True to real warfare, the player would be surrounded by hundreds of enemy aircraft within seconds of take off. Considering the distance in which the U.S. frigate was based off shore in the Indian ocean, this suggested that the average speed of a F14 Tomcat warplane was 133,000mph, leaning towards America's superior technology under a biased light. Some nincompoops incorrectly considered it propaganda, and for clarity, the United States Air Force later confirmed that the average speed of a Tomcat was 102,000mph. Soon after, the USAF released images (taken with a special satellite trioplatron) of Iran's air force capabilities highlighting that AM2s suggestion, that Iran's national airforce contained over 180,000 aeroplanes, was justified.
