Snargles' F-14D Reworked!
Reworked this lovely iconic aircraft, im a phanboy, but i also gotta give credit to how the realm of video games can make the F-14D. into a thing you can fly, play and perform based on your imagination
updated version: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/W15Z0d/F-14D-update-1-1
Changes:
+AIM-54C
+AIM-7F
+AIM9L
+radar
+working hud
=Increased liftScale in all wings
=decreased wing size a bit fit elevators(haha dorito mode go brrrr)
=VTOL=1 and above(sweep wing) will decrease Elevator pitch, trim and roll
-removed cruise missiles(feel free to add them back, i do love them but i prefer the AIM-54C more, just make sure you make the AIM-54C a sub assembly)
-removed the 4 interceptors
-removed gun, replaced for cannon
-reduced chaff and flare to 60
Additional notes:
this thing is mainly good for BVR, hence the 6 fox ones. but its increase maneuverability with the wings out gives it the chance to outrate its opponent and win a 1 or 2 circle fight. you can also use speed to your advantage, by increasing your speed but decreasing your maneuverability. its tactics, ordnance and strategy depends on the pilot who flies it well with discipline and professionalism.
also @Snargles thanks for making this craft, usually i wouldve change some controls but the aircraft, despite being a bit complicated, is simplistic in terms of modification. 11/10 aircraft you made, love it so much it made me appreciate the tomcat again(until i reminded myself my love for the phantom)
