Just because the RAF tried to use the F.3 in a role for which it was not designed, as you say, does not mean it was an ineffective platform. It was amazing at doing the job that it was designed to do.
Where on earth did you get that from? The F3 with AMRAAM was as capable as many of the other AMRAAM shooters against a high and fast target - the F14D was equally as capable and more so AIM-54.
You need to stop posting hoop on this forum. You are obviously a non-military individual looking at your other posts (which are equal “hoop”).
