This may be an artifact of my learning on warbirds, but is there a minimum acrobatic speed for the F-14B? The main one I'm looking for is the minimum entry speed for an immelman turn.

 

My background is the P-47D, which requires a minimum indicated air speed of 250 mph at max continuous to perform an immelman, and 300 mph ias to do a full loop. Slower than that and you'd stall out. I'm figuring the F-14B has different values at Mil and at full burner, but not sure what they are, or if they are even above the stall speed. I do know if you've got the engine set to a speed that gets you a a stable 250 kt IAS, you cannot do an immelman, but wondering what the plane is supposed to be able to do on higher settings.

I remember reading the figure of 180 KIAS entry speed for a loop and I tried that myself once in game (with landing flaps). Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

These depend on altitude, temperature, drag, total weight, flaps/wings and throttle settings.

The flight model is mature enough to let you realistically test it at your own set up.
