First it was the R-27ER that ruined your MiG-23MLD, then it was the Mirage F1C and Magic 2s that ruined 11.7 for you and now it’s the F/A-18s.
Yes the 11.3-14.0 BR range needs decompression and the Hornets should move up with that decompression, but whenever that is done you’ll just find another jet or missile to complain about.
Just because it has a lot of missiles doesn’t mean it has to do high altitude long range BVR. The 18C late also has 10x amraams, should that plane also do high altitude long range BVR? No, because it’s dogshit at that role despite having 10x amraams.
Which is funny, because you can arguably be competitive with the MiG 23ML. Then again, it could also be me, but I have no issue fighting F-18s with R-24Rs.
i always say it and some of u still saying it isn’t true.
the F/A-18A has 4 AIM-7M, good TWR and maneuverability and a decent radar.
the F-15A has the same 4 AIM-7M, good TWR and good radar.
so i think it isn’t that hard to put 18A in 13.0 or at least 12.7
just give the 18A AIM-9M and it can go to 13.0.
even MiG-29A can dominate and it has less missiles, its bigger and due to the reason that its soviet, has worst radar
