You have insisted several times that it is not implemented.
In fact, there are differences, even if some of them are very small, Acceleration is also slower . And the drag for some A/G load is sometimes even very high.
If you had said that from the beginning it would have been something completely different, but no, now you are even using terms like " obtuse"
I even asked you directly in which way it is implemented, but no adequate answer.
What you are saying now is the complete opposite as compared to, not modulated in any airplane.
actually it is, gripen is a speed LIMIT rather than a sep limit, F-18C with 4 missiles and 60% fuel will do M1.76 and M1.05 at SL. Speed based on pylon stores should be correct, given i got both F-14’s to within ±0.01M clean and with missiles.
First Hornets went into service with Fox-1 missiles, although i dont have clear information if they had capabilities to use Fox-3’s without any software/hardware upgrade.
I believe F-18C will be the first model we recieve and it will most likely come with Fox-3 capabilities.
A Legacy hornet will be slower in top speed compared to a Phantom. Other than that can I expect it to otherwise kick a Phantom’s teeth down its throat?
I assume the answer is yes, but I just need to know if we expect a hornet to be a “bus” or not
Theres talk in other threads on “potentially adding a swiss F18c hornet to Germany”
And there its also stated somehwere that the performance between an F18c and the F4F ICE wouldnt be all that different because the hornet would “still be a bus”.
I don’t know much about hornets but the above statement seems unlikely to me. So that’s why I asked.
Hornet has way better thrust to weight ratio with greater STR and ITR performance. Lower top speed is due to wing design I believe, it’s not designed with extremely high speed in mind. Long story short; Phantom will be faster on deck and high altitude but it will take quite some time for it to overtake a Hornet. I also expect Hornet to be (practically) faster at mid altitude thanks to it’s better acceleration, at least in the current game meta.
The Hornet is not considered as high performance as other top tiers, but in return it gets a good radar and 10 AMRAAM as well as 2 sidewinders.
The F-15 is considered the best top tier in the game and it only carries a maximum of 8 missiles, the flight performance of the F-15 is relatively good some of the best but the main things making it relevant is the radar and missiles right now.
The Hornet has a lower thrust to weight, but its a lower drag design, it has exceptional ability to point its nose like on a Mig-21 an easy to aim gun and it can outrate some of the best aircraft in the world at lower speed ranges.
