The F15 benefits from superior technology and is therefore the winner hands down in a head to head fight. Of course, the Corsair pilot may have full control of his aircraft via cables, but the F15 pilot has computerized fly-by-wire technology that allows him to dominate the air. When it comes to winning, you take every advantage you can get!!
Now, with that said, I do LOVE to have full control of my vehicles, especially when I'm driving with spirit.... LOL! But I'll also take advantage of technology to make me a better driver!!  |
Actually the F-15 is outdated and not full "fly-by-wire" although does incorporate the technology with mechanical flight control systems. A better analogy would be the F-22 Raptor or the F-35 Lightning II.
