F-14E Buzzer Tomcat Block 10
Naval Fleet Defender/Interdictor

A variant of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat built by FlightArms CAC primarily for the Tactical Forces Military's Global Naval Combat branch, and was also adopted by the Global Air Combat branch later on.

The Tomcat had it's fair share of heavy action in service with the TFM; Being mainly deployed as an interdictor, responsible for taking out key targets behind or within enemy lines. It's suicidal primary role takes advantage of the jet's high speed, robust build, and the tactics employed by it's pilots, which gave it an unexpectedly decent survivability despite the high risk of sorties it undertakes.

The TFMGAC very quickly took notice of the Tomcat's excellent success in it's Naval Branch. It didn't take long before Central Command approved the purchase of this very promising fighter. With this, the branch had formed a new squadron, whose fighters would primarily be composed of the F-14E.

This same squadron would utilize the capabilities of the Tomcat in surprise raids against enemy strongholds, albeit with the risk far higher than what the Navy experienced. GAC pilots would fly their Tomcats at breakneck speeds in dangerously low altitude to avoid enemy radar coverage, bypassing defenses and popping up out of nowhere right behind their positions, razing ground and air forces, dive back down, and leave, with minimal losses.

The 3rd Fighter Squadron of the 51st Combat Wing would further use these high-risk, high-reward tactics across many sorties, and would still persist today. The ever-rising notoriety of the squadron's tactics led them to being called "Buzzers". Since then, the word had become synonymous with the 3rd Squadron and their Tomcats, eventually becoming official.

The Buzzer Tomcat has now reached retirement after 24 years of active service in both branches. It made it's final run in Serbia during the second TFM-Darkcorp War, where they bombarded bases behind Darkcorp lines to deter reinforcement efforts and soften resistance for the rest of the allied invasion. It has been succeeded by the F/A-18E Buzzer Hornet in it's roles in both the GAC and GNC branches.
