Because he’s American. If he were pro-USSR, he’d be at 13.3.
Acting as a support player is just a fancy way of saying that the F/A-18E has almost zero match presence and that it’s dependent on teammats not being idiots or the enemy team ignoring you.
Not really, because that still ignores the biggest issue of the Hornet/Super Hornet: It’s horrible BVR flight performance.
Data link between planes won’t do shit when your aircraft can’t really give the missiles enough energy to be a threat beyond 20-25km.
Mamamia!!! Ravioli, Baguette and Russian Vodka hurts my Americano Snickers.
Its not support fighter unless it comes from support region of France, otherwise its just sparkling dissapointment
What it really boils down to is that (as always) decompression is needed badly, the F-18C should never ever face planes on 13.0, but it also somewhat struggles against planes at it’s own br. Gaijin needs to extend the top br to at least 15.3, put the Eurofighters, Rafales and the Su-30SM2s there. So the F-18s get a place where they can be somewhat competetive. But this needs more thinking on might part of how to balance all the other jets.
Generally speaking, it would not hurt if most planes that are at a high br, which don’t have fox-3s but can face loads of fox-3s are helped as well. Decompression will fix that.
What I am trying to say: The BVR capable F-18s are in a very weird or awkward spot right now.
It does, you can be more agressive since you can bring more chaff. Many planes have to fly more defensive because their chaff is limited while the F-15C never runs out. I can confirm that since I fly it.
Ever since I got through the horrible stock grind, the F-15C GE is very potent. I would say it could be even more so then the Rafale.
Super Lawnmower lol
You’re the only player I’ve met say this sentence. Having unlimited chaff does not beat a superior FM and missiles.
Consider - you dont have to flare IRCCM missile if you preflare for 5 minutes straight
ROOSTER WERE OUT OUF FLARES
Ok reach under your seat. There should be a harrier we can toss out.
And the aim120 just go for the missiles and no for the opponents they need to add a something like the ground radars to only loock small targets or big targets missiles, the only way than you can get out of stock F/A18 (+14.0) is bombing the basases or get a 1 lucky kill, is hard untill you get the gbus and works better in grb
It has that BR because of the loadout it carries, but it can’t use it even 50% as effectively as any other 14.3 with the same weaponry. Gameplay wise, I think everyone would rather face a Hornet or Super Hornet with AMRAAMs than any of the new 13.3 or 13.7, literally any mach 2 jet with AMRAAMs in 13.3 or 13.7 is more a threat than a Super Hornet, let alone the 14.0 Hornets; should be 13.7 tops when compared to others in the same BR.
However, no 13.7 we have in game should be facing 12.7 anyways so I think the only viable yet distant solution would be to wait 2-3 years until the new gen jets are more than 1 BR away from the Hornets to be somewhat enjoyable.
That’s actually the case, both in real life and in-game. In reality, without datalink and AWACS support, this thing is a useless invention in a dogfight (WVR).
I believe Hornets and the Super Hornet are suffering from abysmal compression at top tier right now.
Most of AESA radars should be at least two BRs above mechanicals, if not an entire BR level, moreso considering the current matchmaker. The Super Hornet could still be just a step below due to its raw performance, but still, the point is made.
It is mostly a matter of compression. And so frames from other nations also suffer from it.
a new hope
You know its only thing i see why us tree so bad now. Becuase Russian dev want us to leak document LOL. SM2 now so god at toptier like Rafale. I gess F22 will get a nerf like another US jet when its come.
And if russian player siad “its your skill issue”. This is proof i try to play deadly. But in many game it show how SU30SM2 perform overpower. Its away get hight kill in every match. And now Super Hornet didnt got a proper BR its should be. Meanwhile Gripen E got only 14.0 BR but it have a good all performane then Super Hornet. thats so creepy.
All I’m gonna say is the super hornet definitely takes more skill to play than almost all other planes at its BR, due to being so slow. Other planes have the avionics, missiles and flight performance to “carry” them.
I feel like if everyone else has them, it’s a lot less one vehicle being carried and a lot more one vehicle being left to die in the dust like a classic John Wayne Western.
