@Highbraker Landing supersonic airplanes has always been difficult. The earliest jets that could break the sound barrier had landing speeds of almost 200 MPH, very dangerous. It has to do with the wings, each wing is only able to work well within a certain speed range. There are various tricks people have used to give faster wings better performance at low speed (flaps, leading edge root extensions,etc) and swing wings like on the F-14 are very effective.
You might call it pog plane, but people who actually had to work with it called it the ensign eliminator. Vought was fond of building planes that went fast, without any consideration for safety: Corsair, Cutlass, and Crusader were all notorious for killing their own pilots.

@F104Deathtrap i tried landing with my f 14 pretty good
But landing with the pog planes
it collapses the universe
@Highbraker lol, nice!
@F104Deathtrap ya realistically my f 8 is harder to land on an aircraft carrier
Just like the real thing
