F/A-18 ruined 11.7

It would be a lot easier to take the thread seriously if creator didn’t have a certian history. Seems like everything that kills them suddenly is either OP or ruins the BR bracket.

OP: American prem jet ruined 12.7
Me: American premium jets not only ruined 12.7, but have ruined everything from 9.3 with the A-10, all the way to top tier.
You: what does talking about American jets have anything to do with the original post about American jets?

were talking about the mig23mld and f18 early
your non sense derails the topic into top tier bringing rafales and f15i

I think both are equally capable for different reasons

You can blame the genius for saying the Rafale is broken. I told him he’s wrong. My point was that America in general is absolutely broken, and that the premiums (A-10, F-5, F-4S, and now the F-18 premiums) are unbalanced compared to other nations. Then I proceeded to give examples that provides why America is unbalanced, with AIM 9Ls appearing at 9.3, with how America dominated (what was) top tier with the AIM 7s on the F-4S, and how America is still uncontested at top tier with their AIM 120s.

I didn’t derail the conversation just for my own convenience. I brought in a point to defend OP’s original point: America is unbalanced.

Some other guy wants to bring up the Rafale. I put him in his place. You’re the one acting like he doesn’t get the point.

youre responsible because you continue

Not my fault that some person wants to act like poor America isn’t clearly the most unbalanced nation in Air. It’s always the weirdos that bring up an extremely niche way to make something seem overpowered. He wanted to act like a jet hurling a missile at close range makes it so that is more OP than the definition of a missile boat.

Also, in case you haven’t figured it out, you also derailed the conversation. Now we are arguing semantics since you wanted to be like, “but we are not talking about 11.7” while you are not talking 11.7

Why did they put the sweden F-18 at BR 14 and others at BR 11.7???
So weird.

Just because they’re 12.0 doesn’t make them really 12.0
😿


Regardless, stuff at that rating shouldn’t be facing the F18 on a 1:1 rating. Whether you like the mig 23 or not, it is shafted by this addition, and it is one of the better options at the rating. There will always be an option at the upper end of a rating, Mig 23’s about where it can be in the current compression, and does not warrant ignoring the number of other aircraft shafted by this implementation (host of harriers, host of tornadoes from multiple trees, several Russian attackers).

The F18 in question should have been 12.7 if they aren’t going to do something about compression and the sorry state it leaves the game in.

Yeah rafale is the biggest cancer I’ve faced

I agree the F-18 should have been 12.7. But the focus should be on the F-18 being too low and not that the Mig-23MLD is in some way suffering more than anyone else. Its probably suffering the least out of a lot of 11.3/11.7 aircraft that are being dragged up into the premium spam at the moment.

It gets the best flight-model F-18, and has access to MRAAMs.
I think it should be 12.3 in GRB.

I didn’t say it is suffering more. I highlighted it is shafted by this addition, but even if we think it isn’t shafted that badly, there’s a whole list of things that are and should probably be more the center of discourse (tornadoes, harriers, attackers in general at the rating). So the principle of the F18 being too low is correct, even if we disagree with their example.

I was talking abotu the original post not what you said. sorry for the confusion.

It is 0200, I am too sleepy to parse these kinds of things apparently. 😿

Well, if you set your clock to the correct time it wouldnt be 2am. its 3:30pm :P

I am not forced to put up with the English yet. Several years down the line perhaps, but not yet.

Your problem is not the BR of F/A-18A, it is the BR compression. MLD (or any other 11.3/11.7 for that matter) cannot really go down any further simply for the fact that it will bully 10.3/10.7 even harder than F/A-18A. They need to increase BR ceiling and narrow matchmaker BR range from 1.0 to 0.7 otherwise you’ll face this issue one way or the other.

It’s not any one plane. Compression is really bad for jets. Only naval is worse

It’s a standard move. Top premiums destroy balance because they are OP or players are bots and leave after the first death.
