War Thunder - F-14A "We Flew The Tomcat!" 

First off, huge thanks to Stickboy24, Hambone001, and Zuit for helping to make this video possible and surviving the onslaught of Mig-23s! There is a lot to like with the F-14 as it is introduced into War Thunder. It is a beautiful model and the attention to detail is fantastic, the big thing that really surprised me right away was the turbine engine sounds and overall sound profile of the aircraft flying. This is by far their best-sounding aircraft in terms of sound design. This is an aircraft that I thought we would never see in the game and was eager to give it a shot. When first hearing the F-14 was coming to War Thunder, my initial untrained thought was it would be terribly unbalanced due to its ability to strike at long range and other factors. The Phoenix Missle in-game sort of worked in my hands (someone who doesn't play a lot of 10.0 Plus Jets) but the game mechanics were a bit lacking in my opinion at times. One of the biggest learning curves was the multiple key bindings required if you do not want to use the Y menu to operate your multiple armaments. Users of the F-4 Phantom and other top-tier jets are used to this issue when using things like the Sparrows and Aim-9s together. We spent hours trying different radar modes, different patterns, and different tactics. We had mild success with it but it was also frustrating a bit at times. The F-14A is not the best aircraft for a classic dogfight and you feel it. It's not awful by any means but you definitely wish you had the re-engined F-14B at times in a foot chase. This is just my Day 1 opinion from about 30 matches and I am sure the devs at Gaijin will continue to develop the Game Mechanics I mentioned. Thanks for watching the video and let us know what you think!

Turns out the song “Danger Zone” was a foreshadowing of Bo’s F-14 piloting skills

PLAAAAAAAYING....PLAAAAAYING WITH THE BOYS

I think it needs to be pointed out, Bo: Once youve locked the Phoenix missile, you MUST maintain your radar lock if you want it to hit THAT target, otherwise when you drop your lock, it will go semi actie and track the NEAREST plane within its tracking cone, NOT the one you locked. Hence why your missile hit the Mig 23 at 2:50 rather than the Su-22

You know how we all love the shenanigans, but let's be real, when Bo pulls a class maneuver and shows you how to do it right (kills afterburner, pops flares for four seconds, then hard G-turns and rolls inside), you realize he's really FUKKING good at this game.

And today’s episode of Bo time gaming, we witness innovative water boarding techniques, Cliff jumping with jump master Ham, magic missiles finding targets we don’t know exist, volleyball for everyone, and finally we meet Lieutenant Buzz kill! Don’t Touch That dial folks, we’re on the same Bo time, same Bo channel! TomCats ahoy!

10s in and TBLF already crashed into each other lol, this will be an amazing video as always.

I'm impressed by how much abuse from teammates the Tomcat can take and still remain airborne.

my favorite quote from bo is "This is the worst squadron ever".

I'm disappointed nobody used the quote, "Is this your idea of fun, Mav?" when they were flying inverted above a squadmate. Aside from that, excellent vid!

First words, "HAM!" You know something is up.

hey, I saw you guys in one of my matches yesterday! Great to see ya and love your content!

It wasn't hard to predict that Bo's callsign would become "Clueless..."

"I don't know it hit somethin' i'm proud of it." Now there's a positive attitude.

Just did a call sign generator for my friends and I got “Hound, Bubba, smurf and chaos. Absolutely 10/10 🤣

I love this little ragtag team! There’s no obstacle they can’t overcome… well, maybe except themselves.

2:47 is what I loved doing in Strike Fighters 2, one of the best video games ever!

Thought I'd never see the day that TBLF took out a top tier jet. Great to see you guys try out the F-14.

Seeing you in that F-14 taking off with an F-4 looked awesome!

Great video today Bo! Lots of fun watching you four blast around in the F-14's.

After watching both Top Gun 1 and 2 Im sad to say I don't think I would be playing this plane ever. My grind will take years lol... My only request is that you guys do really low altitude flying in valleys. Great video as always Bo!

10:39 would have been a perfects "ima hit the air brake and he is going to fly right by moment"

Yo! This video was AWESOME! Loved every second of it. Keep the amazing work yall do putting these videos together. ❤

Ah the Tomcat, the most anticipated jet in the game so far, always happy to watch some Bo & Co content! Thanks for the video!

Oh man this one and all your guy's antics had me cackling. Great work Bo and team.

by far one of the most enjoyable Bo Time Gaming videos yet! Thanks for the content!

This was an absolutely amazing video. Awesome job guys on getting this content out on patch day! I know it must’ve been insanely hard with all the people playing to get the F-14!

Another Great vid Bo. I love the F-14 and had " Danger Zone" Running through my head the whole time lol!

This video was very good, everyone was in a good mood and the jet was the one most people have been waiting for. 10/10

Stick - "I thought you were on the SU!" Bo - "I don't know, it hit something and I'm proud of it!" lmao, as you should be! That was amazing xD

Yes as soon as the update was coming out I was just waiting for this

man i miss yalls videos i stopped watching for i think a year because i wanted new videos to watch and i am not disapointed on first video back nice work as always guys

Already loving the video and all the top gun references! Its awsome seeing anything with the tomcat after watching top gun maverick

absolutely hilarious video Bo! I loved this video!

This vid was epic! You've all made my day so much better!

