Here you F-14 lovers may air your grievances about the passing of the Tomcat, to be replaced by an admittedly underdone aircraft in the a-a role, but I still believe that the Super Hornet is comparable to the Typhoon and Rafale in terms of capability, save for aerodynamic performance, where the F414 engines are an improvement, but still not enough…
Still, it is a great plane, if a little overpriced (but isn’t that the case with all new 4+ generation aircraft? The Typhoon definitely overpriced, the Rafale, slightly overpriced, the Raptor, certainly overpriced, due to small acquirement numbers).
