Hornet 12.3 and 12.7 How can 2 planes that should be at 13.0 be so low?

You have not learned anything from the experience of the F14A IRAF, you are going to destroy the same entire BR strip again.
Why do US players have to be treated like a zoo animal having to be fed EVERY day and still having food in their mouths?
Both hornet A and C early should have aim9m and should be at 13.0, these planes should never step foot on br 12.something.
These changes are completely harmful to the game.

Again, you will deteriorate 9 nations for the sake of 1.
Your job should be to balance the game, you can’t balance the player, if there are extremely incompetent players playing with US, the problem isn’t the nation, it’s these players, they’ll be incompetent with any nation.

The problem is that these incompetent players cry, make a noise on the forum and you pamper them by fulfilling the most absurd requests.

The Finnish F18 will continue to have a higher win rate than the American one, even if you artificially make it inferior by removing its HMD.

The Mirage 2k CS5 and the Yak 141 will have a higher victory rate than the F18A in 12.3, because the problem is not the plane, it’s the player, and you spoil the US player too much, and accept all their complaints as if they were law.

You destroyed the game to try to artificially raise the USA’s statistics, it will only destroy the game, the players will still be incompetent, The difference is that they are facing enemies that will be on the lower side of the asymmetry, when they go to situations where the game becomes more balanced, like 13.7/14.0 they will continue to be easy prey, Eurofighter, Gripens, Rafale and J10 will continue to eat US players for breakfast.

Perhaps players from other nations have more knowledge of the game because they face difficulties and adapt to them.

I thought both F-18s were 12.7?

F/A-18A is 12.3 now since last dev client updates


and they removed 2 sparrows just to put it to 12.3

shouldn’t this open a can of worms with F-16ADF and AJ? like both of those only have 2 sparrows with 4 winders
and we haven’t talk about MiG-29 9.12/13 not getting R-73 for ages

They removed the Sparrows because they were never used on those pylons. The Mirage 2000Cs are 12.3 as well and they are better than the Hornet in almost every way, especially Magic 2s. This is not at all unprecedented.

remind you that the C5 has been moved to 12.7 at last BR changes.Also Kurnass 2000 is still sitting 12.3, we should prevent letting 1 single plane compress the other.

probably the AMRAAM it has kept it at bay

also why is Harrier GR.7 at 12.3 but AV8B NA is 11.3 smth

Must have missed that. I am nonplussed by this implementation either way, but I remain a lot more concerned about its GRB position than ARB. With this change having it at 12.0 GRB is patently absurd.

13.0 is the limit for spaamraam however the FA.2 is not worthy of being so high. its the same as the FRS1 at 10.7 flight wise

GR7 has aim 9 M while the T10 and NA only get 9 L, other than that they are near identical. (t10 also gets next to no CM

If they could unlock the Shar AOA and allow it to pull the same silly stuff the flankers can it would be ok.

The harrier cant do that crazy crap but it can goof off a fair amount. at low speed with thrust vector it can really go nuts

It technically can with the use off VIFF as VIFF was primarily used to augment the pitch rate.

Pitching rates to the order of 10 degrees a second at 200 knots and a whole 30 at 90 knots.
In other words if the nozzles are pointed down and no trim in is used to hold the plane at level the nose will start pitching up at 10 degrees a second.

This is from the Sea Harrier frs1 aircrew publication and is declassified

why tf is gaijin not adding aim7p’s to other tt vehicles than the 14.0 fa18c? it makes no sense

in other way, with 12.3 it’ll be more frequent for Hornet A’s to meet F-4S, Mirage F1C-200, MiG-21 Bison and MiG-23ML more often given 12.0 does frequently have premium spams nearly every match (though you could still meet them in 12.7 too)

There is a reason can explain everything, they want to sell the $80 pack.That also the reason why they dont increase F18C early’s BR

I think we need decompression, the F/A-18a is proving this because one has 2 more aim 7ps which are better missile. They are not the best airframe and sparrows are outclassed by most things at that BR. I agree it should go higher but then it’ll be DOA
