Ok I've gotten a bit of messages asking about the song I made for the F14 montage. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/8a-iz0AlvZk/v-deo.html Enjoy!
Wohoo thanks bud'! :D
You should fly the F14 with someone else in the backseat (as RIO), it's a whole different experience! :)
how often do you use your guns in fights? kinda surprised you didn't try to spray the guy that charged you
Are there any means to contact you privately in regards to feedback or more specific questions? Or is commenting on content the best way to reach out? Great videos, I’ve been subscribed for a few months, and regardless if I have the game you’re playing it’s always been enjoyable watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
If you need a wing man in the tomcat give me call I’ll fly with you(mainly because I have no friends with the tomcat)
What am I doing here? I dont know planes, I've never heard of this game, I dont even own a computer. I have work in 3 hours and have yet to sleep.
Did you sleep?
Yo it's been a month now have you slept yet
@@scjvz04d5 I haven't (but I like planes)
Aurplene
3 months Now.
Have u get some rest?
my dad was in the airforce in 1991 and flew the f 15 eagle, and he just got into using dcs. and he got on a beginner server and everyone was shooting at friendly's , and he described them as if the Taliban got fighter jets.
Sounds pretty accurate to be honest
Personally, as someone who worked on the F-14 for years in the Navy, I always found the F-18 was the Corvette, technically advanced even in the early days. The Tomcat? That was more like a 1970 SS Chevelle with the 454 LS package. Pure, unadulterated muscle. Big engines, huge footprint, and the very essence of a long-range interceptor.
The Phantom was along the same lines to me. A bit more crude, but tough as nails as a result. Strap a cockpit to a couple J79-GE-8B’s cranking out 17,000lb of thrust wet, each. In the 60’s! Many stories from Nam pilots that were saved just by the raw power of those J-79’s. The Tomcat was indeed a worthy replacement, but the Phantom doesn’t get the respect it deserves in the annals of aviation history.
@@trashpanda314 Agreed! The Phantom was an awesome example of american muscle in the air. Granted, I have a soft spot for the F14, but you are correct, the Phantom does NOT get the respect it truly deserves!
@@trashpanda314 I know a lot of people who are big fans of the old Lead Sled. One of them has it as his hardcore favorite. While not nearly as popular as the F-14, or most of the modern roster, the F-4 still has a substantial amount of fans. Given some games like War Thunder have featured it for years now, the popularity and exposure of the F-4 increased.
If nothing else, being a fan of the Phantom is a classic pick. Very cool aircraft.
@@Kerenskyz15 agreed, I’m absolutely stoked heatblur is working on an f4, which means it will probably be just as good as the f14 is!
this is a wholesome reply section
“I watched top gun a couple of days ago... and it wasn’t that good”.
All 40+ year old’s: giving you the finger.
30+ as well. Such insolence.
How can you not like a movie where the director insisted everybody get water sprayed in every scene to make them look like they are sweating.
I watched it recently and it isn't that good xD It's fun, iconic but good? No.
It has the best flying and the best laugh in cinema history.

Like how dare you ask questions
The tomcat is literally one of the best planes to learn.
It's hard as hell, but if you can maneuver that brick, you can maneuver everything after. Beast.
Like cars. If you can drive a carb engine with a manual tranny and no electronics, you can drive anything
I’m getting this game solely for the purpose of learning that plane, and that plane alone

Haha, I told my dad I watched Top Gun, and then for Christmas he bought me some sick ass ray-bans. The movie is awesome, the planes are awesome and the glasses are awesome.
I just watched Top Gun.
It's ok if not average at best. The dogfights are cool and the visuals too.
But man they waste so much time on romance bs, so many mistakes and telling how Mitchell is the best and blablabla while he's just a pretentious moron.
I was either sleeping or rolling my eyes between the flight scenes
"The Final Countdown" is the best F14 movie.
There, I said it.
@@TheKenji2221 Remember, this was released in 1986, so you gotta have all that 80's cheese on it. It was good back then. I was 10 when it was released. I hope TopGun 2 is worth the wait.
@@mattthacker4122
Yeaaaah it's true. And I kept that in mind. But even for a 80' movie I felt like the writing is..... Eh
I'm still curious about TP2 tho
8:25 fun fact: you are exactly above my real house
See any missiles on the daily?
@@atomic3614 haven’t seen yet skiing daily
"Growling Sidewinder would like to know your location."
And tell him to stay at a high altitude.
4:25 27k lbs of thrust is averaged out between static thrust and mach .9. In static thrust its right about 25k lbs, and at mach .9 its about 30.2k lbs
Also the true max speed of the F-14 actually isn't known. The design requirements stated mach 2.34 being the desired max speed so when they reached it they checked off the box and called it good to save on testing time.
