You bomb minibases in top tier jets.
As compared to other things around its BR, it is merely one step above the F-4J over which it has almost every advantage possible.

Agree, there’s not much leeway to balance this stuff with the current compression.
The jump from 12.7 to 13.0 is the worst, like imagine the F-16A Netz being just 0.3 below the su-27. Actually, we don’t need to, it’s real lol

The F/A-18A? (This post is about the A variant, not the C (e) variant, which is 12.7, which is either OP where it is or UP at 13.0+)

why say Su-27 when you can just say Su-33 with more missiles and good RWR
I mean I rawdog F-18 in my J-7E, and my only gripe with J-7E is that I don’t get IRCCM missile. you have to remember that J-7E has weaker engine than J-7D and it still rolls F-18A like it roll a sushi.
I’d take MiG-21 bis with 4 R-73 than F-18 with fucking 9L and Sparrow all day long.
2* R-73.
I might agree with you if it was 4
in a world where gaijian doesnt nerf shit it would have 4. but point stands, i’d take R27 + R73 even if there’s only 4 among them than 10 AIM-7
Still awaits MiG-21 Bison(Late.) with 4 R-73 or R-77 in regular TT since day 1 that I pre-ordered the Bison. XD
Also, I understand what you meant and admit. :)
I might be upset about OP’s claim when I wrote that reply and put some personal bias in it. :/
I still don’t think F-18A in 12.3 is fine if we consider the rest of the jets nearby. :|
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
