Ravirium Aerospace F 14R ThunderCat
Some time in the year 1972 During the original cold war we at Ravirium Aerospace were just beginning the YF-10 Wakerider project which after completion would have been sent to the USAF aswell as a country outside of our own universe.
However Problems began to arise with the YF-10 Wakerider project as at the time we had no test bed for the radar, weaponry, or avionics.
Thankfully with help from some of our employees currently working at Northrop Grumman a new design for the navy was in the development with about the same size as the YF-10 Wakerider designated F 14 .
With some slight classified information we managed to get the schematics for the F 14 and with some modifications we had ourselves a test bed for the Wakerider.
With multiple successess on the test bed the Project Wakerider was soon to enter flight tests in the prototype stage thanks to the F 14X Test bed.
—Present Day 2nd Cold War—
With war between the Nato and Communist alligned forces breaking out in 2029 some Fighter Projects had to be put on overtime in the Ravirium RnD department with Project Siegebreaker going to have to get done realitively soon although still 6 years out.
Recently however we have been approached by the Navy for a new 5th gen fighter or a 4th gen++ fighter as F 18s were doing Poorly and some of their losses out waying their victories combined with the fact not having enough F 35cs to make much of a change.
With discussions between the engineers, RnD department, and the Top Ceos We had to go cost efficent for the Navys new fighter and went 4th Gen++.
With some employees digging through old company files one of the engineers discovered the F 14X test bed with it being consideribly more advanced than the new F 14A at time aswell as being more advanced than the F 14D with this being discovered We found our answer.
With a redesign of the tail section and aswell as more added horizontal stabilizers and new engines aswell as the new radar and avionics from the Siegebreaker project and not only that newly developed AIM 120Hs from The Wakerider aswell as stealth coating to decrease RCS the F 14R was ready.
In the late months of 2029 Demonstrations of the F 14R were shown to top Navy officials after seeing the demo the Navy top brass approved of the aircraft and a total of 500 were ordered with 60 already made.
This Aircraft Is U.S/Nato Aligned.
Some control side notes this thing has automatic wing sweep however once wings are completely swept back activated ag 1 and push the vtol up for wings to sweep in takeoff/landing postition. Ag 2/3 turn on one of 2 engines you do not need these for takeoff as these engines are triggered by yaw and not throttle to do the split throttle manuever from top gun.
Enjoy!

@MobiusBuilds Okay
@Bryan5 For ag 2/3 pull the yaw either to the right or left you will notice that the aircraft will start to roll on its own have to do it at low speed. doesnt really do much in terms of peformance
