"I wanna tomcat. They're trying to kill us but still i want one"

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

"[Oh, stuff.]"
I begin to climb to get out of the radar circle.
I drop chaff and try to lock on to Tomcat-2.

The radar lock warning goes away, but you remain outside seeker launch range. It fires another RGM your way as it follows you.

Bell uses the turbochargers to move out of the radar cone and get some altitude.

At this distance, the interceptor is able to keep you in its sights, though it has to separate from the rest of its squadron to do so. The RGM draws nearer.

"Ugh."
I drop chaff and turn hard to get out of the radar circle.

No sooner have you trashed the first missile than a second is launched your way.

"Can't help but pity them, huh."
Faw pops chaff and opens up on a plane with a LCP.

I drop chaff and fire an HSM at Tomcat 5.

You both drop your missiles, but are still well outside weapons range. The enemy planes fire another missile at each of you.

In attempting to keep their noses pointed at your planes during the RGM barrage, the Malantan squadron has lost cohesion. They are now scattered all over the place, focusing more on you guys than where their squadmates are. In addition, they are now in range of your own missiles.

[ZombiLoin]

look i don't want to slam you guys but the F-14's performance is good enough to compete with the T1 and the T2 fighters
plus the tornado was introduced 5 years after the F-14 so the tomcat isn't 'relic' tier

yeah i doubt that we're in range to fire seekers

yeah why all the f-14 hate, it's still a good plane :(

[Gojira]

"God dammit."
I drop more chaff and try to get out of the radar circle.

[Operator¹]

Bell dumps chaff and fires a seeker at her pursuer and dives down at the Tomcat.

[Mr. Hurricane]

I drop countermeasures and fire an HSM at Tomcat 5.

[Qwepir]

yeah why all the f-14 hate, it's still a good plane :(

Dont get me wrong I love the f-14, its probably one of my favorite planes. It's just rather dated compared to the stuff being fielded right now.

[Gojira]

nevermind, after the next update.

[Badger]

I fire off my RGM at tomcat 6

[Qwepir]

"God dammit."
I drop more chaff and try to get out of the radar circle.

Though you evade the radar guided missile, Tomcat-4 merely follows up with a pair of heatseekers before breaking away to deny you easy use of your guns.

Bell dumps chaff and fires a seeker at her pursuer and dives down at the Tomcat.

Your seeker hits the target before they have a chance to react.
: [Gah! I'm hit! Someone help me!]

Tomcat-1 maneuvers to engage you, coming in from your left.

I drop countermeasures and fire an HSM at Tomcat 5.

You hit it in the bottom of its aft end as it turns to evade you.
: [stuff! stuff! Last hit just disabled my elevator and rudder!]

They manage to level out but are stuck following what's more or less a straight path.

I fire off my RGM at tomcat 6

Though they attempt to evade, you are able to keep them in your radar cone and destroy them.
: Wait, what? I thought our escort was Mjolnir. Who just wasted that guy?
: That- huh. When the hell did the Kintharians get here?

[Mr. Hurricane]

I pull in behind Tomcat 5 and wait a moment before firing the P3. This kid better bail out.

[Gojira]

"This starfish."
I drop two packs of flares and break hard right, trying to get on to Tomcat-1's tail.

[Badger]

: Wait, what? I thought our escort was Mjolnir. Who just wasted that guy?
: That- huh. When the hell did the Kintharians get here?

"Just the aircraft folks, same squad."

I head after Tomcat 4 firing my LCP

[Qwepir]

I pull in behind Tomcat 5 and wait a moment before firing the P3. This kid better bail out.

The crackling ball of energy enters through the rear end of the plane and blows the unfortunate plane (and its pilot) to pieces in a vibrant green explosion.

"This starfish."
I drop two packs of flares and break hard right, trying to get on to Tomcat-1's tail.

The good news is that you manage to spoof the missiles. The bad is that the Razorback handles like a brick stuffhouse, making lining up a good shot on the (relatively) nimble Tomcat a pipe dream for now. You get closer to your target, and they seem less interested in attacking your squad leader now, but you cannot maintain a lock for now.

I head after Tomcat 4 firing my LCP

You land several good hits on them.
: [Number two engine is out, I can't shake him!]

"Just the aircraft folks, same squad."

: Then why's your plane painted like a little girl's bedroom?

[Gojira]

I try to line up a burst from FREEDOM BRRRRRRT my cannons on the enemy Tomcat.
