I can't speak to the Foxhound, but the Foxbat would be absolute garbage. Poor acceleration, subsonic at low altitude, and awful maneuverability make for a plane that's nearly as overspecialized as the Nighthawk. It'll be annoying to fight, annoying to play, and probably end up as Phoenix fodder thanks to its poor maneuverability and low-altitude performance.

And now we’re getting into the issues of trying to have realism in this game. The f15 is that good, or at least it’s comparable to that in real life… most people don’t realize that it is in fact very unfair. That’s one of the reasons why it’s hard to balance. These planes never fought in real life. Well many of them didn’t or at least didn’t have extended and in the event they did they would be extremely unbalanced compared to each other.
