F-18 is perfectly fine at 12.3

You are copeing so hard rn

what? It’s slower than me with full missile load dawg. i’m taking the duel with me esp with expert crew.

The f18A is amazing gor 12.3 man in all honesty it should be 12.7, its comparable to the F16ADF at 12.7 which only has 2 sparrows and 4 x 9L.

As well as this if you fly the f18 properly it beats the J7E in almost every aspect bar retention, but quick net G tap and you have enough thrust to out energy a J7E.

By th3 standards of f18A at 12.3 the F16A should be 12.0 .

At this rate thw f14 will end up at 7.0…

Its normal for US jets to sit in an area where they are nearly uncontested

I refuse to use it anymore man, not even spaded it yet.

Its just silly af why the 18A sits at 12.3 (not to mention the prem at 12.7) arguably better than the f15a

F-15A argument to 13.0 is 9M and 240 CM isn’t it? i think compared to other13.0 it’s very lacking even if we exclude anything that doesn’t have ARH.

hardly matters in a meta where the aim7P and a better radar set provides more oppertunities
You also have
2 x more SARH missiles Arguably comparable air frames, slower but has a better sustained rate in it.

Not really at all. Its comparable to them.
Its better than almost if not every single 12.7 plane.
The F18A should really be 12.7 as it stands RN

F18 also has a better radar than the 15A I believe.

Plus aim7Ps have IOG which is a massive, massive boost

im not talking about 12.7, i’m comparing F-15A with 13.0

The F15A is a 13.0 jet. DId you even read what I said at all?

I said the F18A should be 12.7 the F18A/C should be 13.0

Comparing the 18A/C early to the F15A

i actually changed my strategy and my kd and wr shot up dramatically, basically i stopped using the 530f and only use 530e instead if only to pressure people and push them into gun range, afterburner is max at all times since you never rip even in a straight line, the F1C is legit one of the fastest jets for its BR, i never, ever drop below mach because you turn in a fat brick.

the goal is to kill with your magics, maybe lob your 530s at randoms and transition into gunfighter since its kind of ok at that, genuinely works really well, especially with very low fuel, usually i take 17 min since the fuel efficiency of the engine is kind of cracked

I take 12 mins and a tank usually.

Also this topics on the F18A, but yeah teh 530E i kind astopped using and just lob the 530Fs at unwary targets, really hand late game when folks are low on CMs usually chaffe.

Nah you dont, unless you drop speed bellow aboit 750 kmph then yeah it gets a bit spicy a

because the su27 is a sidegrade to su33 and is the tech tree vehicle

Also isnt the Su27 smaller, and a better better FM wise ?

I wouldn’t know about em I just got the mig29 and going for the SMT xD

this plane needs br 13

Not that much better , the main thing is the better avionic anyway. All su27 variants are kinda meh in the FM department

Yeah seen they got a touchup recently, though they seem like flying busses.

Hence why i went the Fulcrum line…
The smt seems, fun…

su27 has more CM (important, as su33 only has 48) and the FM difference is there
