Ah ha, here the dog is buried, as we say in Hebrew!

So, Given parity in weapons, AIM-120 / 9L, how big an advantage does Typhoon ability to manoeuvre, give it over F-15X, (or what ever the latest iteration may be)

To me, F-15 does not represent a super manoeuvrable fighter. (The design is 1969, with the first flight in 72, I believe) Given better avionics, weapons etc, does the F-15 still do the biz?? EG > Joust Simulation type test, when going 1 v 1 against Typhoon.
