TOP GUN F-14 TOMCAT WEAPONS HOT | F-14 Fighter Gameplay 

I’m not even going to lie. That intro actually brought a tear to my eye. BF3 and specifically that mission in the campaign was my childhood and was what really got me into aviation in the first place. Such an amazing intro cred to webe. My god.

Phly, with the Phoenix missiles you no longer need a radar lock, you can just activate the tracker in TWS mode without alerting the enemy.

Hey phly, just letting you know you're using too many flares in your evasion technique, this is why the missiles continue to track your engine despite you throwing flares at it, the flares are used to confuse the IR systems, however if you use too many, you actually negate that confusion by giving it a cloud of signals to look through that lead directly to your flight path, you see, the IR systems inside the missiles are supposed to not detect the ground or background emissions of heat but instead are to lock on to higher powered heat emissions for lack of a better term. I'm sure you're aware of that fact so I wont babysplain it XD. but yes, too many flares is actually harmful, especially if you use them while changing your flight path simultaneously, its like a bread crumb trail, the less dense the trail, the harder its gonna be to find the next crumb you get what I mean? I hope this helps out a bit with survivability in the F-14 because its systems are complex and are practically unseen ever in war thunder or really any simulator that isn't DCS. Enjoyed the video just wanted to give you some tips.✌

Hey Phly, it's nice to see you so excited for this new addition to war thunder. Makes me happy to see you happy. Thanks for doing what you do :) Have a wonderful day.

8:05 that's why IRL the Tomcat came with RIO :D 19:36 the loads look like they skip the Sidewinders on the secondary glove pylons, which should be doable with 6 Sparrows.

Phly: "Something is wrong with my radar" Also Phly: Proceeds to just eject

Matyos the type of guy to say “EZ” after a game

Day 209: Phly, you should play the Hawk III Chinese fighter; 900lbs of bombs in a biplane at 1.0 that you can dogfight in after dropping. Totally balanced.

When you said your radar was broken (around 12:40) i think you accidentally laser designated and the missile was trying to lock to the designation target. right before you go in for guns you can see the missile tracking indicator on a red box in the distance by the coastline Edit - Yeah, at 12:37 you can see the red box im talking about

love the Battlefield 3 F/18 mission recreation there with the F-14 at the start.

At 12:57 when you sent 2 missiles at once, fair play BUT, next time a similar opportunity comes, send 2 again only at different launch angle's. one high, one low relative to the target, see what happens then. That way the target has to avoid 2 missiles from 2 angles rather than 2 from 1. might work, idk, im just throwing it out there. I haven't been able to play this game for a very long time lol.

Wow, I didn’t know that the bf3 jet mission intro ( you know, right after you’re done with tanks in the desert ) would be even cooler when combined with top gun/the f-14

Phly, have you ever considered trying DCS World? I feel like you'd have a much better grip over how this beast works if you did. A QRD on the Phoenix though, it's a tricky fella of a missile and has a couple different modes of firing: Option 1, firing without a lock will fire the missile "maddog" meaning it will lock onto the first target it sees. For the next two options, it is essential you understand what TWS is. Traditionally, radars locked targets and guided in semi-active missiles by essentially continously lighting them up and "painting" them. The phoenix can be used at its longest ranges in this manner, and as far as I know, stays semi-active the entire time it's launched, and this is what we'd call PD mode or "Pulse Doppler" mode. However, to use the phoenix most effectively, it is used in TWS. In TWS, a radar will continously scan a set of targets, making computerized predictions on where these targets will be on the next scan. The F-14 has TWS auto and TWS manual, in TWS auto, the priority target, or the target that is currently "locked" and primed for your phoenix, will generally be the target closest to you. When you launch on a target in this manner, the launching aircraft (see also: you), will guide the missile into its terminal phase where it will turn on its active radar at the last second before killing the enemy. The advantage to this technique is that your enemy will never know you've launched a missile at him until it's too late.

OK, advice, you should fly with a 4 2 2 load out. 4 aim 54, 2 aim 7 sparrow and 2 sidewinder. It is in my opinion the best loadout for the tomcat.

Such a cool plane. Would be a awesome if someone 360 no scoped some tanks with it.

Going Hunting is still a top tier level in battlefield history; would have been 10x better if you could have piloted the super hornet.

I feel the need… the need to use these cool new phoenix missiles in War Thunder

Don’t get me wrong, I am interested in the F14 and the trailer and weapons systems are all fantastic. However, the idea of grinding for two years to actually get it (highest US naval aircraft is F6F and highest overall is F104 A) or paying £50-60 for it is repugnant. I know that a decent flight sim game and a dlc with the tomcat would set me back far more, To any who bothered to read, Is it better to go premium and grind, or wait for the jet to drop and buy the (almost inevitable) premium version?

