Nah f/a18 was great. F14b was much more expensive and did the job no better

Then I just can’t get why you are spamming Tomcat AIM-7P on the Hornet topic.
i respectfully disagree in the air to air role nothiing could beat it other than F15

I get your point
- Every USN plane armed with AIM-7M needs AIM-7P.
Right?
But your ‘spamming tomcat on Hornet topic’ sounds off-topic, man.

Oh, I might be a bit mistaken with ‘F-14B need AIM-9M’ claim [at another Hornet topic]’
I won’t bother if you claim that in Tomcat topic, sir.
But in the meantime, as long as this topic is about F/A-18A, We need to concentrate on Hornet this time.
Non navy aircraft never got aim7p. They should get aim7mh but that aint hapoening

Aim7p is a fun new tool, the only tt variant with it being at 13.7 would be a massive shame. Aim7m is simply not competitive at 12.7/13.0. Fox 1s are my favs and ive been waiting for a new aim7 for a while

I dont work for Gaijin entertainment, you’re asking the wrong person
Surely, gaijin wouldn’t make you research the same missile twice? Would it? Gaijin?
Hopefully its a placeholder for the Aim7P

I swear to god lmao. If they put this into the game its an actual joke
No pay to win, if you never lose lock for more than 2 seconds, it’s currently an identical missile.
Datalink for SARHs isn’t in the game and may never be.
its absolutely p2w as the aim7m is fairly slow. iog would be a very good buff.
Datalink and IOG make the missile more reliable against defending targets that try to notch and chaff last second. That’s why R-27R is just better than AIM-7F most times.

Did the MH also have Datalink or only lofting?
Datalink isn’t modeled on SARHs. Buddy-locking is not a feature in War Thunder.
And IOG doesn’t work unless you lose lock for over 2 seconds.
Datalink is SARHs is used to make the missile use a more efficient interception path, and also helps to ignore chaff in a imperfect notch when your radar is still maintaining a good lock, when a AIM-7F would just bite onto the chaff.
IOG is extremely helpful because you often lose a proper lock against a defending target, and your missile still has a good probability of hitting for a few seconds.
