guys what can we do to give f18c 120c-5 because its historical acerate no f18c ever use aim120b so what we can do here bug report it or what
We wait, this isn’t the first plane to be given false weapons for balance and it wont be last. If the F18’s get a bad winrate then gaijin may change them or lower their BR.

The F-18C existed before the AMRAAM - it carried every variant that ever entered service…

isn’t f18c is 2005 or 2007 prediction and 120c-5 is 2001/2

All of them carried, starting from A+.
But in 2007… maybe not really

Did you not read what I said? The F-18C was in full production prior to the AIM-120A entering service.
F-18C - 1987
AIM-120A - 1991
Subsequently, the F-18C has used every version of the AMRAAM ever made.
wow that’s great to know then its not as i thought it would be
to my knowledge the f18a Entered service in 1983 (replacing the F-4 Phantom and A-7 Corsair in many roles).
“And f18c Introduced in 1987 with upgrades phased in through the 1993 and on so they actually got mix of aim120a/b and 120c-1 to 3” so we have 1995 f18c? kinda
but it’s designated as f18c late so maybe early to mid 2000s ?
but Historical Loadouts the U.S. Navy used aim120c-5 on f18c by the late 1990s.

In my opinion, F/A-18C late around 2011 ~ 2015
AIM-120B replace with AIM-120C-5, and add AIM-120C-7 after decompression BR to 14.7

Yes, for example Russian planes. :D
Has anyone noticed that the F18 gun is mounted at the wrong Angle? It should be installed at +3°, but is now incorrectly pointed at 0°. On the hud, it is clear that the cannon is not aligned with the gun cross, but is misaligned with the 1000ft range cue.
And the default pilot head position is significantly lower, so the true FPM symbol is lower than the cockpit when you’re flying at “on speed”. What’s even more stupid is that at “on speed” and larger AOA the FPM symbol position will be significantly different from the true position.
i mean at the time being we just need 120c-5 now other missile can wait for newer versions like f15e with 120c-5 and asae rader same as f16c block 60 or f16v or somthing now we need f18c to get its actual competitive 14.0 loadout
AIM-120B is fine.
It should’ve gotten the APG-79(V)4 AESA radar.

F-15C, F-15E, F-16C Block 50 and F/A-18C late if receive AIM-120C-5 next quarter
F/A-18A+ around 2002 ~ 2004, armed AIM-120B and AIM-120C (AIM-120C-4 & AIM-120C-5) AMRAAM
The F/A-18A+ retain F404-GE-400 engine like F/A-18A/B or fitted F404-GE-402 engine from F/A-18C/D (late production) ?
I’m not quite sure
Decompression BR higher 14.0 (14.3 or 14.7) sure

No, US F-18’s wouldn’t have used C-5 specifically (maybe C-6) as it’s an export missile iirc.
It was first purchased for use on CF-18’s in 2004.
F-18’s didn’t use C-5 until after 2004 as that’s when the initial purchase was made for F-18’s specifically.

Let’s get this straight the 120b is more than fine its top 2 if not 1 fox3 in game We all agree on this but when you get a plane like an F-18c Slower than any top tier with the same missile as Faster counterpart Make it look worst and it is worst 120b lunch from f18c Unless you are in high altitude you’re going to be At a disadvantage vs ef2000 f16c f15c f15e j39 so to counter that and would Fit perfectly is add 120c-5 to f18c and other downside of f18c is that it lose more speed in a turn so a better missile like 120-c5 with better aoa and pull 40g and energy can really make A different between a good plane the competitive with a fun and aggressive play style Suits its performance
and yess"" AESA radar would really help it
