Air combat is hard.
But, like, it was also a big tactical blunder, when merged with a Tomcat, to try to run away. Even with a clean just that's just not going to happen.
Oh well, at least I defeated its AIM-7 shots with my ECM, and forced it to get me with an AIM-9.
(This one was my flight leads's fault, we really ought to have pressed the F-14 instead of trying to get away. Not that the outcome would necessarily have been different (I'm not particularly good with AIM-9Ms) but it couldn't have been any worse than getting blown up, right?)
