again read someone dissing the SH as the Subpar Hornet..just how would the SH and the F-15 E Strike Eagle compare ? both carry AESA radars, have comparable weaponry, are twin-engined and have well laid out cockpits. obviously the F-15 stands out in terms of range, but comparing their costs and turn-around rates, which aircraft would be a greater asset to an Air Force ? in close-combat the F-18 supposedly is difficult to beat, thanks to its ability to fly well at low speeds and high AoAs..yet its sluggish and accelerates slowly.
so in air combat, which aircraft would win in a situation where AWACs support may not be available.
