We need to wait for the Fa18E for that
Why though? USMC integrated apg79 onto the f18c not the just super hornet. Also mfw the f18e still has apg73. If it’s going to be an F18c “late” then it should be a late modification with apg79.
they gave the F-15E the C5? bruh thats like the last plane the needed the improved amraam

That is a later variant , if i am not mistaken only FA18E block 1 came with 73 and than got upgraded to 79 aswell , we get the 92 version with hmd that is from 02 when aim9x came to the navy.
At the moment only F15E/I FA18 LATEs usa swiss and finnish have the c5 and u should go in to the dev server and try it in range is not much better it has on avg 3-8km of range over the aim120b , the biggest diff is that in close combat u can shot it and it will pull from the start 35g unlike the a/b that pull only 20ish g at the beginning
it came to usa Germany israel too
and the Israeli and US F-15 twin seaters
Disagree. Its insanely powerfull. 14 of the best missiles in the game will do that. I notched 1 mica amd intercepted 2 and killed a rafale i used 4 missiles and i still had 8 left. You cant touch a su30 if they dont want you to
Also, I’m pretty sure that the C-5 (actually every AMRAAM variant) should have a reduced smoke motor, like the 9M

My point was that they could still give the super hornet a mechanical radar despite having better options.
Yeah, no.
The only correct vehicle in your list is the F-15E.

still correct
yay.
yall think the super hornet coming next update?
Japan gets F-2 and has 4x AAM-4 which are not performing as they should
F-18 has 10x AIM-120Bs
“Clearly” the F-18 needs a buff.
Give Every Western Jet the AIM-120C
“Excuse me?”
F-2 DOA with no AAM-4B
NGL the J(M) should really get the C-5s, they 120Cs can technically be mounted on any post MSIP-II F-15C, but the J(M) really needs it the most since japan doesn’t have any 14.0s, and this would give them one.

Why not just give it its domestic made missiles instead? + Gaijin will probably justify not giving the 120C to Japan because “They never mounted it as a flight loadout”
Gaijin gave it to the swiss who didn’t have it irl. And Japan atleast has C-5s in inventory for their F-35, and they have plans to use Aim-120Cs on the F-15JSIs.
And the reason is because you just can’t make the AAM-4B balanced with whats currently in game, if you gave it it’s proper ECM it would be effectively unavoidable, and if you didn’t it would still just be worse cause of its kinematics.
Yeah, could be. But I’m refering to the main feature of update for Japan, The F-2. Which i dont think can mount the 120s on its pylons
Yeah no the F-2 is stuck to AAM-4s, honestly even they’d be 14.0 material on the F-2 if gaijin modeled the AAM-4’s datalink properly, but it isn’t.
That’s what I’m hoping they’ll fix. With the J/APG-2 it might track better
