I think the interceptor myth stems from the fact that the Tomcat's primary job was to protect the Carrier Group from Ruskie bombers carrying long range anti-ship missiles, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't also a lean, mean, fightin' machine that incorporated all of the Air to Air combat lessons learned during Vietnam into it's design.

The F-14 was designed to carry the AWG-9/Phoenix weapon system. As mentioned by others, this was intended to intercept Bears & Bison bombers before they could fire cruise missles at the carrier. Thus, the long range of both AWG-9 and Phoenix. Based on the lessons learned in Viet Nam, the fighter community fought hard to insure the F-14 had medium and short range missile capabilities, and a big gun. Many don't realize the F-14 was designed from the outset with air to ground capability. We had bomb racks for all the aircraft produced. This capabilty wasn't utilzed for many years. When we upgraded to the AWG-15F weapons control system, we gained card slots to add the "dumb" bomb strike mission. With the addition of LANTIRN, smart bombs could be utilized. Bottom line, the F-14 evolved from its introduction to its retirement.

When I was on the Kittyhawk we had VF-154 aboard and they did a great job. In 2000 the Russians decided to put on a little airshow for us. Here's the short version, if anyone is interested in the full version I'll right it up. We were resupplying and drifted really close to Russian waters and they sent out 2 SU-24's and one SU-27. They buzzed the flight deck which put into motion launching the alert 5 while we were hooked up to the tanker which also had our cruiser hooked up as well. The Russians toyed with the Hornets going into the vertical to extend away from them. 5 more minutes go by and you can hear the sounds of a real fighter starting up. Old Tom wasn't as spry as he used to be and wasn't alert 5. The Tomcats Started out by cutting off the bugs and then glued themselves to the Russians asses. Our visitors didn't like the roll reversal and quickly decided it was time to go home, they didn't want to play with the Tomcats anymore.

Also renember that the F-15 was built as an air superiority too but with excelent dogfight capability.. in the early days the Eagle and the Tomcat were pitched against each other for costumers evaluation and from day 1 the Tomcat was said to be more than equal dogfighter to the F-15A.. and that was with the early problematic TF30 engines.. renember they were pretty inadecuate for dogfight and the Tomcat was intended to use better more powerfull engines (wich it ended up using for the B/D).. if a Tomcat A with TF30s could dogfight a F-15A on equal terms imagine a B with F110s

@MrFarnanonical 3 жыл бұрын

5:25 I think you have to consider how it was portrayed during the acquisition process and how it was employed. If you recall, the MiG-29 was probably one of the best dogfighters in the world during its era but it usually wasn't used in that capacity. It was used as a point-defense interceptor even though it could hold its own against any 4th gen fighter at close range. Whenever you hear about the Tomcat, people always bring up that it was designed for intercepting Soviet bombers. Which ultimately was its most important mission but it wasn't the only thing it was capable of. The Navy isn't super fond of single-purpose aircraft, that's one of the reasons why they use seahawks instead of Zulu Cobras for anti-sub-warfare. The Foxbat and Foxhound were purebred interceptors, the Tomcat has a lot more in common with the Flanker or the F-15 than either of those.

It's long-randed Fox-1s and Fox-2s and 3-mach-speed of the aircraft itself was the perfect solution to protect very extensive Soviet border from NATO bombers and Valkyries in particular

The F-111B was an interceptor, Grumman took the AWG-9 weapons system, and the less then stellar engines and designed a fighter/Interceptor around them. It's criminal that the Baby waited do long to replace the engines.

Well done in an F-14A with those touchy TF 30s but P414A variant

The F14s RIO and Capabilities as a Missile Truck and Air Surveillance System make it very much an interceptor or at least heavy Fighter. Also only the F14D has a usable power to weight ratio to dogfight. But the Airframe and flight characteristics of the F14 allow for an Air Supremacy role.

Love those odds! The F-14 Tomcat eats MIG's lol this Tomcat was hungry! 6 MIG's destroyed is an impressive fight and exceptionally entertaining!!👍

I watched the whole Raid: Shadow Legends thing to support you... but I prefer Shadow Legend VR (very similar name, but totally unrelated) which is an absolutely amazing VR single-player fantasy action RPG experience one shouldn't miss out if even remotely interested in fantasy games. That's one of the titles that make a lot out of what VR can do and it's just awesome. Anyone interested in such games who has a headset should try it out. IIRC I got it off a Rift sale for less than 10 bucks, worth every single cent! 2:20 _FOXBATS!_ 3:17 That intro was sick, especially this part (can't imagine the AI can do that, but what do I know?)

I hate to say it... but a huge part of winning the dogfight is the human factor... his limitations. Your methods as a tactician shows that unfortunately the days of the manned aircraft are limited. Your know the aircraft and the tactics so well that the only thing that really comes in to play is the physical abilities of the pilot. That being said i love your vids.. wish i had the time to dedicate to this like you do . Great job growling!

4:13 I like how the radar output kind of looks like a TIE Fighter, reminding me of that Millennium Falcon TIE fight scene in A New Hope.

One Mig 21 with serial number 681 shot down an Iranian Tomcat during the gulf war! Also a Mig 25 shot down a US F18 during desert storm 1991 and the Iraqi Pilot still on the run as he is on the US hit list , while his Mig was stoles by the US troops and shipped to US. It’s only about the Mashine, it’s about the battle situation and the man too.

the mig25 pilots name is Lt Zuhair Dawoud, and hes not on the run lol hes also not on a hit list, he did interviews where he actually explained the situation under which he shot down the American F-18.
