Why so much resistance to Buccs with TFR and all weather strike avionics? Or if you really don't want the Bucc, F-111F shows up in 1970, and is what the F-111 was meant to be in the first place. All the kinks worked out, 10000 pounds more thrust, what's not to like? As does the A-6E. Both are available a decade before MRCA, and each is the fully mature version of the model."Not a pound for air to ground" is USAF and F-15. It is not F-14. Attack was build into the F-14 requirements. It's what the F-14C was meant to do. USN vision for 1980s was an air wing of A-6s and F-14s, and that's it for fighters and attack. The F-14 was going to replace both F-4 and A-7 before F-18 got forced on them.
