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!
i am super jealous right now Bo, you know that?
It will be interesting to see how this works. Got to admit I was expecting some knock off version of Danger Zone play whenever some play plays the F14 😂
Amazing vid
I think think that ham should look underneath him next time
@@foxtrot2alpha960 By law I think I was at fault though lol
PLAAAAAAAYING....PLAAAAAYING WITH THE BOYS
When are we doing the BV-238 video sir! Why are you ducking my calls! Are you afraid?
I want to witness the return of the luftwaffee pirates bud! Your galleons await!
Do you have 5k likes yet?
@@MilitaryAviationHistory 5100 sir.
@@botimegaming Bo TBLF, and Harries sounds just as chaotic not going to lie.
Turns out the song “Danger Zone” was a foreshadowing of Bo’s F-14 piloting skills
In that it was absolutely awesome of course!
Dunno, Ham's seemed more dangerous to me.
Yes
😂
More like Ham's piloting skills but then...that's always been the case. How many times has Ham blurted out "hey watch this" and flown straight into a building or trees or something? We sure the "enemy nation" doesn't have a plant in the squadron xD?
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
Isn't that a "mad dog" missile?
Yes
@@lt.lettuce2023 no, mad dog missile is firing a missile without lock at a tatget within 10 miles for amraams and i think 5 for Phoenix, it will go pitbull off the rail and lock into the first thing it seens in a 10 degree angle
@@lt.lettuce2023 Technically it's a "cheap shot" ceasing supporting the missile mid-phase before it is close enough to autonomously guide.
We tried a lot at high Alt with TWS and SRC with on and it still struggled to hit targets. I appreciate the information, I only included those clips because those were the only times the missiles hit anything. Zuit and I spent hours trying to get it to work... and not much dice yesterday. This was my first time flying it and using that weapon system. I plan on revisiting it today on stream and trying to get better with it.
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.
I don't know, man. Putting throttle to 0% so you can turn faster by sacrificing all your speed tells a different story.
He's not really flying it right, though. Not using the afterburner as much as he should, going all the way down to zero throttle to turn tighter but also bleeding all of his speed, poor situational awareness, etc.
However, I'm not going to blame him for it, as his content is not heavily geared towards actual gameplay and more towards humor and shenanigans. If you want a more serious guide/ how-to-fly youtuber for WT, I would recommend Defyn and possibly Beer Thunder.
yeah hes had a lot of practice with flying in general in the game. he just has to learn nuance as it applied to each jet
@@cheesuschrist5017 I broke the habit of afterburning through every turn because the pesky Russian missiles were very good at hitting hits in my experience. Shutting down the afterburning and engine while turning I found kept me alive much more later in the day and actually caused missiles to chase my flares. That was just my day 1 experience though and I was trying a bunch of different stuff to find a better way to survive in the F-14.
@@ollilaine6763 F-14A is not as fast as you may think it is. A couple aircraft in-game can chase it down and kill it. I slammed back on the engines to cut down the heat signature to try and shut down the bonfire that says, hey missile come over here. I was prolly to aggressive with that but we had a very bad day of trying to doge Russian missiles lol. It was my first time flying something like this in WT and I am sure we will get better with it. Thanks for watching the video!
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!
Bravo!! HAHAHAHA!
XD Brilliant!!
10s in and TBLF already crashed into each other lol, this will be an amazing video as always.
That wasn’t crashing, that was closed beta footage of testing for the corvair F2Y sea dart
That wasn't crashing, it was "skillfully merging into one"
hey, I saw you guys in one of my matches yesterday! Great to see ya and love your content!
Thanks for saying hi!
@@botimegaming Same here friend
I'm impressed by how much abuse from teammates the Tomcat can take and still remain airborne.
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!
not sure they really had the time to come up with quotes while trying to keep themselves in their own planes and out of the others.
It wasn't hard to predict that Bo's callsign would become "Clueless..."
Just did a call sign generator for my friends and I got “Hound, Bubba, smurf and chaos. Absolutely 10/10 🤣
I did generator for myself and my cousin & uncle and got Barrel (Myself), Muskey (Cousin) and Uncle (Uncle). Lol
@@SeriouslySirius1066 10/10 🤣
Watching me get killed is kinda funny ngl
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!
Same for me. I'm only at the F6f in the navy air line. :(
that was the f18
@@grafspee569 ?
@@braedynhoward3644 hmm?
@@grafspee569 oh dear, oh no you didn’t
my favorite quote from bo is "This is the worst squadron ever".
