The Tomcat is just such an amazingly capable bomber, with LANTIRN, Jester and GBU, and also just with dumb bombs and there so little impact on speed and range. It is probably one of the fastest ways to get 2x2000lbs and 2x1000lbs GBUs over a long distance.
When I finally found out about Jester being able to use map markers it was both a huge relief and slap in the face. I had been using QHUD for so damn long...
Reflected is great. His Tomcat campaigns in particular are brilliant, and required purchases even for multiplayers. Your videos are good, dude. Concise and informative. And you have a calming, reassuring voice. Anyone ever told you that? Haha 😂
@Tricker you know your stuff mate, another plus. It's a telling indicator when you understand something where you can relay it in plain English to someone who doesn't. Always the mark of a man who knows his onions.
The LANTIRN is actually a bit borked in the current update. Totally overexposed/washed out to the point that it can't be compensated for with VDI brightness/contrast controls. Not very usable without jester.
I somewhat agree but with a 1440p monitor and adjusting the gamma a bit or playing with the settings a little you can get a pretty decent picture out of it. Believe they are trying to recreate the green glow a little too much from.the type of TV set it uses.
Great vid as always and im going to get back in the cat and have a go at this. I've not done any A2G at all in it so this is going to be fun, cheers again buddy
Something that, for me anyway, enhances the experience of learning this beast is watching "Speed and Angels", the fantastic documentary about the last 2 USN pilots trained for the F-14. Oh..... I got "fired" as grip on video crew at a Navy vs Virginia football game in Annapolis....... the camera op had me watch for the pair of F-14's single-pass flyover while he was setting up. I asked, "Want me to get tripod and cables and monitor ready???" He barked, "NO, just watch for those planes!!!!!!!". Ohhhh-kay... they'll fly over that tree line to the east. From where I am, that's about 15 degrees elevation before even visible, then visible for about 3-4 seconds and GONE..... woops well, NOW they're gone til NEXT year!!!!!!!! :) :) That quick :) The camera wasn't even out of the case yet.
No need to put the wings in bomb mode when dropping LGBs with the pod. Putting the wings in bomb mode is a good idea when dropping dumb bombs in a dive with CCIP. When you are dropping in a dive with ccip it is helpful to have the wings not moving in order to be more stable. When dropping LGBs from altitude you just need to be lined up on the lantirn's steering cue, you can leave the wings in auto.
Great video. I cant lie i kinda miss when it was a special thing to be a rio who could use the lantern pod because there was no other way without mods 😂
This was a very helpful and easy to follow video epically for newbies. I love the F-14 and now I can drop LG Bombs. When I get the jester command to drop, I drop. The target pods stays lined up and Jester Say "Good Hit" but here is the problem I'm having. The bomb always misses by exactly the same margin every time. Any others have this problem? Thanks. The instruction in this video are spot on. Great examples to learn here. But Jester saying "Good Hit" and the bomb missing by the same margin every time has to some sort of glitch.
I'm having an issue where even though I follow the steps as outlined in the video, Jester tells me "valid laser ranging" but then I never get steering cues (e.g. turn left/right x degrees) or time to release info, which means I'm not able to release my ordnance. I've checked master arm on. He works fine when I have him look for targets but it never works when I try to have him designate a static object. Any help would be appreciated!
Guys, i dont know, i followed every guide, every video, but this plane is just horrible, all my bombs miss, all my phoenixes miss im starting to think i have been ripped off because i havent had a single good flying moment with the f-14 and im very sad about it.
@@TrickerDCS I really wish i could say the same, maybe im a dumbass but i cant seem to be able to do anything with it, i can with a f-16 and f-18, but not a f-14.
Im just having a lot of trouble with the Paveways, maybe it has been altered in a new update, but my bombs seem to go completely off target, even with my plane leveled and my bomb on-target, i still miss and it goes AWOL (which also happens to me with the phoenix but anyway) maybe you can tell me whats wrong, i really dont want to be a burden on your time though.
Ya know, I don't play DCS, and I don't understand about 80% of what u saying, but I still really enjoy ur videos. There's just something about them that I find entertaining. Oh, and is this the A or B variant? I can't really tell the visual difference between the two.
Judging from the skins, it's most likely the A variant. One way to tell between the F-14A and B from outside is the engines. F-14Bs and Ds have silver engine nozzles/petals while F-14As have black ones.

