Ace Combat 8 Database
F-14D Super Tomcat 
A derivative of the large carrier-based fighter, developed to directly cover carrier battle groups. It is able to use long-range anti-air missiles and is capable of attacking enemies carrying anti-ship missiles from outside their range of fire. Featuring an F110-GE-400 engine and automatic variable wings, it is incredibly dangerous in aerial combat at both high and low speeds. Moreover, the inclusion of a LANTIRN navigation and targeting system means that in addition to fleet air defense, it can also be used in air superiority battles, precision bombing, and more. The avionics system has also undergone major upgrades, and the new design incorporates a glass cockpit and new AN/APG-71 radar. It is also furnished with cutting-edge systems such as the Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ), Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS), Infrared Search and Track (IRST), and more. Its unofficial nickname, "Super Tomcat," is derived from the A-model.

Flight model
The raw flight data from the game files (campaign version). Speeds are in km/h. The other numbers use the game's own units. The values keep the game's field names, because what most of them do is still unknown. Under Stability and Defense are the fields that match those in-game bars best. Mobility matches the rotation rates. How the game calculates the bars is unknown.
The game's curve points for this aircraft are out of order (a lower speed follows a higher one); they are drawn as stored.
