How in the hell is that tanker flying at ~1,200 knots (1,400mph)!? That is nearly Mach 2!
Same way your F-14 was able to carry up to 40 air-to-air missiles, unlimited cannon rounds, and the space shuttle at the end of the game is tougher and takes more fire to destroy than the aircraft carrier you destroy in mission 2.
Don't forget that you somehow refuel your missiles from the tanker!
I completely forgot! Maybe this game was meant to frighten the Soviets.
Maybe it was indicted speed and not ground speed LOL
