Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

It wasn’t insane on the dev server. It was mid as hell. As soon as it ran into a rafale, eurofighter, f15c/e, hell even the Gripen or f16c and the hornet just folds like a cheap suit. 10x aim120 isn’t that much of an advantage if you cant take advantage of the range.

only thing it was on devserver - underperforming in STR a lot
and lack of weapons…
thats it.

Ah, sorry. Nothing but Just curiosity.
Did you bought your tornado GR.4?

After I saw your comment, memories about GR.4 and your claim just got sparked.

Haven’t played much of Britain due to ground tech trees and spading top aircraft.

Im not you barely play vehicles with ARH missiles and are just coping rn man

I have a question, gentlemen.
How many patches ago were we denied the F-2? Truly it can’t be so overpowered that we’re forced to wait this long for it.

It really wouldn’t be that op ;-; I don’t know why we haven’t gotten it yet unless they are saving it for something or just being lazy because they already have a top tier

Ah yes a 10x amraam loadout on a platform that is incredibly mid at best/borderline mediocre at worst at BVR and that makes you bad in dogfights (the Hornets one strength lmao).

Taking 10 Amraams on a Hornet is like playing a football game but shooting yourself in the foot right before a game, no matter what position you play that gunshot wound will hold you back.

Patch 10! Give it up for patch 10!

You can always just shoot off a couple of them on the way in and then enter the dogfight

At least on the dev it wasn’t all that heavy with the 10x aim120 but it may change

4 DL channel radar says hello.

So worst case you will be stuck with 6 amraams still until you get within 16km, the loss of flight performance meaning you are already in a worse position than somrthing like an EFT/Rafale/F-15E.

EDIT: not saying the Hornet is bad, but running it with 6 amraams is probably a lot smarter than running it with 10.

Oh, near part 5 lol

I might not post until gajin implemented this major update to live server

Yeah I will say its going to be an amazing rat figher like the rafale where you sit on the deck and sling a million missiles

It was a while ago. It should have come earlier. I think personally that they might now be waiting to add it with some other F-16 variants with AESA/PESA radars like the F-16I Sufa or the F-16E/V/Block 70.

But we can try the F-2 through custom models though. We got a user made F-2 before an official F-2.

For most of the dev it also was one of the few planes with AOA button which helped it up close (possibly compensating for all those leftover amraams), but it has to share that advantage with a lot more aircraft now.

Actually this would be the 11th patch
