Devil 505 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 January 4, 1989. Let this dogfight set the foundation for our virtual dogfights when the Tomcat hits DCS. This is some great audio. Listen to how intense the pilots get when they actively engage the Mig-23's. I now want a Mig-23 module just to recreate this scenario.
BlackLion213 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Nice video. Though if I get any more fired up, I'll simply burn to the ground...(insert combusting emoji...but we don't have one). :) Though, this video reminded me of a few funny coincidences regarding the Tomcat's combat record. The Tomcat (in USN service) shot down 5 aircraft - 4 conventional and 1 Helo (Mi-8 ). The conventional aircraft were all Libyan, one encounter in 1981 and another in 1989. 1. Both types of aircraft shot down were also Variable Geometry fighters (Su-22 and MiG-23). 2. Also, the aircraft side numbers were weirdly similar between the 2 encounters: 102 and 107 in 1981 and 202 and 207 in 1989. 3. Also, in spite of the F-14s unprecedented BVR ability, 4 kills were made with the AIM-9 and 1 with the AIM-7 - showing the huge influence of ROE in how an encounter proceeds. Anyway, bit of Tomcat combat trivia. -Nick

Gandalf_56 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Hearing this audio reminds me the presentation audio of the Falcon 4 (Microprose). I have checked this a few minutes ago and .... it is the same or at least they have used parts of this audio!!! Now, how Microprose used an audio of a Navy F14 Tomcat sortie for the presentation of his USAF F16 simulator? Its a shame :) http://www.ecv56condor.com.ar ECV56 Condor - Discord Channel
Hook47 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Intense stuff! Can't wait for this module man!

Especially the much higher thrust engines. http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/military/read.main/9767/ That's a great article, it's buried in my library somewhere. Fortunately, nothing mentioned about the F-14D doesn't also apply to the F-14B. The F-14D had much more modern avionics, a different ARI, better cockpit ergonomics, new HUD, and shared the APG-71 radar with the F-15E. However, it's aerodynamic performance and ACM capability is essentially identical to the F-14B; as is it's payload and A-G capability. So don't worry, you're not missing out on much with the F-14B. :thumbup: -Nick

enigma6584 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Done years ago (not by me) AlDYaCCUt_8 I was just going to post about this video which I remembered from those years ago. Glad you found it again. I also remember there was one made with the old Falcon 4.0 which was pretty good as well. Be neat to see that one too. Thanks for posting this old memory. :thumbup:
enigma6584 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I bet when Leatherneck's F-14 comes out you will see someone remake this iconic moment with the new DCS World. That will be one hell of a movie.
