Exactly, now we have two of the exact same plane at 14.0 (not even foldered mind you) because… some weirdo wanted to roleplay as a Hornet that Finland had for a wee bit before putting bombs on, instead of just… flying around without a CAS loadout.
By that logic give it AIM-9P5 and remove the Maverick Gs from the gripen c since sweden is broke and can’t afford to buy those missiles.
Sounds like a fair deal to me
( Cry me a river lmfao)
AirRB isnt ready for aim9X. Lets not rush ahead and add aim9X to a single plane just because Finland didnt buy anything else.
HOWEVER, F18C should have gotten its air to ground under the same logic as its getting its aim9M. But its a weird mix between balance and historical accuracy, as seen with alot of the top tier fighters
FGR.4 Typhoon only mounted asraam and meteor. Again, its got its aim9M for balance over accuracy. I still believe they should have added earlier versions of the Typhoon to avoid this. its not just one aircraft getting shafted, its Gaijins balancing choices for the whole game.
The biggest offender is the Kfir C.10, it never mounted python 3 but python 4 is currently a bit too powerful for the game.
I could go on but im sure youll see the point im making.
Yep, and still keep it BR14.0/12.7
Unlike su-34 what is sitting in BR 13.3/13.0
Those 9X would be only reason to keep it on 14.0 in air and 13.0 on ground games. But that is balance :D
In current state that Finnish F18 could sit in 13.7 and 12.3 on ground
But if I rememebr right sweden actually used mavericks.
They were coded as RB 75.
And on Gripen C , there is a bit more of IR missiles compared to 9P5 what it is using actually.
So yeah, go back to that river and keep sailing away
I mean they are not completely wrong. Sweden top tier ground is the most handheld top tier ground lineup in game.
However yeah their air tree isn’t as fortunate.
Not the Gs though.
It’s literally a cope medicine the devs gave to the plane cause sweden only ever used Mav As and Mav As modified with SAP warheads.
So crap tracking and crap FoV.
I do however still say that the AIM-9P-5 would be the best option for the F-18C FIN, it’s just a shorter ranged AIM-9M. The 9Xs can wait, not like IR meta exist nor will it ever come back either.
How on earth that would make any sence? 14.0 jet , and giving it even worse missiles what it got now…
it’s got 120s does it not?
You tellin me it’s bad without two missiles that’ll never come into use in pubs?
What ?
How is 120 linked in this discussion of IR missiles?
Still how does it make sence to give it 9P5?
the US never used BOL Pods on the F/A 18’s only the Finnish did on their MLU 2
“The Pentagon has decided to extend the Foreign Comparative Test assessment of the Swedish Bol chaff dispensing system for the U.S. Air Force’s F-15 as the U.S. Navy considers expanding its use of the system from F-14s to F/A-18s”
In other words, they considered but there is no proof of them using them on the F/A-18
I would love it too, but unlikely and not realistic
