Well, US trialed BOL on their Legacy hornets. Other nations also use BOL on legacy hornet
F18c late shouldn’t be 14.0. its 13.7 material at best. The current fm is overperforming in terms of thrust. maybe if they give it the apg79.

Current FM is funny overall
Underperforms in STR, overperforms in acceleration
exactly.
The Gripen is 13.7, the F-16C/AM/A OCU is 13.7, the J-11A is 13.7, you get what I’m saying.
We need more BRs above 14.0, not to stick 14.0s down.

Guys! Stand together for 13.3 to Hornet C late please!!!🙏🙏🙏
As much as that would be fun, oh hell no
thats way too low for 10 amraams

I didn’t know about that stuff, sorry
The 3rd best airframe at 14.0.
If F-18C is bad for 14.0, that would mean Su-30SM, and F-15s are bad for 14.0, and we both know they’re all fine for 14.0.
F-18C has excellent acceleration, accelerating as well as Rafale and F-15C/JM.

Wait, they’re buffing or changing it altogether?
because its FM is broken rn
its overperforming

In what way? Someone argued it’s underperforming earlier.
What is F-18’s correct sustained turn rate according to you? With what fuel load and weapons load?
the 18C Late out accelerates the F-16C.
it shouldnt, it really shouldnt. there has been multiple reports about it over performing

As it should.
F-18C out-accelerates F-16 IRL.
Oh lol, I thought the FM was over performing just like in DCS still
no…
no it shouldnt. The F-16 has speeds upwards of Mach 2 with a twr of around 1.095.
the 18 has about 0.96.
There are multiple reports of it over performing
That’s a drag related thing.
F-18 has a draggier wing design for post-transonic speeds, but top speed isn’t related to acceleration.
TWR, subsonic drag matters more for acceleration than supersonic drag.
At which point the F-16 beats the F-18 anyways. Falcons can go over mach 2, the hornet can hit 1.8