Source:)
@@irseeker9989 For the F110 thrust numbers, its listed in a bunch of documents that you can find on the first 2 pages or so of google, and for the max speed thing an interview i watched a while back with one of the tomcats test pilots.
@@MCF2233 for the interview
@@irseeker9989 I honestly dont remember where to find it anymore. It was years ago that i saw it, and thats just the thing thats stuck with me the most from it. Check out the DCS Tomcat Alley discord server though, one of the people there might know where to find it.
@@MCF2233 maybe you should check it
that tomcat is pretty badass, it’s cool that Cold War planes are still appreciated
You right
It sits at that crazy stage where all the functions are there, but not automated.
Everything has multiple dials and gauges, kinda like a steam punk fighter jet.
@@kilianortmann9979 some stuff is automated. I just think it’s more crude. It is the steam punk fighter jet though.
@@kilianortmann9979 actually a lot of things are automated
@@lordbluebaron2270 Yes, compared to earlier generations of course.
But there is a lot of manual input, compared to what other gen 4 fighters turned into.
Bomb delay is in ms and not in distance, very limited waypoints, INS fix, most things require more button presses, or some math in your head.
Note on the RWR, the actual sensors feeding the system are located on the tips of the elevons, when you significantly move the flight controls (and subsequently the elevons) the direction readout of the rwr becomes skewed. Also they can only detect emissions in a horizontal plane, if you roll to turn into a bandit, the actual azimuth that the RWR indicates will be off until you fly level again.
*takes off
My head : “highway to the danger zone”
Isn’t it “highway to the danger zone”? “Going to take it right in to the danger zone”
@@lordbluebaron2270 your right he does
lol, real fans of F14 remember this.
@FS-141 SEAL You know how?
17:55 that was an ~16 mile shot.......
and it was STILL on motor....
.
thats hilarious..... the aim54 is PEAK freedom
Jabbers pointed out that If you roll to one side, the Tomcat will actually yaw a little as well and can mess a lot of things up when maneuvering, especially at lower speeds. If you put in the equivalent rudder inputs to counter this and have your maneuvering flaps down, I don't think there's a single thing in the game that can outturn a Tomcat
mmmmmm kitty kitty
More bird videos soon?
Matsimus how do I always see you in the comments of the videos I watch?
meow
Dogfight tip: at 11:07 when that enemy blew by you behind you, the optimal move is to turn your plane right to get inside his turn circle. I guess he lost vision on you because what would normally happen when you keep up your turn like that is that the enemy will swing around and get his nose on you before you can make a full 360 and take a shot at him. By reversing your turn, you prevent the enemy from doing that.
I'm astounded that Drewski won a turnfight vs a Sukhoi in an F-14B.
@@cnlbenmc the f-14 can REALLY turn..... like, its pretty much a straight wing C-172 when you drop the flaps
.
the best move is to use its MASSIVE engine power (especially with lower fuel and no 1000 pound AIM-54s hanging off it)
you can pull into the vertical, loop over, and just yo-yo the crap out of people
.
if ya cant out thrust it.... you can out turn it
if ya cant out turn it.... ya can out thrust it
.
and usually you do both better
.
now getting a lock..... taking an accurate shot.....not having speed and ALT in the hud.... canopy bars that block vision....
pulling just a BIT too hard and snapping off the wings....
.
thats the hard part of the f-14
.
having the performance is one thing
using it to the limit.....with no "bitching betty" flight control system to prevent you from killing yourself....
whole different thing to master
@@kainhall Indeed. The F-14B, despite its size and apparent sluggishness, is a very dangerous dogfighter because of the engines, fuel capacity and variable geometry.
@@kainhall don't spread false info man.. It's a real bad idea to drop full flaps in a dogfight...
@@TheStalkingSniper Not in the F-14, although the pilot has to be careful not to have them jam when the onboard flight computer decides to start sweeping the wings back.
F-14 Tomcat. The sexiest plane the NAVY ever adopted. Change my mind.
No one can change your mind, because it’s a FACT.
Yes
Best looking plane imo also
The Navy owns some vipers for aggressor stuff.
I always liked the F4U Corsair. The Tomcat’s a sexy beast, though. It’s old, but still manages to look sci-fi.
20:08
Drewski: "Fox 2! Fox 2! Fox 2!"
Me: *Internally screaming*
it's pretty crazy how tech like this from the early 1970s is still relevant and still has scary capability. look at the sidewinder too, it originated in the 1950s and is still the most successful missile platform in the world, hard to shake off with a good enough warhead. the M1 abrams design has already been around (counting the start of design, not starting at production) for about 50 years, and is still one of the most successful MBTs. the leopard 2 is also about 50 years old in it's design, still extremely capable. it's mindblowing that we still use tech from designs that you may think is outdated, but in reality if you threw a decent pilot in an F-15C eagle against an intermediate pilot in a SU-57 you may have the eagle emerge victorious. it's truly just something that makes you wonder: How?
