Lol, the F-14 is technically an interceptor not even a fighter and it shows, it was notoriously a bad dogfighter with it's underpowered TF30s until they got replaced by the F110-GE-400 derived from the F-15s, would lose all it's energy within a few turns and be splashed, it's strenght lied with the all-might AN/AWG-9 which was a monster for it's time so much so it's still somewhat effective even in the modern day, as for the other two the only one i can agree with is the F-22 as it's a 2d thrust vectoring aircraft with a lifting body type, the F-15 was made as a pure air superiority but it's primary strenght lied in the Radar comparable to the F-14s, of course due to it's high engine power it can keep energy and fight pretty well but in a pure no missiles 1v1 i'd wager it'd lose against an F-16 60-70% of the time, the 16 is just much more agile due to how it was inherently designed while the 15 is the last "classicly" designer fighter in many ways

Also do note that this was probably a long range interception so dogfighting capabilities don't even matter that much
