The point is that it’ll be one of the weakest fighter-bombers at its BR for 12.0 GRB… weaker than several 11.7 and 11.3 GRB aircraft. The US has zero decent fighter-bombers between 11.3 (if you can call the F-4E decent in its gimpy state) and 12.0, and the Hornet, with its limited armament, would be perfect to fill the gap at 11.7.
As a pure fighter, its performance will be adequate for 12.0, but it wouldn’t exactly be broken at 11.7 either.
But Hornet outturns F.3, and Tornado gets outturned by nearly everything in its radius.
Maybe F-104 is the only exception?
You are bringing only good points of counterparts while bringing only the worst parts of F/A-18.
for nothing but biasing F/A-18A&C to send them into batshit insane level.
If your claim is plausible (no it isn’t)
Hyperbolically, both Sea Harrier FRS.1 and FA.2 need to be sent down to 9.7 because they are nothing but Harrier 1.
Yes. I am bringing the most diabolical take which can be created by my brain just for you.
For me, the the long nose, the extended wing root and the wings being at the back improve the looks lol. IMO on par with f16
What do you think the A in F/A means? It should get mavericks
Eh… AV-8A has more CMs than the Sea Harrier FRS1, so FRS1 needs to be 9.3. :P
Aircraft :P
close, aircraft carrier. it should have max displacement of around 100,000 ton but ofc gaijin screw it up
Damn US Bias, not modeling its wieght correctly :P
should be able to carry about 90 aircraft too, CL-1201 style
12.0 for a Hornet is an absolutely insane ask, let’s remind ourselves of some of the vehicles at this BR;
Tornado F.3, F-4s, Phantom FGR1/2, Yak 141, Mirage F1c, F-104S ASA, JA37D.
Do any of these aircraft perform remotely close in the FM department to the Hornet, and carry the same armament? Of course not, now, as for 14.0 for the C late variant, that’s fine, and if it’s slow speeds hamper it in the BVR heavy 16v16 chaos, do not move it down, instead decompress the top end up.
About Mach 1.05 or roughly 1300km/h. But the real problem it has is that it starts getting absolutely terrible acceleration once it’s speed gets above ~1000 km/h.
THIS !! thank you! omfg, is it that hard to knock some sense into some peoples heads?!
The F/A-18 is a very overpowered flight model at its designated BR on the dev server, in my opinion (i’m not that smart. so feel free to correct me), and the fact that (I believe, if I haven’t misread) ‘Lulzwhat’ didn’t even mention the F-18 in the Swedish TT just proves that this is a biased and stupid claim, made up by a nonsensical way of thinking with no basis in facts.
lose the JHMCS, and it can go to 13.7 just fine. if not, give 120C-5
Underperforms a lot = overpowered… OK, imagine if it would be correct…
But funny to see that smb got offended by lulzwhat…
It’s easy for some people to be offended by stupidity.
Just like when people say that the Abrams is useless, some people get pissed off by that stupidity while others just laugh at the skill issue of the person who just made that claim.
Can I see 12.0 Hornets? I would like to play broken overpowered plane.
/s
Don’t worry
F-4S on the new 11.0 will stop them
/s
It will be fine at 14.0, the only negative is the speed.
What does it really have over the other 14.0 though?
Missile count sure, but since it is slower they have less effective range
nothing. F15c is objectively better at a lower br. F16c is better for cas and while it doesn’t carry as many missiles, its still far more capable in a bvr fight.
