@near_blind

I’m sitting on a bunch of domain knowledge. I’d love to apply and share it

Judging by the quality of your postings on this forum, I am really looking forward to that. Heatblur would do good to allow you early access.

[this post is meant entirely unironic and sincere!]

@near_blind

then got bored and started scouring through DTIC and the declassified CIA archives about US and Soviet doctrine from the 1950s through the 1980s, then for stuff and giggles went through and traced the historical context and technological development that informed those decisions back through the 40s

You have my utter and complete attention on this subject! I too have a library of books and the navops manuals but this is awesome. Any idea where I could find this information for myself other than a quick search?

Ah, I got ya, and feel your pain. Definitely a tough place to be when it comes to DCS release stuff. I remember torturing my coworkers and myself when LOMAC was first being developed looking a those screen caps almost every day for a year or two. That water man. Those graphics! WHEN will it come out already!

[Anklebiter]

Ahahaha. You guys are mean.…

[BeachAV8R]

The wait is insufferable. But Fighter Ops is gonna be the bomb…!

@Navynuke99

Fighter Ops

They should have taken the Star Citizen funding route…

[Navynuke99]

Seriously though, @near_blind, you and @Hangar200 could do a YouTube and Twitch show together: Tomcat Talk.

“Ah, the F-14A couldn’t stay inverted that long! I’m feeling verklempt, talk amongst yourselves! I’ll give you a subject: better pilot, Hawk or Hoser?”

[Phantom88]

I’m going to post ridiculous and despicable TopGun GIF’s until I’m removed from the forum and given The role of “Wolfman” in The TopGun remake!!!

[near_blind]

@Navynuke99

Hawk or Toeser?”

One of those people still has all his appendages attached. #JustSayin

[Anklebiter]

I had to Google it…

Glad I missed that one. A good period there where my interests were elsewhere. Now that we’ve been married for 15 years, back in the cockpit!

Fighter Ops? Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.

[Victork2]

I have the words ‘right for lineup’ and ‘tomcat ball’ stuck going round in my head.

After leaving this thread and then coming back after few hours:

[Brennus]

Oops. I somehow missed that NB had already posted the video…

Whatever, watch it anyway.

[Gunnyhighway]

I think we should all band together and boycott the F-14 until @near_blind receives a copy of it.

I am vowing not to purchase it until he does.
