I like both planes, buuuuuuuuutttttttttttttt, um, I like the Hornet better because of its better manuverbility.

Super Hornets where never super, unlike the Super Tomcat.
(I still think the American has bad namings for the planes)

*chokes* who needs better mobility when you can kill from over 250 miles away. The Hornet is slow. And in a dogfight speed is life. Look at records of the F-14 in both USN and Iranian service. Then look as Hornet records of all nations. Yeah who has the most AA kills? And if the F-14 can easily out manuver aggresors flying the A-4, F-5, F-16, and F/A-18s which have lost some stuff to be lighter and more manuverable, well so much for the manueverability of the Hornet. Plus look at pylons. You know how much drag all that puts on the Hornet? Look at the Tomcat. She carriers her heat under the belly. And can still make Mach 2 to on the deck with a full load of AIM-54, AIM-7, AIM-9, cannon, and the droptanks. Plus the F-14 was only to heavy to land on a carrier when she had a full load of AIM-54s. The F/A-18 on the other hand always comes home empty, save for AA missiles and target pods. Ordy not used it dropped in the sea.

Edit: Well, the Super Tomcat was truly "Super." Blame Boeing and polotics for the "Super" Hornet.

The Phoenix... Real long range missile, only the Cat could carry it...

The likeliness of a Phoenix hitting a fighter plane though....

Anyways, Tomcat, yeah, a great plane, it's a classic (especially since the movie top gun showed it off), but super hornets arn't that bad either. I'll really be sad when the last Eagle is discomisioned.

Well look at records of the Iran-Iraq war. That tells a good picture of the Tomcat...ere AliCat as it was known as in IRIAF/IIAF service.

Hopefully I'll be one of the last Eagle Drivers. With how my grades are and after some talks with airforce officers and pilots, they say I am well within requirements.

ITS BACK!

How long has it been since the topic on the old forum? Good to see it again.

I must say the F-14 is the best! My heart was torn to pieces when I heard it was removed from service.

Wonder if the turtle's here?

Well, the Tomcat's still for me. Dunno about you, (And I see you still haven't changed that name of yours, RP.) but I still prefer the Cat since I can zoom around with it and smack anyone's ass and leave them to ask what that was before they see me fly by. I just wish they do a remake of the cat. They kinda had to phase it out now. But still, THE CAT RULES.

Any objections?
