The F-14 is now it's own sm file, as is the F-15. I just ran an Africa mission where two Tomcats were inbound to intercept two F-15's leaving their airfield on a CAP mission. I sat in the tower at the F-15's field and decided to just sit back and enjoy the show.First each Tomcat quickly got behind each F-15 and I thought FOR SURE they would both win. Well, what happened was both the F-14's ganged up on one F-15 and sure enough, the other F-15 snuck in behind the Tomcats. Ok, so now I'm thinking one F-15 is gonna have those Tomcats for lunch. Wrong again! An F-14 broke off and high tailed it out of there, and the other one "appeared" to chicken out and lost control, slamming into a hillside! It was great!
So now I'm thinking, my turn. While the F-14 was making a run for it I jumped in and swung the nose around. I honestly didn't think I'd win, but I did. I got into a furball with both of them and after they did some tricky maneuvers for a bit I finally took them both out. But man, it was great!
Here's a pick of the two new jets together before I changed the F-15s to German.

Notes: They do appear to be the correct size when viewed from decent angles (in the pic it doesn't look right). The F-14's wings are about 22 feet wider when forward swept. There is still LOTS of work to be done on both of them, esp the F-15. Thats all for now, enjoy!
