Hornet Mk.III MUST be nerfed

6.7 as min BR.
exageratly good at everything: 2nd best rate of climb ingame, 4x20mm Hispanos, one of the best accelerations u can see in a twin-engines aircraft and turns absurdly well for a goddamn air defense fighter.
also it gets a better airspawn of 2km (while other aircrafts get an airspawn of 1km) by no reason.

can climb 1000m in ~35secs while, for example, J7W1 (which was designed as an interceptor to hunt bombers just like Hornet was designed to defend bombers) can climb 1000m in ~42secs,

it must be in the same BR as the SF (Griffon) or be removed, cuz a plane with that flight performance CAN’T be at 6.0 fighting Ta 152, La-9, J7W1, etc.

Won’t agree or disagree but a big weakness of twin engine stuff in my experience is the roll rate is terrible. Just keep rolling and they can’t really follow.

mans delusional beyond belief.

It climbs well but not that well, and it struggles to do anything bar go in a straight line

I was always told the Hornet in game is actually underperforming to what it should be able to do tbh.

for only 43 battles, it’s quite surprising u say skill issue when i dominate J7W1 in 19 battles and made 38 kills (3/4 per match) while u only did 18 kills (0/1 per match).

just Boom & Zoom, it isn’t that hard🙏

Eh I think it’s ok, I can shoot stuff down with it and they can shoot me down without issue.

I don’t remember much about fighting hornets but from what I can they aren’t anything special

it’s an air defense fighter, it’s literally a “boom & zoomer”.
it’s made to be exageratly good using the boom & zoom technique.

12

lol I know it’s good for its BR, and so is Ki-83.

Its climb rate isn’t the 2nd best. It’s good, but it’s not as good as P-51H5NA or said Ki-83.
Hornet’s climb rate is just… above average.

I see we’re being extra reasonable today

The Hornets climb rate and speed are outstanding
It’s achilles heel is the thing is a complete flying brick

Isnt this just a fast mosquito at 6.0?

16

It’s objectively not, and it’s bad for balance that it gets an absurdly high airspawn for some reason. I personally would have zero issues with it if it’s airspawn wasn’t so high.

Speaking from a Sim perspective the Hornet is one of the best aircraft in prop tiers and it’s arguably still underperforming especially where manoeuvrability is concerned… it turns and rolls like a boat.

That being said if you keep it fast it’s untouchable as it should be. As Eric Brown said “it’s beautifully overpowered”, “Like the Ferrari of the sky”, “With one prop feathered it could loop with the best single fighters”.

It’s not “overpowered”. It’s just that good… in fact comparing it to what we have in game it should probably be even better.

18

Extremely overtiered so this is a bad example

Eh not really, it’s got a fairly average turn rate, only excels with full flaps down

Could go down a bit, but it would be a fish out of water without an airspawn

19

never nerf the hornet

Could? It must.
All other air defense aircrafts have 1km airspawn while this thing has 2km by no reason. What’s the difference between all other air defense aircrafts and the Hornet that the Hornet has a better airspawn, cuz i’m pretty sure that (if comparing it with other air defense aircrafts, which aren’t too many) the Hornet is probably the best of them, so in fact it should get the same airspawn, not a better one.
