Dear Gaijin. Since you not show us final BR of the Hornet family i would adress this before it’s too late.
All Hornets underperform against most of their competitors.
They literally have worst overall flight performance of top tier jets.
These BR’s you gave them - is insanely high. 14.0 for jet, which barely can pass mach 1? Really?..
Cant be serious, guys… it’s cap - 13.3. Like Su-34 which have +/- same weapon capabilities and better top speed.
Hornet A probably would be fine at 12.3 but better set it to 12.0.
And premium Hornet shoul be at 12.7 max but i would better say - 12.3.
Hornets already outdated jets which should be added about a year ago. Dont ruin it with dumb BR please🙏
sure Magic 2’s are good however it only has 2 of them compared to the either 6 9L’s and 4 aim-7s or 6 Aim-7s and 2 9L. along with a not so great flight performance
Personally I find the Br of the F/A-18A particularly low, especially in simulation, even if the flight performances are slightly lower than those of the other Br aircraft, the combination of a very good radar and good air-to-air missiles will be devastating
I just realized it’s a MatAWG video.
F-18C is the 3rd best airframe at 14.0, only behind Rafale and Typhoon, and it’s barely behind Rafale.
If F-18C doesn’t deserve to be 14.0, none of the 14.0s do.
And Su-30SM has the worse 14.0 airframe performance.
F-18C with same-fuel time as F-16A performs the same in energy retention right now.
Su-34 is infinitely worse than F-18… Russia would have to pay me directly to lie about that.
And how it’s 3rd best?
You compare ultimate dogfighters which bypass mach 1 without afterburner and one of it (Rafale) have ultimate agility and one of the best dogfight loadout with jet which barely can pass mach 1, have worst maximum speed over even older jets.
Supercruise is primarily a fuel consumption thing…
F-18’s top speed is only ~60kph slower than Rafale.
Maximum speed doesn’t win matches, survivability does.
And Rafale is ~6% better than F-18 in flight performance.
21.something deg per second at 2.75 minutes of afterburner fuel vs F-18’s 20.1 in energy retention.
