This news makes me very sad, RIP Snort

I think it's important to report that DCS (Open Beta) has a bug who produce sometimes game crashes when the player try to respawn. When the crash occour it's necessary to start again DCS, so, during the tournament, if an F14 pilot disconnect the reason is this bug and it's necessary to wait a couple of minutes to let the player reload the game and connect to the server. Thx

F14 was a better project then F4, i think this is obvious...

Titanium, for airframe Grumman has used titanium

Okie was a great pilot with exceptional control on F14. Tf30 are very hard to control during a dogfight but he was able to do it, with F110 you can do what you want and you can forget stalls.

F14 g gauge keep memory of the highest G force reached. Okie also told he usually go past 6.5 G and that F14 has huge high G capability. So you can understand that people told you the truth and that you are completely wrong about this argument.

Since it is not possible to answer to you in the other thread, i answer yo here. Here is when Okie explained how he pulled 12.5 G with F14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKA3ITCZt9o&t=1721s

No offence but you misunderstood that real pilots claim really high g capability of the tomcat, people here is only reporting what real pilots told.

I also hope it is clear that gloves help really much F14 tu pull high G at supersonic speed

I think you need to read the attachment v002t02a001-82-gt-5.pdf

The cat is able to pull 12.5g, it has the capability but the risk is to damage slats, frame, intruments, etc

Sorry but, as many already told you, it seems you are really confused and you don't understand the matter

Grumman successfully tested F14 airframe at 13G, Okie pulled 12.5 G because nobody told him about the changement of strenght to apply to the stick. The only problem to over G the cat is that the airframe is stressed by high g turns and this limit the lifetime of the frame very much.

Thank you, i like really very much your answer

Thx for your kind answer. The problem is that it's not possible to go past mach 2.2 also diving with full afterburner with almost no fuel. So if only was possible to see mach 2.34 it would be great.

Do the name of Mike Ciminera tell you something? I really hope you know very well who he is https://youtu.be/SsUCixAeZ0A?t=785 Please look at the video at minute 13:06 when he talk about mach 2.4. I also remember you that if you look at the manual F14 is not able to go past 6.5G but obviously this is not true

Ok, Grumman validation test for F14A at Mach 2.41, data sheets and DoD Mach 2.34 requirement are only tails for childrens.

B Tomcat, anyway both A and B on the charts are mach 2.4 capable.

It's still impossible to go past mach 2.2, tried several times with 0 winds and 20°C, instant mission free flight Nevada after jettison fuel tanks and shot sidewinders, so with clean configuration. Sooner or later i would be happy to see the Cat at 2.4 mach.

The word "when" is the most mysterious of the whole thing. For the rest i think that if there are changes it will be impossible not to notice.

Is there any changement of the flight model with the new update of today? Thx

I know HB is is trying his best, i'll try my best to have more patience

Untill november 2020 the flight model was good, there was only the need to fix the speed at which flaps break and that was been fixed. The problem was that the FM was changed with the problems everybody knows. Also i've never understood why HB didn't roll back manteining only the correct flaps break speed. I know HB is working hard but i also think that if they update us with something 1 time every month this could help to be patient. It's really a pain every time that for few degrees i'm not able to win a dogfight, but, as already told, i will always flight only with F14.
