I mean you brought it up in discussion about in-game performance of Hornet; also Hornet isnt special in this aspect, im sure most if not all western aircraft post gulf war have this capability.
IIRC Su-35 got smoked by AMRAAM guided in with data fed by Saab 340 AEW&C through datalink sometime last month.
Ooo that’s cool.
Thanks for doing my response for me. Great job btw.
I’m pretty sure the left column is talking about problems the legacy F/A-18 has, and how it will be fixed with the Superhornet. Going further down, you can see it talks about not having an AESA radar as a “legacy hornet issue”
Repost:
Ah I understand what you are saying, my bad. That seems to be an error on my end about AESA since it’s a legacy issue. I am sorry.
While everything there is not a legacy issue some are as stated. Most of the issues above are the f18 super hornets.
To the poster of that document more screenshots.
Sounds to me like you’re one of those braindead F18 players that immediately hits the funny AOA button and monkey-pulls way too hard all the time so you turn into a falling kite. The F18 is one of the Top 3 top tier jets in the game for fighting past the merge, behind the Eurofighter and Rafale. Obviously, nothing else right now can really outfight the Eurofighter or Rafale up close at the moment.
So this is a major skill issue. I recommend you just try to get better and practice.
I guess since you are clearly a god of war you are happy with the f18C late. See the thing is you might be a tab bit off.
Points for starting off with skill issue and brain dead because that’s very very critical and analytical of you of the issue which you don’t see.
I don’t immediately use the AOA limiter to turn in an expect a win, I know how to use it and since you probably know as you are a god of war I’m not going to explain.
The issue is that the way it bleeds the speed, it isn’t according to the stats of any DoD document or real life recollection, the way it bleeds speed it can’t get enough speed to give chance in the case which the missile doesn’t connect. The way she turns is like a Spitfire on steroids but she ain’t supposed to bleed speed so much and struggle to gain speed as much realistically. Thats my point. The airframe is broken.
American players are the least skilled and the ones who cry the most on the forum, yesterday I probably played almost 20 GRB matches and lost 12 of them, the USA was on my team, and if you say they are crybabies they will start attacking you with everything they have lol
Coming from the most Russian player I know. This isn’t about being American or Russian, you see an issue you talk about it. Period.
I’m not Russian, my name is. LOL
You main Russia and I don’t mind it, I barely play GRB cause I suck so much at it but Air RB is something I live on. I am not complaining about the F15C MSIP II cause it’s the best air superiority fighter in WT period second to the F15E, I’ve got over 900 battles in the C msip with 1190 air kills and 800 ish deaths and I love it.
When someone complains about something that’s an actual issue it becomes a whiner or skill issue. Thats sad.
Edit: my second fav fighter is the mirage 2000C4 500 ish battles with 534 player air kills and 300 ish deaths.
I also play a lot with Japanese Gripens F15 and EF2000, but my main one is Russia, well, I’ve never complained about any Russian vehicle because I can simply play these things, and I know people complain, it’s normal, the problem is that some complain too much, look at my Su30SM status, many complain about it, I love it, my only complaint is about the engine and a little about the FM, but I don’t create topics 24 hours a day on the forum.
Stop pulling so hard.
That’s your problem. 90% of the time that’s the problem with F18 players that complain. You’re pulling too hard, you’re throwing all your energy. Pull high AOA maneuvers when you need to or have the opportunity to end the fight with a kill.
I’m a Sim player, and only ever play Sim. I’ve flown the F18 a bunch, and fight them all the time in the Su-30SM. The F18 is a monster if you actually know what you are doing. Against a competent pilot, the F18 smokes the Su-30SM pretty easily.
I never said I’m a god. But from your complaints I think you’re just not very good and you’re in denial. Try learning from your mistakes.
That’s impressive status brother but the issue is that there is an actual problem with the F18C late. I have 173 something deaths and 190 kills so far in the f18C late all players.
I don’t kill AI or do ground runs in any plane, that’s why I don’t have the f15E cause my bomber line stops at the b29 🤣 but that’s a different issue.
Exactly, I’ve won many dogfights using Su30 against F18 players exactly because of this, they come 1v1 against you in the first turn, they pull the maximum AOA they can and become a brick standing in the air
I think many overestimated the F18, not that it is a bad plane, but it will not do BVR like a Rafale Eurofighter and Su30SM because it does not have maximum speed, I think it is very good for flanks or support and dogfights, a different style than what American players were used to since the introduction of the F14, where they climbed high, fired their long-range missiles and intimidated other nations, what I find boring, I hope you understand me, English is not my main language, is that other nations like Russia and Germany have their toys and can retaliate and I think the main Americans did not like that.
how the hell do you people find time to play so much? Ive punched 625 battles in my F-4S since i got it in nov 2023 - and here is someone who managed to play 681 games in Su-30SM in three months since it came out.
I never flew the f14 since it was really broken when it came out, I stuck to the phantoms and the only f14 I flew a bit was the IRAF since it seemed cool 😀.
I love this thing, I played with it a lot to get the most out of it
I wish I worked past the mig 9 in the Russian tree, what I am sad to miss is the Su-57 when it comes out since I am soo behind. What a beauty she is.
I didn’t even play ARB when F14 came to the game, all I know is that they flew high, fired their AIM54s and no one could touch them, and with F15C and AIM120 it was the same thing, since the Su27SM was something that took me a while to learn to play, I didn’t even play very well on it, but we Su27SM couldn’t retaliate against the F15C with AIM120
