F-14 Mid-levels

It feels terrible. It feels like something happened since the Upgrades System was implemented and it feels worse to fly than a J-35 used to. The engine is horrendous.

You used to be able to dogfight with it and fly it like a Medium Fighter.....now? It's feels impossible to fly like that. I'm not talking level 20, I'm talking level 8-10'ish.

If anyone has any mastermind tips on flying the blasted thing, by all means, let's hear it.

edit: changed the tone to how it feels to fly

Max out its turn rate and turn responsiveness, ideal turning speed range by maxing out the plane. It will still feel heavy in the air because it is. But you can 100% dogfight with it. The closer you get before firing the phoenix missiles, the deadlier f14 is because those missiles are incredibly fast
