Hello, soldiers!
Today, I bring you my favorite aircraft of all time (and I'm sure others will agree).
Today, I present to you the legendary "F-14 Mav"!
Of course, I can't use the original names, but I tried to get as close as possible to retain the spirit of that movie we all loved!
The F-14 was born as an interceptor and was widely used by the Navy.
Its strengths, besides its aesthetics (which makes me feel like a teenager at my favorite boy band concert every time I see it), were its powerful engines, a highly advanced radar, and above all, its armament.
This aircraft's AA missiles had an insane range for its time, which could lead to its enemies being destroyed before they even knew of the existence of good old "Tommy."
In my game, I tried to maintain the "sacredness" I have for this aircraft, without forcing it to be the best of all the others (and I tell you, there are SO MANY!).
In translating our Mav from reality to the video game, I ran into a significant problem: in the front, there's the pilot, who's incredibly cool, we all know that, but in the back, there's another crew member... what the hell do I make the second crew member do???
In reality, he was in charge of managing the powerful radar and maintaining communications, but in my game, this made no sense.
So that amazing BF3 mission aboard the plane comes in handy!
Reworking the idea a bit, the second crew member will have additional AA missiles at his disposal and will be able to lock onto enemies independently, obviously taking into account the trajectory of his own plane.
Both crew members will have a certain number of missiles, likely of different power and different locking methods. One of these two missiles will be unique to the F-14 Mav (this is my little tribute to the king) and will have the greatest range and power compared to the other AA missiles. Obviously, even more powerful missiles can be launched from the ground. The pilot will also be able to use a 20mm rotary cannon, great for close-in enemies and when the cool missiles run out!
In short: the Mav will be an interceptor fighter, therefore geared exclusively for air superiority.
It can have two crew members, both with offensive capabilities and health insurance!
What are the king of the skies' main enemies?
Definitely ground-based anti-aircraft, although it will also be able to rely on flares.
Furthermore, fast units like flies, dragonflies, and the most modern stealth aircraft, which missiles can't lock on to, could give it a hard time.
Stay tuned, and tell all your friends, because I'm trying to include so many units and vehicles that it will take you weeks to test them all!
PS: In the photos below, you will also find a very accurate, high-definition reconstruction of the most famous scene from the film that we all love.
THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG!
