Aerodynamic drag.

So if the F-15 had high wing loading it would be a Mach 3 rocket?


Hard to tell. You *can* have planes with higher wing loading that
have a better turn radius (the WWII Messerschmitt 109). The aspect
ratio of the wing is very important here, too.


Of course the 109 had automatic leading edge devices to allow
for better performance at high AOA. Surprised no one has mentioned
this.
Basically speeds up airflow over the wing, re-energises the boundary
layer and delays the onset of separation. Gives a higher CL and
thereby tighter turns.
