1st off the F-14 doesn't need to outfly anything. At 60 miles the whole argument of any competition is moot anyway. Whatever jet you put up against an F-14 in any real battle would be picked up by the Hawkeyes way before any close in contact (up to 250 miles away). The AIM-54 would settle any otherwise meaningful difference in manuverability and speed. But to settle this whole argument at the git go, you ain't never going to see an EE, Typhoon, or any other euro jet up against a US fighter. They use the same early warning resources. IF, for some reason a western jet was to be in the hands of an enemy pilot, it's tactical superiority in any way is negated by the allied tactics and air support resources. So either US or Euro might have the upper hand in mock mode, but in real time battle it's not going to happen.
