This is a pretty hackneyed topic, but I just want to point out and tell you one interesting detail. The new premium F/A-18C from Germany/Switzerland is literally a copy of the F/A-18C Late without HMD, AIM-9M and AIM-120. So now on the 12.7 will be a 14.0 aircraft. Imagine how you would “like” playing agains them and even with them. In response to my bug report, the manager told me that it was not a bug and that everything was intended that way.
Close enough, welcome back on-launch F-4S (when automatic radar mode was added)
So you mean a literal copy paste of the f18c early
there’s also 13.0 f2 premium
Sooooooo, literally the F/A-18C Early? I’d like to add that the F-18C’s flight model alone isn’t what makes it 14.0, either. It’s the addition of advanced AAMs such as the aforementioned AIM-9M and AIM-120B.
Pretty much the Japanese equivalent to the Su-33 tho. It’s just the F-2A without access to AAM-4s, utilizing AAM-3s and AIM-7Ms instead, only able to carry 4 of each, as opposed to the Su-33 that can carry a load of 8 R-27ERs and 4 R-73s, or 6&6. I also assume it has the same FM as the TT F-2A, so it would be heavier and less maneuverable than a regular F-16.
Because it isn’t a bug. The only potential thing unintended would be if the Swiss Hornet is using the same cockpit as the Late variant.
no, iirc it has better engines than the US premium one
The F/A-18C Early in the US tree has a myriad of things that make it worse, already made a thread about it.

To all who says what it is not a problem - go play on 14.0 F/A-18C and after it play on 12.7 F/A-18C Early, the difference is crazy. Top tier Hornet can easily beat Su-30SM, EF2K and e.t.c, he can recover after any manuever, even if you use “Cobra Button” and lost all speed you will recover, this new engines alone deserves 13.3 BR, i can forgive more contermesures and better radar but not the engines. If this plane come out on live server like this it will be a big whole in the balance of this game what dev’s will never solve.
