Focha Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I am 28 yeas old. Top Gun was in theaters in the year of 1986 (the year I was born). I watch it later (as far I remember with 6 y-o) bur probably I viewed it earlier since I recall to see the Gulf war apaches in TV I surely saw Top Gun earlier. So... Thank you. I've been waiting for the ultimate experience of flying an F-14. Take your time and do one of the best modules for DCS (I know you'll deliver since you already done so). OH YEAH!

dagandolfo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Wow, what an announcement and what a thread... 52 pages and counting with plenty of grins and smiles along the way. Is there anything Sexier than a TomCat with her wings fully swept back?:thumbup: Yes, a Tornado with it's wings swept :music_whistling: The Tomcat is indeed an iconic aircraft and I've always liked it since seeing TopGun as a kid. However with the benefit to age and experience I can see TopGun for the Hollywood tosh it is. nice aircraft, crappy dialog and script. One of the first you tube videos I ever saw was one of the "topgun is gay" videos which must be 8 years ago which Tarantino's sums up as only he can in the video earlier in this thread. nice work Leatherneck look forward to throwing money at you! :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've ever seen so many positive posts and such excitement from any module since I started simming,which in itself must show this is a damn good choice.

DarkFire Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Can't honestly say that the F-14 is my favourite aircraft but with the quality of work evident on the Mig-21, the F-14 will be a day-1 purchase for me.

Yurgon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bah, it's still better than Flight of the Intruder ;) "Flight of the Intruder" was a pretty good book IMO. The movie sucked big time, though, didn't catch the atmosphere and wildly changed things around. :( On another note... do you guys know the feeling when x-mas is getting close and you wanna travel back in time and murder George Michael so that "Last Christmas" will never have been recorded? I'm feeling that way about Kenny Loggins right now. Whenever there's a Youtube link I'm like "Cool, new Tomcat porn!" but then it's "Highway to the Danger Zone" all over again... is this the birth of "Kennyrolling"? :music_whistling: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEarl Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 they said MAYBE. As you can see in the renders; the Phoenix rails have bombcat extensions modelled and ready to go. We hope to include the Bombcat upgrade, but this will be subject to available research. Yep, subject to search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Why are people so caught-up on A-G in a Tomcat, of all planes? It turns an awesome A-A only aircraft into a bada$$ multirole fighter. What's not to like about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaoslaad Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Why are people so caught-up on A-G in a Tomcat, of all planes? Strong desire for a somewhat modern multi-role aircraft. Peoples opinions vary. My buddy is a die hard F-14 fan. He thinks equipping bombs on an F-14 is sacrilege. But I think putting a GBU or two on a Tomcat, fighting your way in, taking out a key target or two, and fighting your way out would be a lot of fun. It was apparently a great strike aircraft from what I read. It would be a shame not to be able to use that functionality in the sim. Edit: with the F/A-18C coming we also have that option, so if they aren't able to produce a bombcat for some reason my disappointment will be tempered. I want both, but I am _really_ looking forward to the F/A-18C. Edited March 4, 2015 by xaoslaad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
