A large, fast fleet defense fighter with surprising dogfight skills, the variable geometry Poseidon is similar to the F-14 Tomcat in capabilities. It was well known for its three engine layout, the "roll tabs" on the ends of the elevators, as well as the "baby bump" integrated gunpod.
On takeoff, keep the wings in the middle. Soon after, sweep them all the way back to gain speed. For dogfighting, sweep them back one half notch.
AG2 to drop the tanks. I recommend you do this before entering dogfights, because they add a little drag.

Very nice to fly, good work! Reminds me a lot of the F-111, which I thought was a closer match than the F-14, especially with the variable geometry wings.
Nice job! I really like the fact that there's three engines as that's not something you see very often.
