Now that Russia has a premium flanker with ARH missiles, the US premium F/A-18 should get them as well. Same goes for the premium C models. It’s only fair. I’m not opposed to these high tier premium jets being added, they bring in fresh blood to shoot down.

You realize it should jump to 13.7 or even 14.0 if it does?
To me, it’s a big meh. You may end up regretting that call.

Prove it with early 1990s configuration.
no
Even if it could I think I’d rather it stay at its current Br.
Prove the Su-27SM can use double pylons.
Spoiler: there’s a chance you can only guesstimate on both cases if they can or cannot use, which Gaijin usually ends up doing anyway.
Stop looking at every balance change with the absolutely-rigorous-historical-accurate approach, Gaijin has left that domain some time ago.
I’m cool with it. Been having a blast with the Su30mk2 and this would help people who want to play top tier without spending days of their life playing what they don’t even care about.
Gaming is about having fun, and if Gaijin can provide that then they should.
Why do you want to play at 14.0
I highly doubt an HMS-less F/A-18C at 14.0 would be fun imho.

Bore sight and a dream
Man wants to make one of the best 12.7 premiums into a mediocre 13.3 premium.
Me? It’s not about the number that’s for sure! Some people don’t care about grinding through props and early coldwar jets just to get a single era they have an interest In. Some people are married, have a life and don’t want to spend a year grinding out a tree.
pretty sure it has HMD no? I haven’t played it in a while. Not everything should be about perfect balance. Historically all if these jets would be used against each other in a conflict.
it doesn’t. Moreover if it gets 10 AMRAAMs it will go even higher, since Swedish Hornet without HMS is at 14.0 as well. You basically want to make your game experience much worse just so you can have fancy looking missiles (one of the worst Fox-3s in the game).

Honestly just make it the Late then. That’s all they would have to do is change a file path lmao
You already have Late in the tech tree. And no, we don’t need even more premium players without even basic understanding of what they are doing at 14.0 br. There is already enough.
Why would it be at 13.3 when the f-18c with no hmd and ground ordinance and no bol or anything is at 14.0 lol

i thought about it not getting double racks for AIM-120 just as Gaijin removed Sparrow pylons from F-18A at 12.3
The only counterargument would be the radar, but it’s a fair point actually lol.
Editing my first comment.
You act as if the game is super competitive at this BR lol. Over competitiveness in a fighter plane game is comical. If you care that much just play RB6 or CS lol.
The coin still has two sides. While there will be inexperienced players on your team, they’re will be on theirs too
