F-14 Checklist / Reference Guide

The attached checklist was made using a template I have used to fly with in real life. The flow was generated from a mix of NATOPS and Heatblur manual data and logic. It also contains a lot of reference data that can help if you haven't flown the Cat for a bit or switch between TMS (type, model, series) frequently. If something doesn't make sense or you would like to see something added/changed please let me know.

Notes:

My timeline tactics are broken up into three flows.

Flow 1: Long range shots. Max R to 40 NM using high altitude, high airspeed and proper loft mechanics to increase kinetics and bring Pk above 0. Pk maybe low but its worth shooting one missile to put your adversary on the defense, if they choose to not defend then Pk goes up drastically.

Flow 2: Medium range or reattacks. 40 NM to 16NM. Shooting from pure (nose on) or a crank. This is based on whether your outside 30nm when you turn hot. When turning out at 16nm (MSE) be 180s out by 16 NMs.

Flow 3: 16NMs to the merge. Shot something, notch to the merge, use PAL and make the merge with 400-450 KCAS with a good game plan.

Threat missile is the R-27ER.

I am aware of the Probably of kill study that was done recently, it is great stuff. However I believe you can get more out of the AIM-54 if you get the kinetics right.

Shout out to Carterlulay who helped me create this guide.

Great job, quickly looked through it but looks like a good resource. Have saved for later.

Indeed, very nice. thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! Thanks!

That´s great! Thanks for sharing :thumbup:
