Spurts Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 between 36 and 40 I would wager, and I would start on the lower end of that range. 1

With a 10% error margin, quite likely. Else, it got tested for 2.5 (specific conditions unknown), was speed limited to 1.8 or 1.9, can't remember, and then there is ofc the "hotrod" story, which took place at angels 40, if it is true, and the rest of the conditions are also unknown, for example loadout. Per our SMEs, attempting and verifying top speed was just not a thing. Mostly you'd hang out at 250kts IAS on your station, trying to save some fuel so you could train some BFM on RTB. But if you want to achieve top speed in DCS, being around 40k is a safe bet.

WarthogOsl Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Was just listening to the Air Crew Interview of F-14 test pilot Kurt Schroeder. FWIW, he said the fastest they ever got the F-14 was M2.41.
