the entire world are always on internet forums some guy on the internet said it was an oversight and I took it and ran with it. so apologies for that. I was under the impression you could believe everyone and everything on the internet, which I also read on the internet. I guess maybe I need to reconsider that information.

Are you're saying it would be statistically impossible for there to be any sort of "simism" or whatever the term is for something to happen in a public DCS multiplayer server where a major offering is high aspect 1v1 guns BFM that a pilot in real life would maybe never train for or possibly have limited experience with because of SOPs, regulations, etc that are at the very least highly optional in such a server?

Do you have an idea of how much time he/her/they/them spends flying DCS 1v1 high aspect guns BFM on public multiplayer dogfight severs?

Even if it never happened on real operational USN Tomcats, I wondered why the option wasn't available for the HBF14. You could probably say ~the same thing about USN legacy Hornets, rarely ever or never have pylons removed(which I assume are also part of F18's aero profile) and at least have 1 bag equipped on all sorties, yet I still 1v1 guns against light and slick F15s, F16s, F18s and occasionally the M2KC or the Flanker every session I fly 1v1 guns in public dogfight servers and the HB Tomcat is nothing anywhere near what it was prior to Augsut-November 2020 OB updates in a turn fight or energy retention/regeneration and I don't particularly enjoy getting my head caved in/losing 0-15 to Mirages, Flankers, F15s, F16s and especially F18s when I fly the F14B. I was just looking to see if there's anyway to decrease the disadvantage I have in the F14B based on the way it is in current build of OB and based on the admins of BFM servers seeming to want to put the F14s in their missions in a less than ideal configuration for 1v1 high aspect guns bfm relative to the other 4G contemporaries in the mission.
