I've been told that the A model was allowed to use AB on takeoff but due to the more powerful engines in the B and D models it was not normally allowed. This in case the burner failed on one engine on takeoff. I used full power on both engines but AB on the left only.
It was because asymmetric thrust in the.B/D due to flame it out in burner could result in loss of control. The A version needed both engines in afterburner because if one engine flamed out, the peaky TF-30 engines did not make enough thrust in military power to safely climb out if the plane was at max takeoff weight. It was totally safe to just use military power in the A version when it was lightly loaded and you can find old videos from the 70s of F-14A taking off in mil power.
You'll see some old footage of even loaded B/D Tomcats taking off from carriers with no afterburner. The easiest way to tell the variants apart while out at sea.
AB launches were not authorized at the ship, one reason being the case of engine failure but also because the AB launch would overspeed the launch shuttle.
@@MakkaravuoriIncorrect. The engine power had increased in the B/D variant to the degree AB was not needed. From a former US Navy AD-1 who worked directly on the Tomcat.
Tf30 was zone 2 at prep and zone 5 after the shuttle took off. 110s didn't need AB and as you showed asym thrust could cause a hellva ride off the deck with a flame out.
You need a physical throttle with two separate axes that can be unlinked. If your throttle has only one axis you could map one engine to that and the other engine another axis.
Supercarrier isn't worth it at its current or even sales price imo. The flight deck crew do function, but they are kind of lacking. ED has been really slow with Supercarrier feature updates too.

Awesome!
jf do you happen to know what would happen when the f-14 radar lost the target during a tws lock?

@@jf4872 thank you for answering, i was trying to find it in manuals but it didn't say that anywhere
thank you for your service it reminds me sorta of the corsair how the late f4u-4as would torque spin or something like that because of the power

Exactly the reason

It all makes sense now…
IIRC, AB launches were authorized at the ship, prohibited at the field for B/D variants.

@@jf4872 these are not mutually exclusive, both can be true. And if IIRC both are.
@@cypher1o1 and the Burners would start to melt the JBDs
"and here we go!"
DAMN YOUR VOICE IS ORIGINAL. AND IT BURNS BURNS BURNS
AB launches were only used if taking off near the max takeoff weight on B/D
Sorry if this sounds odd, but your voice/accent just sounds so smooth I felt I had to mention it. Ever considered voice acting or narration?
He sounds like he can pull off a mean Sean Connery accent. 😄
I'd recognize that pfp anywhere, Smowl.
@@joespeed1952 Oh hi :D
Tf30 was zone 2 at prep and zone 5 after the shuttle took off. 110s didn't need AB and as you showed asym thrust could cause a hellva ride off the deck with a flame out.
Maybe if you had both burners lit you wouldn't have had this issue.
Where's the fun in that? ;)
Please tell me how to split throttle
You need a physical throttle with two separate axes that can be unlinked. If your throttle has only one axis you could map one engine to that and the other engine another axis.
Yaw factor becomes oh shit factor. 😅
Yaw factor becomes ayo factor
wdym d version? i don't think it's in dcs
It is not in dcs but he probably refer at irl because the B and D model had the same engines
this is most sneaky bug i ever seen lol... and that's one more reason to use bigger fov, then you would see the left fuel flow higher
Bug? This was a deliberate demonstration to show why a real-life policy existed.
These bots on the carrier are only good for visual effects and do not enhance simulation realism, which I find quite disappointing.
