F/A-18C needs more long-range AG weapons

I fully 100 percent agree with you on that.

But if you want to ask me if it’s worth it, it’s really not. There are so many better air trees, and if you really want to say, “but the Grippen”, it doesn’t matter since you could go down Britain (better props, excellent early jets, subpar 10.0+ unless you run Lightning, Grippen and Eurofighter), Italy (great dog fighters, early jets are eh, but you also get access to the MiG 21bis and Grippen, which you get in Sweden anyways, PLUS the Eurofighter, and MiG 29), and Japan (best dogfighting props, then copy-paste America BUT you get F-16s, F-15s, and the Grippen).

Literally just run those countries, you don’t need Sweden.

They need to fix saclos spaa.

What do you mean? Don’t you want thirty different Shermans? It totally isn’t the most boring country to grind, second to Russia with how many tanks play the SAME. EXACT. WAY.

34k 7.7 SK60 and 37k Tunnans, sweden early jets had like 300k total repair costs for like 6 vehicles.

But here’s the problem: who plays France?

Don’t forget you need to unlock every single plane in Rank VII to even get to Rank VIII in the first place

Well hammer still slower than KH-38 and most of the time Rafale face Pantsir which Pantsir with more than one brain cell will intercept them and they also fight another jet as well
what does SU-34 have to worry apart from other jet?

The trees

As I said earlier, nothing

If you mean crash into the trees? well congrats Rafale have higher to slam into the trees more than SU-34 since pantsir can shoot them soon as they spawn
You know what difference between dealing with US CAS vs RU?
Dealing with US is far more easier since you can have altitude advantages over them to make missile more deadly
can’t do that to RU CAS without getting shot at by pantsir.

You still got the Tors and HQs which can fight them off 12-15 km away, just like the Pantsir.

Normal TOR is really something not worry me range still 12 HQ 15 km yes but both of them have slow missile and trigger RWR track and lunch warning
Only few planes trigger pantsir track and lunch (and my Gripen is not one of them) which force jet to go low soon as they spawn or see S1 on rwr
So CAP pilot against RU have less option than other since

They cannot have altitude advantages over them which mean you can’t really use radar to scan threats from high altitude stay there and high missile from higher altitude

They don’t know they lunch or track you unless they have see them with their own eyes

KH-38 can shoot at people soon as they spawn combinations of it speed and IOG make it possible which need to be put down fast or six people gonna be dead

Now let combined them
They have the target that can kill six people soon as they spawn that need to be dealt with fast as possible but they can’t have altitude over them and their spaa don’t trigger RWR what is the option?
The answer is
Air spawn camping them
And when this is the only proper way to deal with you know how fck up the game are

Nobody including US don’t have level of this BS

Maybe so, all I know is I’m usually fighting America, and I’m usually seeing my entire team being eliminated by F-16s and F-15s, so I’m not usually affected by Russia when I’m playing GRB.

I deal with both on daily and that i can tell you
Yes you still need jet to deal with US but they have less threats to worry about when dealing with them and most of the time planes with dog fight capability work wonder against them in GRB since GRB map are smaller getting into dogfight is more often my most CAP kills in GRB came from Gripen C because spawn point is cheep in it very good at dog fight

Only Americans, who have the best missiles in game, could screw up in defending themselves from planes they can literally see.

None of them are even close to Pantsir which dominates Air with 8 missiles which absolutely great.

I do know how to kill them, but they’re not the easiest to kill at all now with the autoloader acting like a spall liner and prevent them from being one shot.

Reload time did not make Swedish tanks the best in the game, it’s armor and it plays a huge role in Top Tier Ground which most nations lack and Russia does not lack armor at all, and it get the second best tanks after the Leopards which they won’t be after the incoming update which means Russia will dominate.

Aim 120 is absolutely not the best fox3 in wvr combat. Aam4, pl12, mica and r77 are all better against planes you can literally see lol

Anybody that dies to an AIM-120 outside of their own ARHs effective range has massive skill issue.

Being able to hit targets at long range is only useful against players that aren’t going to be any use in a match anyway.

Within reliable launch ranges it is one of the worst ARHs

Or the Russians, which have the Pantsir that can shoot down mavericks so easily I could honestly do it with the radar screen alone (meaning without using my actual third person/player/gunner camera to aim)