Your callsign reminds me of a short story from my grandpas time in the navy, My Ganda was a desk jockey on the uss hancock, and met a pilot who stared off into space every now and then, so everyone called him clueless

Great Video. All the Top Gun references were halirious. And the Dolphin Hambone became for a round was so funny.

im saving this for tomorrow in class at some point, i cant wait to watch it

Amazing Video Bo and crew keep up the good work

great video. loved the subtle top gun quotes

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

That friendly that won the round on the snow map happens to be my friend who taught me warthunder, thank you for making his day

Bo once again making war thunder seem a lot more fun than in reality XD. Fun plane that made for an awesome video, keep it up!

You guys are incredible! I'm hoping to run into you in WT, or even better, cover your six.

Absolutely loved this

Really good video, I know it was a struggle to get all the footage needed but I'd say the end product is a beauty. Hell of a job boys.

Ty bo to you and the others 👍

love the vid bo!

Keep up the great work Bo, with all the new content the new vids will be amazing. Also I love seeing fate in the vids recently!

Bo thanks for the wonderful video and hope the guys had a blast.

Nice video. I'll probably never get to top tier air in any country, I focus too much on ground combat. BUT, it was fun watching your gang trying out the F14. Makes we almost want to start air combat. Not sure how the generator got "Grouch" for me, but it did hit the nail on the head.

As always thanks for braving top tier in order to give us great content!

You guys are hilarious! Keep up the good work!

i loved this video, i pissed myself laughing the whole way through, keep up the amazing work Bo and Co

those were some pretty good kills... i congratulate u bo o7

Need more plane nuzzling in your videos lol. Loved today's video and can't wait to see more from this update

Such a beautfiful Jet, great video guys, thank you very much ;)

I forgot how much i love your videos

Let’s go! I’ve been waiting forever for the Bo Crew to get F14’s!! Great video as always!

I think you're supposed to stay nose hot after firing the missile. It does have a radar of its own but it still needs your guidance until the terminal phase

Hey bo I love your videos I have watched all your videos and I have followed you and supported your channel since your 1st vid keep it up

I just love to see someone play the vehicle as their original design doctrine.

Hope to see more of the Tom cat! Sad about how many games got cut short :(

This is an absolutely beautiful video

I always look forward to you vids coming out. They make me laugh. Keep up the good work. I don’t know how your not at 1 million subs yet.

Crying with laughter in the first 60 seconds. Great video!

just another typical day and the life of the tblf squadron. chaos and screaming with a slight touch of clueless

"Mav. Tally-2. 5 o'clock low" is also another epic top gun quote

Great video. The F-14 is really a very pretty plane

So good I watched it twice - hilarious

love watching you fellas play the more modern jets! maybe one day I'll manage to unlock the top-tier jets too, lol repairing my F-105D and F104A makes me wince at the end of each battle. of course, I'm not really that good at jet combat in the first place xD love to see you guys give Naval a shot again one of these days. especially since they've added bigger ships like the Scharnhorst, Kongo, Hood, and Arizona now

Saw you, Stick, and Zuit on Korea yesterday while playing my MiG-27K

This video took 'This is why we can't have nice things' to the next level, and Hambone took the 'Danger Zone' to an even higher level.

Always an amusing sight, watching this brew crew mess around. And incidentally, I tried out that call-sign generator; I got "Falcon" as my callsign.

good video and f 14 was good plane back in the day

I feel like stick just sounds done with them when they tried to cliff jump he just sounded so dead inside to me

What a beautiful aircraft! 😊

I really like the skin. just now remembered its the same squadron the F-14D i am building a model kit of rn

20:48 start of the mating dance of the Tomcat.

Just here to say that I'm really glad I've never had TBLF on my team, because TBLF will help the Red team by eliminating themselves from the battle almost every time.

I really don't play aircrafts but my love for the F-14 will make me grind for it.. don't really care how long(years) it will take but I will have this fine piece of machinery!

So all my friends have callsings now, thanks for showing me this site!

The four of you in a formation, you guys fit the F-14A, Ace Combat vibes

Now that we have a 4th Gen. aircraft, what others from the same Gen. could come? The MiG-25? Or something else.

Bo Time Yes!

bo idk if they model it in wt but the pheonix wont keep lock untill the target size sequence has been completed (the time which the f-14s radar guides the aim-54 to the target) once the missile goes PITBULL then you can break away

Favorite top gun quote “Don’t think just do”

"Why you didnt used guns...because Technology" yeah that was the same thing the US Navy said in vietnam and, yeah,we all know how that went

They gave me Slamin "Slam" Tanker as a callsign. My friends loved your idea.

this is probably the best looking jet fighter i know of, nice :)

just finished watching other vids thank you

I can't breath.... that F14 love making was just too much.

Hey bo when your going to shoot the pheonix go full afterburner that way it gives the pheonix a boost in speed

I'm amazed at how much pushing and shoving those planes took without even taking damage

I love ur vids Bc of u guys im into war thunder

Not even half a minute in and you guys already cost Uncle Sam about 76 million USD. This is gonna be good

My favorite top gun quote is “WERE GOING BALLISTIC”

Great Video 🤘

I was dying when ham was imbetween your tailfins XD

i feel that the tblf tag gives collision damage negation vs other tblf
