Alright I give up. The F-15 is better than the F-14, but I still keep it as my favourite aircraft. It may not dogfight new aircraft well, it may be outdated, but I stand by my decision. The F-14 remains my favourite aircraft, and no one can change my mind.

"And all F-15s are just like any other fighter. Fast and Maneuverable."

lmfao so is the tomcat.

F-15s are lighter
faster even
more maneuverable

you can like whatever you want
but just saying the F-15 is like any other fighter because its "fast and maneuverable" is the dumbest thing i have ever heard

@PlanerIndustries9 did you know swing wings are outdated

@PlanerIndustries9
the thing is

that same technology has already became obsolete the moment the F-16 went into production.

Swing Wings are primarily built as a way to figure out how to smoothly transition to stability at high speeds, and maneuverability at low speeds. Since no technology at the moment has that effect, the F-14 made use of the swing wing so it can dogfight as a way to defend itself.
but the thing is, swing wings are expensive, maintenance heavy and complicated. Though this very feature was beloved by fans and pilots, it wasn't the maintenance crew's favorite thing to work on.

what did the F-16 do to make swing wings obsolete? simple. Fly-by-Wire.
Fly-By-Wire is by far the safest, most advanced, and most reliable control system in all of aviation. Since all controls the pilot have inputted has to go through a computer first, the aircraft essentially controls itself with the assist of the pilot. This makes unstable aircrafts that are normally impossible for pilots to fly normally like the F-16 and the Typhoon flyable rather smoothly and easily.

and you might be wondering "why make aircrafts unstable in the first place?" well, lack of stability in an aircraft increases it's maneuverability. This isn't always true, but that is the simplest explanation on how why aircrafts such as the Viper is designed to be unstable.

wow, I haven't even talked about the tomcat's capabilities compared to the eagle. Modern day fights aren't just being fast and maneuverable, hell this is the exact reason why the F-35 is the most advanced aircraft on the market. But if you weren't bored of listening to my speech about why the swing wing is not the best thing and want me to speak about more "nonsense", let me know your argument.

@PlanerIndustries9 you are getting a bit ahead of your self.

Not the one I’m stuck in.

my favorites are the piper tri pacer and the cessna 182

@ZeroWithSlashedO your argument is good, but the fact that it wasn't even designed to dogfight just proves my argument. And all F-15s are just like any other fighter. Fast and Maneuverable. But the F-14 brings new meanings to Fast and Maneuverable. The F-14 contains folding wings for slower speeds and higher speeds, giving it more reasons to be loved by all also Making the F-14 the Best and deadliest aircraft ever built.

bold of you to assume the F-14 is an easy to use dogfighter that can kick anyone's asses

it's main mission isn't even to dogfight things

anyway for me it's the F-15EX not because for it's name but because of it's ingenuity

F-15 S/MTD, it's like an F-15 but you can do goofy things with it

I like the F111 and Su-57

Stipa-Caproni

Need I remind you of the F-15, it’s pure delusion to think that the f-14 is the best dog fighter, it’s been shot down, the F-15 hasn’t
