the f-14. 0.4 mach faster. more payload. has LANTIRN pods. bigger combat radius. can drop bombs just like the f-18. sure the cockpit and technology is not quite as good but overall it is a superior plane. the navy doesnt have a long range plane, specialised interceptor and the aim-54 phoenix, how are they gonna replace that. sure the maintainance cost was high and the time taken for it but the navy could have accepted gruman's proposal for the several new f-14 versions offered that didnt require so much attention.