First words, "HAM!" You know something is up.
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
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
Yep
@Hey, I hope you're doing okay. No shit Sherlock
@Hey, I hope you're doing okay. Hoes mad
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.
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
Thank you so much!
Seeing you in that F-14 taking off with an F-4 looked awesome!
I love this little ragtag team! There’s no obstacle they can’t overcome… well, maybe except themselves.
"I don't know
it hit somethin'
i'm proud of it."
Now there's a positive attitude.
When flying top tier jets it is either that or cry lol
If you encourage the missile, it will more better know where it is and where it isn’t
"Hit the brakes, he'll fly right by." Such a Top gun quote, love the F-14!
Yo! This video was AWESOME! Loved every second of it. Keep the amazing work yall do putting these videos together. ❤
2:47 is what I loved doing in Strike Fighters 2, one of the best video games ever!
Not even half a minute in and you guys already cost Uncle Sam about 76 million USD. This is gonna be good
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!
After trying out that Top Gun Callsign Generator, here's what my siblings Callsign were
Me: *Zoom*
My older brother: *Buff*
My younger brother: *Yellowblood*
My youngest brother: *Skyhawk*
My youngest sister: *Vampire*
In my opinion I think my sister got the coolest Callsign
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.
10:39 would have been a perfects "ima hit the air brake and he is going to fly right by moment"
Let’s go! I’ve been waiting forever for the Bo Crew to get F14’s!! Great video as always!
Hopefully it was worth the wait :)
An absolute treat for sure, certainly can be my wingman any time
If Hambone keeps up his antics, he'll find hinself flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog sh!t out of Hong Kong. Incidentally, my call sign is "Oldfart".
Oi my squad was in that first game lmao
20:48 start of the mating dance of the Tomcat.
"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
those were some pretty good kills... i congratulate u bo o7
Saw you, Stick, and Zuit on Korea yesterday while playing my MiG-27K
do you play with HOTAS or a"flight stick"some call it or a mouse and if you did use either what did you do to get use to it?
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.
Now that we have a 4th Gen. aircraft, what others from the same Gen. could come?
The MiG-25? Or something else.
Another Great vid Bo. I love the F-14 and had " Danger Zone" Running through my head the whole time lol!
i feel that the tblf tag gives collision damage negation vs other tblf
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
honestly the F104A is a pain when stock but after you get performance and the 9Bs it becomes half decent all you need is 2 kills w/o premium and you should make a profit or at least a super small loss
how do you move your camera without moving plane?
So... If Bo gets shot down u guys will be cluless!
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!
I feel like Stick is used to being the last one Alive
You are like Tom Cruise but BETTER!
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.
As always thanks for braving top tier in order to give us great content!
Bo you keep mentioning Top Gun, but you forget about A6M2 Vs F14 from Final Countdown.....next comunity event?
Fitting the last game ended in a flat spin lol
Awesome video as always! Have you seen the new Top Gun?
I have not yet. I was actually planning on going early next week.
@@botimegaming it’s so damn good, see it in imax if you can
Bo you have to maintain the lock it's a Fox 3 missile it will turn to it's own radar like 5 miles from the target maybe a bit further. If you want to understand mechanic of Phoenix go watch some films about dcs world you will get all your needed knowledge. Have a good day
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
Ah the Tomcat, the most anticipated jet in the game so far, always happy to watch some Bo & Co content! Thanks for the video!
My topgun callsign is "Mighty 'Hairy Beaver' N0ob" ... Thanks topgun callsign generator.
Use your after burner at all times
Do the F-14B
Oh man this one and all your guy's antics had me cackling. Great work Bo and team.
You guys are incredible! I'm hoping to run into you in WT, or even better, cover your six.
Fun fact: It's assessed that the Dodo bird didn't go extinct due to a lack of intelligence. It's currently assumed that they died to overhunting, but not because they were too stupid to defend themselves, perse. But instead, due to the fact that they thrived on a secluded habitat, cut off from other environments and having had no real threats for thousands of years, lost their sense of fear. We believe, currently, that a combination of overhunting and a genuine curiosity from the birds perspective led to their eventual extinction. It's a lot more depressing thinking about it like that.
Does this mean we'll be finally getting a video of Bo playing the F-4 Phantom sometime soon?
12:34 BO SERIOUSLY LMAO
Jesus, look how fast that fuel gauge goes down while on afterburner
Ham can we have less ramming?? 😄
No really, even i can crash stuff regularly. You guys are supposed... (¤ why do i keep hearing playing with tha booysss in my head!!)... to be showing us the dangerzone stuff!!