11:30 this is the reason why Tomcat is the greatest "module" in DCS. I have friends that feels less human than Jester

You do the best tutorials by far because you include all the things you need in order to actually drop bombs.

Jester AI is such an awesome piece of software! Happy times for flightsimmers.

@Plucky Underdog Well I appreciate it, I try my best to give out the most accurate information while trying to explain it as well. 💪💪
Wow, just as I'm looking for a nice tutorial for bombing in the Tomcat.
Just picked her up during Christmas and she's awesome, thanks for the guide.
I don't know how jester knows what type of vehicle is targeting, you can't see any details with the lantirn.
Jester knows all!
Outstanding military intel...

@@Daniel-jq4qk wich one is helpful decreasing or increasing the gamma ?
Your voice like a music for me. Good video. Thank you!
Keep up the awesome work! I'd be glad to see some more stuff for the Tomcat in particular.
You got it!
Excellent dude didnt even know about the eyeball mode, loving these short/to the point vids great refreshers.
Best toturial i have ever seen 🥶🥶more tomcat guides pls
I have not flown the Tomcat in ages, Jester has come a long way!
Could you do a BVR tutorial with just Jester AI?
I'll put it on the list!
@@TrickerDCS
Whoa, this is a hell good video tutorial! Thank you for publishing it.
thanks for video man. im starting to slowly figure out jester
I did not know all these modes of dropping gpu with Jester are implemented. Waoh! that is good revelation. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video. It answered a lot of questions I had.
Great vid as always and im going to get back in the cat and have a go at this. I've not done any A2G at all in it so this is going to be fun, cheers again buddy
My man being on out the OG Tomcat A.
Thx for this Trick, one of the last steps for me to master that Beauty.
Thank you Tricker.
great,helps a lot, thanks👍
I have never done any air to ground in the tomcat with the LGBs. I might have to check this out. Thanks for the video
Kaboom! I'm finally getting into bombcattery, so thank you for this!
Excellent video
Bro i actually love you i got the tomcat but i was so confused about everything
Damn was looking for a video explaining how to do this. Nice video bro very easy to follow
Very good, nice vids.

I learn from you
WOW that looks pretty easy got to try it.
Two SAM sites down :3 thank you for the guide! :D
Any time!
man i missed your voice. Getting back into dcs after a few year break there. Thanks for the work you do man.
What it do sneak
This is for the future time, when I lease F-14! Until then, it's Tricker ASMR. 😉😎👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻

I identify as a transforming tomcat
But thank you for the tip
Great video. No need to sweep wing to bomb mode for laser guided bomb drops. It's only necessary for unguided ordinance.
Good vids
Great video. I cant lie i kinda miss when it was a special thing to be a rio who could use the lantern pod because there was no other way without mods 😂
This is so sick, I’m still getting my feet wet with vtol vr. Love these kinda vids

Wait so did the WSO need to manually track a target as the aircraft maneuvered or did they lock it like more modern jets
Coolest shit ever tricker, amazing video
How did you stop following that GBU-24 at the end of its fall?
how did you turn off the pilot model? I've flown on a server that has the pilot in constant view and I could never seen the panels.
I'm having an issue where even though I follow the steps as outlined in the video, Jester tells me "valid laser ranging" but then I never get steering cues (e.g. turn left/right x degrees) or time to release info, which means I'm not able to release my ordnance.

Everytime i tried weapon release it just fired my gun, help?
the eye cue and had tracking doesnt work. i click it in the menu and the red dot doesnt appar

Not a big fan of american planes but gotta admit the F-14 is beautiful, but however inferior in a MiG-29 in dogfight