I wonder if Gaijin will program the missiles to give themselves extra range by going higher into the atmosphere like they would IRL. The Phoenix's would go ridiculously high and could cruise for a long way and glide to the target.

Webe I tip my hat, what a walk through memory lane that intro was! Phly thanks for the awesome content, as usual

anyone know phlys code for his sticker

19:30 "FULL REVENGE SEND" LMFAOOOOOO

Okay, a quick breakdown... TWS is used if you want to fire the missile and focus on another target. The track is all you have to maintain for the Phoenix to get to Pitbull range. You can still hard lock a target and shoot, but you must maintain that lock similar to the Sparrow. If you change target in anything other than TWS, the missile goes stupid.

Still the most iconic jet fighter the US Navy ever operated on their carriers

Best intro I have ever seen. My dad and I religiously played battlefield 3 and that will always and forever give me goosebumps.

As soon as they announced the F14 in WT I went and watched the Final Countdown lol. Underrated kick ass movie with a great cast!

Holy moly the chills from that BF3 intro and when the music kicks in are real.

Why was that intro cooler than any mission in a AAA game title ever. Well done, loved the realism and comms. Cool stuff Phly thanks for sharing!

Is it just me or this? I can’t seem to play this video because it said “No Stream” Tap To Retry.

that intro brought so much nostalgia. I miss bf3

Imagine this intro with the carrier crew and graphics they showed in the update teaser...

BF3 Love it Phly. Love you my guy.

2:03 DAMNIT MIAMI CENTER! WRONG FREQUENCY! THIS IS THE PERSIAN GULF! lolol

Hint: to effectivelly avoid IR missiles, cut your afterburner first, then flare and notch

16:07 Ah, the old "I meant to ..... but a little bit of D got in there as well" defense

phly. the aim 54 just needs a radar lock and has to be red. after that it is independent after launch and you dont need to radar the target ( if the target is around 25kms or more you have to have radar on the target after launch).

16:07 _"I meant to press ass, but a little D got in there as well..."_ And that, my dear Phleas, is how Banks was conceived! lol

Taking off from a carrier in a Tomcat and no Danger Zone but we'll go ahead with BF music......YOU BLEW IT!!!!!!!

Had to think about it for a second. The audio is from that F-18 mission in BF3. Fantastic intro!

Gotta love the intro audio of the Bf 3 F/A-18 mission... Brings back memories

The Battlefield 3 campaign sound effects in the intro, amazing.

The missile lock system looks a little painful at the moment but I'm sure that will improve over time. F-14 afterburner seems like it's weak too. I thought these F-14 could reach well into Mach 2

BF3 reference ♥ xD

Hi phlydaily, Ever since I started playing war thunder I have watched your channel, and even when I quit playing the game your content was too good to stop watching. The gameplay is just so good, and I love how you explain the weapon systems and jets/planes. I am very interested in such technology and warfare ever since I saw a group of jets fly over my house. I really want to play like you, but I am stuck in 4.7 in aviation and I just can’t seem to get a hold of the army/tanks. Do you have any tips/tricks that helped you get so good?

Heya Phly, phourth video request, would you want to take out the Ph-4E Phantom II with the triple m61’s to make a wall of 4 *unescapable guns shooting a 52.68kg maelstrom of absolute hell and lead?* (Day 71)

Waiting for the day where Gaijin adds coop vehicles. The day I can have my boi sitting RIO or getting the whole gang together in a B-17 would add a whole new level of gameplay to war thunder

It's been a LONG time since Phly drove his first tank (T34). The game has come a LONG way.

I’m getting, “No stream Tap to retry” and I keep tappin and nothin happenin and wtf lemme watch the vid RU-vid

It would be pretty funny if you could set up a running gag of Mayto killing you at the end of each video for a few weeks. Mayyyyyytooooooooo!!!!

Love the Battlefield Audio

18:04, that kill was something else man

Day 3: Phly you should try naval EC. It’s available every weekend now. The huge maps and long battle time make it much more fun than normal naval battles, especially with battleships and battlecruisers.

Legend has it that mato is still there shooting up f14s in his spare time

i can tell its the BF3 F/A-18 intro just from how they mount on when it's already on the Catapult (which they don't do irl)

And to think... The F-14 started service in 1974, as the A model, yet didn't get Air-Ground Ordinance until 1991 in the D model... Thank You Gaijen for screwing that up (17 year difference between A and D model).

