Hornets BR. It's too much, Gaijin

60CM on F/A-18A seems fine as long as there are quite much of jets which also have 60CM only, or even fewer than 60, at BR radius of F/A-18A.

  • F-16A/ADF/AJ (60CM) [12.3-12.7]
  • F-20A (30CM + 15LCM / 45 total) [12.7]
  • F-14A Early (60CM) [12.7]
  • MiG-29A (60CM) [12.7]
  • Yak-141 (60CM) [12.7]
  • MiG-21 Bison (60 LCM) [12.3]
  • Mirage 2000CS-4 (18CM + 16 LCM / 34 total) [12.3]

Agreed.
Just want to point out that “JF-17 better than F/A-18C Late bc JF-17 has 64 while 18C has 60” claims sounds a bit strange as long as Dev materials are not final.

@HighRiskNoReward
120 countermeasures, not 60.

157

Well, we all know that it is now has '60’CM currently thanks to copy-pasted placeholder.
Just for placeholder.

And we also know that it will get fixed to 120CM before updates
Right?
Because Dev materials are not final.

Unless some strange shit like F-16A MLU case happens. :/
(modelled as 90CM but having 60CM currently.)

I don’t think it’s a problem. None of the aircraft I listed are remotely undertiered or overpowered for their position, and the 18A is going to be the same BR as the Pantsir with two Walleyes that don’t track outside 3km. What is the mentality problem you’re referring to?

I mean they are a russian main, so of course they would want more easy kills for the Pantsir at 12.0.

160

The only easy kill a Pantsir will get is someone flying straight. Seeing as how there’s a premium F-18, yes that would be the case

161

They were talking about the 18A though, which only has unguided ordenance or a walleye with like 3km range for moving targets.

So yes, any plane that has to get within 3-5km of a Pantsir to fight back is essentially a free kill.

162

Well then, don’t use it as CAS

163

Can’t check rn so idk what its ground BR. But aren’t there better cas option than F-18A?

164

I’m talking only about ARB BR.
GRB not much difference if you play above 11.0 setup.

165

<1/100 evade = actually unflareable

Just incase you guys somehow missed it.

Eh, we’ll see how it performs after the acceleration and energy retention nerf

168

You really need to look around on how to decoy such missiles,…

169

tru, placing a hornet below the br of the tornado f3 early is crazy

170

f3 is 12.0, man…

172

YES. YOU are the ONE who wants to F/A-18A with 6 AIM-9L & 4 AIM-7P (or 6 AIM-7P & 2 AIM-9L)
being same BR of Tornado ADV (Early).

Sir, Do you even can’t remember what you said by yourself…?

Aaaaaand???.. F.3 Outrun Hornet, F.3 have much more CMs to outflare the Hornet missiles.

174

You cannot be serious.

175

Yes?

Supersonic aircraft with 6x ARH and some semblence of WVR combat ability Vs sub-sonic with 4x ARH and no semblence of WVR combat ability in that config.
