SandMartin Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Guys, I'm looking for information on how the F-14 flew against the F-18 during DACT? WVR fights (topgun dogfights).. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each aircraft during close combat? Who turns better horizontally, who vertically? Which plane has the better turn rate? which aircraft will win in close combat with the same armament? are there any recollections of the pilots about such training and comparisons? I would like to know how it was in reality and not how it happens in the DCS.

Dograw75 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 I am no expert, but The Hornet is more maneuverable and handles better at slower speeds, which would give it a tighter turn radius. I believe the F14 can climb faster, but all in all my money would be on a Hornet. I realize that is not an answer, but rather an opinion, but I thought I would offer it anyway. 1
Maduce Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 I agree with the above statement from Dograw. I might add though that it comes down to the pilot and tactics implemented.
