F-4B Phantom vs F-8 Crusader
The US NAVY operated the two types which were arguably the best in it's inventory at the time Vietnam war started circa 1965.
The Phantom was better armed with sidewinder and spparow 4 each while the Crusader 4 sidewinder max and 4 x 20 mm
guns that jams a lot during tight turns.
So the Crusader was a clear winner with 1:6 kill ratio against 1:2 of the Phantom.
Names like Mig Master and Mig Slayer came to the air !!!
It is also important to note that for the Crusader only the best pilots were choosen !!!
