F/A-18C (Early) should get Aim 120s now

[kizvy]

Where do you think this plane is going if it gets amraams? It’s certainly not gonna be 13.3 like the flankers

@The_Omen17

Not everyone wants to start with a biplane and waste months of your life to get where you want to be. The gameplay loop is extremely different to sit and justify that.

Yeah and that is fine, these people can enjoy the current premiums as they are.

No need to change whole premiums to cater to some random dude that is too lazy to grind.

The dude just wants to turn the F/A-18C(early) into an 18C(late) now, peak entitlement.

@VF21_Freelancers

Prove it with early 1990s configuration

1987 C/D variant planes totally weren’t made to add provisions for a missile that started development in the 70s and would enter service in 91

[The_Omen17]

Lol “too lazy to grind”

You sound jealous that you grinded and now everyone else can play top tier without wasting time. Cry?

Nah I don’t care what people do with their time unless they act entitled.

@The_Omen17

Cry?

You are the one crying because you are not getting free hand outs.

For the F/A-18 playstyle, i’d say it’s pretty integral with ARH missiles. ACM is good, but it’s not as precise and overall just feels more clunky to use. Then again, it is a premium, and it also has the best Hornet FM, so maybe it’s an okay-ish tradeoff?

Staying in the notch slinging HMD AMRAAMs is all the Toptier Hornets have left these days. It’s much harder to do this with no HMD.

[ItzMikeyzWRLD-psn]

@The_Omen17 Why do you even want the Hornet as the plane that gets ARH missiles for the US? Something like the F-20 which (To my knowledge) can carry 4 Aim-120s, 4 Aim-9s, and overall a much better flightmodel that’s much more friendly to new players? (Most importantly, a much more comparable BR, easily being a great 13.3 plane like the newly added Su-30MK2.)

@Realtek0

You have the following premiums:

• P-47M-1-RE
• P-51D-10
• XA-38
• F7F-3
• A2D-1
• F-5C
• F/A-18C Early

Now it makes sense…

The amraams on the f-20 were only mock ups, program ended before amraam could be integrated. With AMRAAMs, the max load out is 6 air to air missiles, 4 AMRAAMs and 2 tip winders

[ItzMikeyzWRLD-psn]

Ah ok. I thought there was another underwing mount for Sidewinders per wing and the AMRAAMs were further inward on the wings.

[kizvy]

Would be in place of the double sidewinder racks

Honestly with F-5C having missiles from the future I am not really against F-20 getting same treatment. At least it’s consistent

[Pvt_Wade]

finnish F-18C

[not_a_bug1]

xD no

[ron_23]

@PyroAddict

I highly doubt an HMS-less F/A-18C at 14.0 would be fun imho.

the finish f-18c says hello

[The_Omen17]

Lol if you read this whole thread I never denied having it. In fact I States early on that I have both 😂

[ZVO_Spetsnaz]

You know, you had a good idea, that way I won’t have to buy 10,000 Golden Eagles to skip the Su-35 grind if it comes. Great idea, buddy, we’ll have a bunch of FA-18s as easy targets.

[ChorizoBlanco]

No thanks, there’s already some F18 with the same exact airframe and AMRAAMS at 14.0. In fact, there’s way more F18 with the same airframe and AMRAAMS at 14.0 in the game than the game needs lol.

[somebody_Else]

You want it moving to 14.0?

[PyroAddict]

Is it fun that newcomer? As far as I have always read, it isn’t, proving the point.
