In this scenario, I would say the F-15 Eagle would be the victor. Even if the F-18 is very maneuverable at low speeds, the F-15 can just play the vertical game. All this happening while both aircraft are trying to play cat and mouse. Not to say I dislike the hornet, it is just because the F-15 also has more room for error. If the F-18 were to use its guns, the F-15's wings are large enough to take a few hits. The F-15 was designed to take some beating (I forgot how much wing area it can lose), but bottom line is I would take the aircraft that would give me some ease in combat. The F/A-18 it really a good fighter and attack aircraft, however I dont solely believe that it would last a couple hits from a vulcan cannon. My arguement might be way off, but I believe some people love to also put in the missile perspective. I believe both aircraft would be equally fair in shooting their missiles. Both aircraft have JHMCS available. Without it I believe the hornet would have the upper hand, since it can maneuver in combat( slow speeds) a bit better than the eagle. However it is dependent on the scenario. The F-15 against the F-18 would most likely use speed for any missile egagement, loiter out of the F-18's max range and fire a missile before the F/A-18 does. Hands down without any regret I would take an F-15 Eagle in air to air combat. After this long post, I would say the F-15 Eagle would be the victor in my opinion
