Keeping it simple, and I mean dogfighting equals visual combat. Having flown against all 3 types in an F-14B I would say The F-18. My tactics against the F-15 was to drag him low, I had better turn performance with the wings forward and the more powerful engines helped keep the energy up. F-16, drag him slow and get him to hit his alpha limiter - the F-14 had not such thing. The F-18 however always seemed to have the edge no matter where you fought and it tended to be who made the first mistake lost. It was however great fun.
