Hornet is one of the most annoying planes to play against at this BR because of its mostly unique ability (for the BR) to fire sparrows at any aspect that isnt a notch. Meaning, they can often fire sparrows at you even when you are flying away from them in such a way that makes it difficult to avoid without forcing a merge or hugging the ground while flying away. The spam of the hornet combined with the previous fact means most of my gameplay near the hornet’s BR is multipathing to a degree I would not normally do even against fox3s.

It also doesn’t help the aim7P is IOG so unlike the other sparrows they can actually break lock and go defensive and re lock.
Even the f18A shouldn’t be sitting at 12.3
F-18A is just plain undertiered and should be 12.7 as its analogous to the F-16ADF if not slightly better just because of how air RB is played currently
F-18C(E) should go to 13.0 and receive AIM-9Ms as compensation

Well, it will be the same trash as the F-15A with sparrows against the FOX-3. That is, it will play against almost the top.
So decompress, but it doesn’t belong at 12.7
The F-15A has an AIM-9M and do you know how it plays at 13.0? No way, shooting someone down when everyone has a FOX-3 is almost impossible. At 13.0 there is no place for aircraft with AIM-7 and AIM-9.
Did you read
It’s fine, I play it pretty often. The game just needs more decompression.
Are you implying F-15 could be 12.7? It couldn’t be.
The most annoying plane in the game is the MiG-23ML, it is the most meager plane I have ever seen, it is unbalanced no matter what BR it is in. How much I suffered from it, first on the Phantom C, then on the F-4E and on the F-111F, the MiG-23ML is a plane that ruins your game. Because of this plane, I stopped playing the F-111F. Because wherever you fly, this MiG-23ML always appears and launches a missile at you that does not react to all your traps and speed.

Absolutely right, the F-15A should be at 12.7.
Extremely unbalanced. Would just be 10x better than everything else at 12.7

At 12.7 is the MiG-29, which has much better weapons and a better radar.

no. R27ER is better than AIM7M but only in that on a 1:1 level if you fire a r27Er it is more likely to hit. The MiG29 only carries 2 radar missiles and has to fallback on R-60ms which are extremely poor for the BR when it is out of radar missiles. F-15 on the other hand doubles your radar missiles (sparrows are also just not that bad, people exaggerate how bad they are. if your r27er gets a kill the aim7 probably would too assuming a teammates missile doesnt get there first or something) and also has 4x AIM-9M to fall back on, which if used correctly are basically 4 kills on your wings.
The MiG-29’s radar is also just worse… like… idk how you even came up with that.

No, no it should not.
Dont bother man dudes a US main through and through.
Wants the f15A at 12.7… the things a monster, 14.0 against rafale, ef 2000 etc is difficult for every plane without arh missiles, however, i do believe the F15A falls onto the better side of that up hill struggle.

The r60s are absolutely garbage compared to the 9Ms.
R27ers are good yeah wont argue that, but you only get two and its not two guaranteed kills or anything
Mig29 worse fm
Worse T2W
Worse radar set
Worse over all missile count
Worse missiles overall
And ofc substantially less cms
but with hmd