Old, doesn’t always mean obsolete

Drewski: “Oh and flat-spins”
Me: (PTSD’s in War Thunder)
Hey drewski the wing moving thing is called "Variable Geometry"
We call 'em swing wings.
When I tried the Tomcat when it was free at Christmas I found it’s actually much more straight forward personally than the FA-18. I suppose the easiest module to learn is the one that you want to learn.
yes, the tomcat is pretty simple and more straightforward than something modern with lots of weapons like the F/A-18, but actually flying the tomcat is way harder. You really have to tame it and learn how it works because of its lack of an fbw. When I first trialed the F-14 I tried for like 4 hours straight to dogfight an Su-27 and I couldn't kill it once, but not because it kept on killing me, but because I kept on flat spinning, stalling, and crashing.
Do they make the planes free every year?
@@tbprod5 you can trial them
@@onyx.95 not on steam version
@@tbprod5 the normal version is free too lol
While you didn't need it in the video, one habit that is useful to develop while in the Tomcat is flipping the ACM switch/cover on your upfront console when getting into a dogfight (you can have it as a toggle on your joystick): just by flipping it up, it will set up your plane for ACM mode which will set your gun fire rate to High if it's low, cool your Sidewinders and Prep your other missiles if for some reason you have them off and more importantly it will switch your radar to Boresight mode and your Phoenixes and Sparrows will require 1 second of pulling the trigger to fire them instead of the usual 3. Speaking of, with Boresight enabled you can access the vertical ACM scan modes (Hi/Lo) for the radar.
u dont need ACM to use the VSL HI/LO modes
At this point, we're gonna need dedicated servers run by actual people who flew those planes to just train newbies
Something about the noise a plane makes when it flies just makes you wanna go to sleep.
Ever since Falcon 4.0, lomac, thirdwire sims, and now DCS, there were time i fell asleep while in game/in sim
Yeah, especially if you've done an overseas flight.
B-17/C-130 ambient noises are fuckin mint.
grinning like a moron when it said "original music by drewski"
ua-cam.com/video/8a-iz0AlvZk/v-deo.html :)
OperatorDrewski: an actor, musician, gamer, fighter pilot, and an SCP Foundation combat and retrieval operative. What a legend!!
My buddy got hooked on DCS and apparently became the best F-14 pilot in his group. After watching this video I have a way bigger appreciation for what he must have went through to accomplish that.
Dcs is amazing. I learned the f16 startup once and taught a guy it right offer learning. It sometimes can be hard and other times easy to learn a plane
Hey it’s Super watsup
AWACS BANDOG : "happiness noise".
There is no comparison to the chills I get when drewski says “the final topic: the f14 tomcat.” The music kicks in, the amazing shots, drewski narrating the specs and capabilities of the f14. Yeah. I don’t think there’s a intro to the f14 that even comes close to this one. This video is the whole reason I got the f14 and boy was that a great decision
I love that she takes an interest in what you love, that's the way it should be.
That “skating” feeling you get is exactly what I get when I’m flying in arma, but it reminds me of long boarding so much
Actually really enjoyed this, even tho it's not action packed and everything it was still entertaining and had my full attention. Hope to see more pilot videos
16:13 That was most probably a R-27T, a medium range IR missile that Russian planes have.
They have very useful, since they don't alert the RWR.
"Flanker, 5 o'clock"
One of the scarier things to hear.
Watching you play with all that tactical accurate chit chat is always awesome, gives me goosebumps when something really intense happens !
the way your 'DOOO BLBLBLBLBL' perfectly matched that missile movement really cracked me up, great video!
Great stuff love it. Been flight simming for a million years. This is so great t see. No trolling just flying and learning and do it better. Brilliant.
I'm going to have to get into DCS eventually. This takes me WAY back to 1994, playing Fleet Defender, which was a super detailed and highly technical F-14 sim. Basically the concept of DCS, but focused on the Tomcat and, of course, limited to what we could do with a mid-90s PC.
I feel the need, the need for SPEED!
IT'S HAPPENING EVERYONE, DREWSKI IS IN THE CAT! I REPEAT, DREWSKI IS IN THE CAT!
You forgot to watch Fighter Fling 2002 through 2004 as part of your F-14 training. Nothing kindles my nostalgia more than seeing early 2000s footage of the Tomcat while a Hoobastank song plays. Last Time, Baby...
the f14 is the absolute most badass naval plane ever made. TITANIUM!
2:17 I was caught off guard with that
Man this editing work gave me nerd chills. Well done..
