Worse RWR, cant detect K band so its blind some SPAA
1996 model hornet while the US model is about 2007-2012
Didnt know this one. More and more reasons not to crew it.
Cant forget no 120C-5s but its not like those are better than 120bs
i didnt knew that
but i mean that dosent really matter imo, it is not like you would want to get close to the battlefield, without any A2G armament
Pantsir is basically invisible to you

I probably know why they aren’t going to drop the F-18C down, because the MLU 2 will get 9X and go up and the snail will want a 14.0 vehicle on sweden

If you’re facing three guys your odds are probably low but I won’t say impossible… I’ve done it in worse aircraft;
Okay sweetie

who asked.
who. asked. This is about the F18, is this forum an insane asylum with gas leaks?
How quaint. Keep derailing btw, really helpful, pumpkin.
Who asked? You’re asserting that just turning around in the F-18 and bleeding all your energy is how you lose but I just showed you that doing the same in a MiG-29SMT (fat Betty) was the winning move in a 1v3 against aircraft equipped with AIM-9L/M.
So… the way I see it, I’ve proven my point. Yours appeals to false authority. The F-18 has no issues flaring ordnance when done so properly. Each aircraft is unique, some better and some worse at certain scenarios.
You want to excel in something? Know it’s strengths and weaknesses. American players using phantoms been complaining about missiles eating them alive since the introduction of the R-60 and spoiled players who flew the F-5 are surprised when they fly anything else and their countermeasures don’t quite seem as effective. You seem to be the latter.

The F-18 is fine at flaring. The only people who struggle flaring are people who dont know how to do it. Too many people dont cut afterburner or fire a few flares, rather they spam flares and just lead the missle to themselves.

I agree, the orientation and placement is less than ideal though as they’ve said. To do so the same way they did in other aircraft would be foolish.
Exactly, people need to understand their aircraft more. Also learning basic flaring usage wouldn’t be bad either.
Reminds me of Naval phantom players trying to dodge missiles like the flares were coming from the bottom like on the F4E, while flying the F4J and having the spine area flare pods and just guiding the missile and complaining about the vehicle or the enemy missile instead of adapting to the new flare launch and its positioning.
