I believe the F/A-18C Early has a broken BR.
At 12.7 it constantly gets uptiered to 13.3–13.7 where it faces FOX-3 carriers.
In those matches it feels practically unplayable.
Either its battle rating should be lowered (which seems more reasonable to me) or there should be some form of separation between FOX-3 carriers and non-FOX-3 aircraft.
its br cant be lowered since its vastly superior to anything 12.3 and below.
The solution is increasing the br of the 13.3 flankers
it’s one of the best 12.7s
can’t forget the F-18A at 12.3 (which is also the best at its br)
this is an issue of compression, nothing else
and bringing something down in br to “fix” compression only results in more compression
I don’t think that flankers will be moved to the 13.7 in the near future and its still cannot solve the problem of the game on not only for F/A-18C but for all the 12.7 jets, playing safely, enemy team ended or your team ended before your reach the battlefield, playing aggressive means got r-77/pl-12/aim120 on face without comparable carrying comparable weapons. Im currently talking about F/A-18 cause I paid money for 3 of them and cannot play them cause is pain to play on them. Really, im not super cool on them(byt stats air k/d around 1.5 included battles in grb) in arb its not give me enjoy cause the efforts I need to do to got kill much higher than all the others jets in the battle.
Thats why you dont just up and buy premiums willy nilly.
Do some research on the state of that br to justify spending money. After all youll be playing that single plane for a while so its literally the least you couldve done, especially in your case since you bought THREE OF THEM
SU30MK2 and MKK have been terrorizing 12.3 - 13.3 ever since they got added, choosing to voluntarily buy THREE premium in that black hole isnt a good idea.
And suggesting a plane to do down in br to ruin another br range just because you bought it isnt right too