Hey its fun but i feel we kinda missed out a little on the f14
After years of waiting , can we REDO this video now??
And ham TIE YOUR HANDS behind your back!!! 😆
The AIM-54s on this thing blew my mind , got 5 kills from 20+ km away 4 minutes into the match!
Oh my god.. I died with the nuzzling, never laughed so hard.
I lost it at the "don't stick your nose between my..." part
The amount of plane to plane contact they managed without exploding is as impressive as any of the kills were
Lol comparing this game from when you start out to where you end feels like a completely different game. Kind of sad I gotta push the grind to get there.
Best Top gun quote
Hot physics professor: Lieutenant what were you doing there?
Maverick and Goose: Communicating, Communicating
Maverick: Keeping up foreign relations... you know Giving him the bird
Goose: You know the finger
How many years would I have to grind to play with the F-14 in war thunder?
Great video today Bo! Lots of fun watching you four blast around in the F-14's.
16:57 YOOOO IM ON TV MOM
Can’t say if it carried over to Fallon, but while the program was still at Miramar if you quoted the movie there was a $5 fine. So I’m told anyway. But considering how loonie people who will only say TOMCAT! are, I’d believe it.
god damnit Ham! LUL
Ham and zuit, doing ham and zuit things
Good missile shots, do some more of tha pilot shit bo!
OMG, when ham booped you several times i lost my shit laughing.
Oh boy, those call signs.
Ham, you muppet!
Shout outs to ham, stick and zuit for tagging in
so does it come with tom cruise included?
Good seeing Zuit in another vid!
Thanks to him, Stick, and Ham for all the added hilarity :)
“What happened to formation flying?” Me skips five seconds ahead: “ YOUR NOT A DOLPHIN”
Watch the birdie
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.
I recall how proud I was to finally fly a Hurrican Mk.II rather than a Gladiator in the open beta.
This game has powercrept so much, it is unrecognizable.
If you told me back in 1.29 that the F-14 was gonna be in this game. I would have laughed and thought it was impossible. Well, they did it and the model, sounds, and flight model for an aircraft like this on patch day... actually impressed me.
@@botimegaming
That's good news, as a matter of fact.
However, the few moments of high tier gameplay I had (due to the immense grind to use any of these machines), it felt a bit off to me. I feel like WT worked perfectly well for WWII machinery.
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X That's why mid-tier is peak War Thunder, and always will be. The balance in that tier is impeccable when compared to the mess that is Missile Thunder
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
@0:53 "We've lost half hour squad."
Aren't you used to that by now?
Anyway, I don't usually care for WT jets, but this was a very fun episode.
Bo, your childhood sounds a lot like my childhood. Except I was in Indiana. However we are both Bo's so, you know, we might be twins. maybe.
"Hey Fox, that woke 'em up!" Wait, that's the wrong movie... ah, screw it, I prefer The Final Countdown.
Bo Ice is Clue
Stickboy is Buzz Kill
Zuit is Dagger
Ham is GunDog/Gun
Puppy
Who’s going to see top gun maverick
Already been.
TBLF foreign relations department sure is looking good!
first time its funny... 2nd and succssive bumping by Ham it's ANNOYING....
30 seconds in
And i Bursted out laughing
Like always 😂
Would it be another other way?
How does you view the stats for the aircraft? Is there something in the settings? Also I did that Top Gun Callsign Generator, and I got Clapperclaw. I'm retrying over and over to get better ones, and I keep getting insults.
Awesome video the call signs seem appropriate except for yours I think Blue would have been better Bo "BLUE" Ice
The sour circulation virtually form because branch systematically perform except a unkempt sprout. ten, lackadaisical wound
So now we’ve got the F14.....
When do we get the TU95???
Admit it we want to hunt some bears at 30,000 feet!
POV: you are weird and use w and a to increase and decrease your throttle and have hold WEP on
Need more plane nuzzling in your videos lol. Loved today's video and can't wait to see more from this update
Funniest thing I’ve seen on WT videos
My favorite top gun quote is “just keeping foreign relations”
by far one of the most enjoyable Bo Time Gaming videos yet! Thanks for the content!
Yes as soon as the update was coming out I was just waiting for this
Haha F-14 is here, let’s make a broken overly advanced plane and put it in the game but let’s not fix the servers, fix the bugs or even make other nations like japan and Italy get any new vehicle that isn’t ctrl C ctrl V
