Well, for F-15C/Es, their definition of low speed is 900km/h ish, which is definitely good enough. You dont want to go lower for sure.

depends on what we’re comparing to, it loses to a lot of things at that BR in a dogfight from my experience, and it should lose to the F/A-18 too from what I know

the only thing the US has that should beat the F18 at low speeds is the F16 everything else from what I know will lose in a low speed dog fight
F-22 would slam the hornet in any speed
Iirc there was a LFP armor upgrade developed in the 90s that increased the KE protection by 33%, but it wasn’t used due to weight limitations or something iirc. 33% increase would put it slightly over 500mm vs KE from the top of my head using the current Abrams LFP armor from memory.
I would assume that this would be the base value Gaijin would go for, but then again this is Gaijin. They might just do what you said.
i meant in game lol
even being lightly over 500mm of KE most top tier rounds are pushing 600mm so I doubt it will help very much, I dont think the Sep V3 is gonna be this saviour people think its gonna be lol
Ok then
I think the F-16 does better at higher speeds but the hornet is better at lower speeds
Sounds like a Marketing lie :P

Eh it would at least stop the Abrams hull from being a lolpen for rounds going back to DM33 even.
Also it’ll be a new tank that is actually a somewhat meaningfull upgrade, unlike the SEPv2, so it will eventually help getting more actually good multi nation players returning to the US. Thus helping with their winrate.
The Leopard 2 PSO, which most would argue really wasn’t much (if at all) of an upgrade over the 2A6, but there was an increase in top tier German winrates after it was added.
I could see gaijin saying that lol
ZT3A2 fire on the move capability moment

it still fat and still get penned tho
with the an F/A-18A+ or F/A-18C premium I doubt it, especially when they have what is it 3 or 4 top ground premiums now?
hopefully they fixed that before the introduction of this, would be a shame that we would have to be sitting still to shoot

it’ll be close between them; in game the Hornet should win because rate fighting doesn’t really happen in ARB, so AoA is usually king, and the Hornet has great low speed lift thanks to it being a carrier aircraft

Yeah, it can pull more so if hornet has good aim it’ll win most of the time
Can’t the type 2 KA-MI have those ship parts like the KA-CHI?
I got the picture off the subreddit btw

I highly doubt that a 18A+/18C premium will have a large effect on US top tier ground winrates. Neither positive or negative.
Let’s be honest, most of the top tier premium cannonfodder can’t even get enough spawnpoints to spawn in them anyway.
I’m looking forward to using the M61A1 again, I’ve been on the J-10, and now Typhoon for a while, both of them have really poor guns, I miss the days of F-16A top tier where you’d still get a decent number of gun kills.
Though that is all assuming that there is a Desert Storm or earlier Hornet