04:50 top gun vibes right there
The intro is perfect. I don't even need to watch what's next, that intro counts as gold content to me 3:42
you can't argue the F-14 has really smooth flying in dcs
Drew that F-18 video got me into trying DCS and I notice on the hoggit a good 50% of new players come from your videos. These do so much for the game! Thank you! also that Mover "not good enough" kid meme was great drama love it. Keep it up!
Great flying Drewski!
I love your content dude, keep it up!
As someone who's Grandfather flew these planes for almost 2 decades this was an extremely fun video to watch.
That cinematic with the changing angles was beautiful
Thank you for not only flying but explaining why your doing things and how your doing them to teach people who don’t know much about aviation.
I just got the f/a 18 and I’m still learning I’m not going into guns and armament yet I’m still mastering the flying aspect of the planes.
26:13 if it was my girl, she would be: "good job dude, you did it! Now go get a real job!
I don’t know what’s going on but I love it.
wow I am new to dcs and this is my first aircraft I am learning with I now feel proud of the fact that i took off from a carrier and made a successful bombing run. I thought I was doing something wrong until now. In air refueling is too hard for me right now but im working on it.
Awesome work mate the music went really well as well great job there if you like low flying through valleys would love to see you handle the viggen
Keep up the great work mate
Well, I can say for sure that you over G'd a lot your F-14, since your INS seems to be shattered or bent most of the time (the artificial horizon not aligning with the actual horizon). Might have had trouble firing Phoenixes or Sparrows then.
your not trying hard enough if the aircraft isn't a slightly different shape when you get back to base
It’s supposed to be depressed about 5 degrees underneath the actual horizon in the tomcat
I love the tomcat easily the coolest looking aircraft the us ever put into service and not to mention it got a game in tomcat alley a master piece if i may say. God i love the f14
13:45
Flying NOE in the Rockies on FS is how I got hooked on flying!
i love it in dcs and battlefield when ur being chased while going through mountains and end up getting a maneuver kill

great video man. Hope you're channel grows to 3mil in 2021.
Hot little tomcat.... scraping the glass on those mountains, well done!
Drewski you know that you can use the TCS (the camera on the nose) to guide the AIM54 I also find it useful to spy on locked targets so I know when they launch missiles and can kinetically counter them or turn cold if within the MAR.
Man wtf are you on about you can't guide a fucking Phoenix with the TCS....
@@TheStalkingSniper ACM Flap up
TCS track on a target
aim in the general area.
Fire.
its a very rough line of sight/angle off track but it does work. You know its working because the Pheonix will drop and move slightly toward the target.
Usually it will just carry on ahead of you with the ACM flap up.
Check the patch notes if you don't believe me Heatblur recently fixed it around 1-2 patches ago.
@@glassfullofmilk omg dude what you just said has nothing to do with the TCS...
When you flip the acm cover up phoenix' are set to mad dog, meaning they will turn their seekers on and go active right off the rail.
The TCS literally plays not part in this..
16:36 'Oh I can now officially say i've watched Top Gun, it wasn't that good but it was still fun' The sheer audacity on this man, disgusting...
More DCS content please! I've never even heard of the game before this video but this was a stellar video.
Thanks drew, my dad was a f14 rio and I never got to really ask him about his experiences before he passed. F*cking bad ass. Love your dcs content!
Everyone here talking about the plane but no one doing a double take when Drewski says he's married
I was surprised.
im early for once, considering ive been here for years. Its a first lol
When I was in the Navy my sister squadron the Grim Reapers were all F14's, years later one by one, I watched them go to the hanger a few down from ours to get dismantled. Such a sad sight. I didn't realize they were getting phased out, I just thought they were getting upgrades until someone told me.
I honestly recommend the f-14 to any one who wants an easy to start jet and the weapons are easy too, and also it can takeoff and land from carriers
“You are your own worst enemy.....and the idiot who doesn’t check his IFF” -someone I dunno who but I assume he’s important
Haven’t seen the vid yet but if he doesn’t play danger zone i will be sad
As part of my job in the Navy was listening to radar signals for counter detection threats. The F-14 uses an AWG9 surface search radar that has a very very distinctive sound to it. It sounds almost like the “gronk” droid (the walking trash can droid) for Star Wars...a deep kind of “bbwaaaamp”
Hey Drewski, soo I really want to see more air supports cause I want the reaction when your supporting them, is really satisfying when getting praise, so yeah hopely you do an air support vid

Tomcat is a joy to fly, i haven't even touched the weapons systems really yet but it is super rewarding to pilot! I find the fly by wire stuff extremely capable but pretty boring after so much time in old prop planes that easily depart flight.
You flying that plane is how it feels for me when I drive my manual Jeep Compass over any automatic car I've ever driven (say for a 2019 R8 I drove with Xtreme Xperience). There's a connection like no other with something more mechanical.