Oh God... that intro... Battlefield is such a classic.

Holy crap that intro gave me shivers ,that was amazing

Seeing this just made me reboot DCS . Love the Tomcat .

That into was amazing! BF3 was so awesome.

That intro was cracked. Brought me back ;)

Nice thinking with the battle field sound to that one mission 😂😂👏👏👏

PHLY THAT WAS THE BEST RECREATION OF THAT VIDEO ITS SO SICK GREAT JOB PHLY BRAVO

2:12 is when Kenny loggins should of kicked in

bf3 navy fighter mission audio and smile for the birdy !

Phly I’m late but there is an option in settings to turn the radar into the rectangle. Then after that there is a horizontal and vertical manual targeting for radar you can use while in the rectangle mode for TWS. That way you can pick your target while tracking all of them.

That looked so good in the intro I thought it was the heat blur f14

Love the content Phly, keep it up. Combo time, non premium P61 black widow and m4a2. Attempt 61

Just finished watching Top Gun: Maverick yesterday, Its amazing to see the F-14 in Warthunder. Even though Im probably never gonna be able to play it :')

Awesome intro by Webe props to him as that intro literally gave me battlefield 3 vibes with that

Hahahaha they used for the intro the mission with the F-18 from battlefield 3(I noticed when it says "Hawkins check flaps" and obviously from the bf3 theme)

I'm so thankful that you mentioned that movie. Thank you!

I know thats from top gun alright, but PLEASE tell me that reminds you of battlefield 3 sequence where you get in a 2 seater jet and take off exactly like that

Hi its me phly daly, I just want to give you a warm greeting...The bird flipping 😆 🤣

Um I got the biggest goosebump after that Intro.. I need a cigarette

Being honest I'm more excited for the premium leopard 2A4 because it introduces camouflage neting

That Phoenix was actually trying to lock onto that mark you did in the ground

From what little i know, the Phoenix should be able to guide in on your radar signal until it gets close enough to go pitbull. Maybe if your missile lock indicator isnt red, try to maintain the lock until the missile gets close?

I love how they used the bf3 mission for the intro I love it

That intro was amazing, and I suspect it is the same audio from Battlefield 3 in that mission in the Hornet (Also the BF music in the background). I'm pretty sure WEBEEEE tried to mimic that mission in WarThunder, and I say they did an amazing job at it.

RIP top tier Air Battles.

the other thing with TWS is in real life applications circa 1980's , friendlies (usually) and missiles are not going to be in the enemies formation clouding up the selection process like you'll see in game here. in the start of Air RB 11.3 pray you have USA on your side because 16x6 of these the probability of a large amount of them hitting... games are going to end quick(er)

That intro brought back so many memories

Love the intro with the bf3 jet check

the battlefield 3 reference with the voicelines for the into unreal

Instant goosebumps with the Going Hunting style intro from BF3

Thats intro brought back some good memories. Lol

Phly here's a video to help you pick your targets on ur radar Matawgs video showing the wings of change update changes to radar. If anyone in the comments reads this u like it so it goes to top comments and phly will see it it will help him immensely. Ty amigos

I love how you used the bf3 mission with the jets

thats def the battlefield 3 f18 mission in the intro checkup XD

"It's like Ace Combat!" XXDDD

The audio is the battlefield 3 “hunting”(I think that’s the name) mission, lmfao but na this was great, good job

Battlefield 3 "going hunting" mission reference.... nostalgic phly.... nostalgic....

fun fact: you can fire a fox3 missile without gaining any sort of lock on a target and the missile locks on to anything it sees first on its radar. So if there's a cluster of target, you can let it rip.

I think the change target keybind might help a lot. I haven't used it yet however since I'm trying to grind out the f4j before it comes out.

Love the Battlefield intro for this video. ❤️

Coolest thiing just happened to me.... i was wattching your vid phly and then out side i hear the sound of a JET flyting arround. I go outside and there were 1 or 2 just cruising arorund, i dont know what they were or what they were really doing but it was really cool because i saw one turn and it was awsome, they were kinda far but still awsomme

Love how he put the Battlefield 3 mission audio to this 😂🔥

My dad worked on f4's in the 80s and saw some f14s, this bird was one of the biggest operational carrier aircraft ever put in service.

Hey phly hope you have a fantastic day and I can't wait for the new update this is one of my favorite planes and keep up the good work and keep making videos you really inspired me to start my channel

Hey phly you need to go to controls and put a key binding for weapons select to change your missiles and guns
