True, but for how long? My experiences with delta wings in the past have made me wince in that regard.
As I said before, I'm no Tomcat professional, but STR was purported to be the F-14's forte due to the massive lifting surface(s) it possessed. If I was in the front seat of an F-14 and knew that I was about to tangle with someone, I would want every advantage my mount could give me. I just don't see that being possible at full wing sweep, hence the reason I questioned whether or not it would be a sound idea to override the CADC and force the wings to remain at 20 degrees.
As always, if I'm wrong about something then, Tomcat experts, please school me. It's at least half of the reason I visit this forum.
