No no and hell no The F-15E was absolutely the better choice. Its room for growth has been incredible. It can carry IRST, Targeting and the newer Dragon eye pod without any adverse effect on its payload The A-12 and YF-12 like the SR-71 simply would required too much effort to maintain. The F-14 proposed variants would not have changed anything. The F-14 was too overweight for carrier operations. While the proposed variants improved capabilities, its weight was still very much remained a problem Unlike the F-15E, the F-14 had very little room to grow. As for the YF-23 I could it see as updated as a 5.5th or possibly 6th gen aircraft with minimal design changes bubbly canopy, enlarged weapons bay able to carry 2 x JASSM, or LRASM or JSOW with four AIM-120s, the F-22s ALR-94 ,F-35 AAQ-37/40 and 1900/TR AESA radar
