lol F-14’s is no where near 21 degrees per second except clean on minimum fuel [which F-18C in WT can’t match in fuel amount due to the restrictive 30%] and it still doesn’t get there.
Oh, you’re not going to like this. 60% fuel in F-18C is 6 minutes on full AB, to match that in F-14B we need to fill its tanks to… 5915kg of fuel, 80% of the fuel tank.
17 degrees per second, over 2 degrees per second slower than F-18C.
Spoiler
Okay, maybe we should match the minimum fuel… 3 minutes of full AB; 2930kg of fuel for F-14B, 40% full.
18.3… not even the 19.2 listed let alone 20 on dev server of F-18C.
Spoiler
F-14 is incapable of supercruising, it has never done so and never could.
Hornet goes mach 1.02 on dry thrust clean at altitude, F-14 could never do that.
It’s funny how your post moves the goalposts to “must be internal fuel only” after the previous claim being proven incorrect.
- You’re tests aren’t using flaps, which is what makes the F-14s competitive dogfighters.
As we can see, the F-14 can get up to massive sustained turn rates.
Compared to the F/A-18C Late:
It’s not even a contest. Especially at higher speeds the F-14 is literally lapping the hornet’s turn rate. This coupled with the speedbleed will spell disaster for the hornet
lmao cope
Nope
On the other hand, the F-14 should be able to (barely), but I’m not at my PC to check.
Moving goalposts? Really? We went from talking about real life to warthunder. Pick one.
Edit: I’m down to keep this convo going but (admittedly) this is very far off-topic. We’ve hijacked this topic🙃

First off, statshark only allows for clean loadouts due to lack of drag input, so for anything other than clean loadouts you have to do an in-game test.
Secondly, I can tell you didn’t input fuels correctly.
5 minutes of AB fuel for the F-14B and F-18C.
Spoiler
And combat flaps F-14B loses even more.
Spoiler
F-14 has higher speed bleed [lower STR].
I did min fuel for my tests. Which is the more realistic way of doing it.
In both tests, you started the F-14 behind. Show your settings and “the correct way” of inputting fuel values.
No?? First STR isn’t really about speedbleed, and second, the F-14 is one of the best-rate fighters in the game. How are you coming to these conclusions and why is it because the F/A-18 Hornet is your favorite aircraft?
this thread got off track, the F/A-18 for the Navy replaced the A-7 and for the Marines replaced the F4S so really it should be in the attacker line with the A variant before the AV8B plus and the C variant after it.
Put the Super Hornet in the F-14 line.
