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

Might be a bit broken. but still nice

Why would they add another missile with kinematics that are basically the same as the aim120 a/b when they could just use the the aim120 a/b? Sure early aim120c can pull a bit harder but that’s not really the f18’s issue, it’s the lack of range due to the lack of top speed. aim120 c-5 is already in the files and it solves the range issue for the hornet.

Does C-4 have slightly better range due to improved aerodynamic or something?

This top speed cope is unreal.

Well, with barely supersonic on deck platform would pretty much no difference with 120A/B
Ans like 1.7 on high alt?

This harrier cope is unreal

Is it lmao.

It’s also subsonic and I can still do ok with just 2 AIM120s yet the F18 gets 10

My flight model has been grossly underperforming for 2.25 years yet it still did well?

The F-18 is fine at 14.0 with its loadout.

Hornet is also a full 1.0 higher

top speed matters?

you see, the harrier isn’t 14.0

Yes it’s not but it sees up tiers lol

You suggest the F-18 with 10 amraams should be 13.0?

no?

From what I’ve seen of it, the Hornet will be good, just not at the climb to 7km and lob missiles from 60km playstyle.

It fits my playstyle way better than the F-15E or even the Typhoon does anyway, and if they give it 120C-5s then all the better

as it should be. it out-performs all the current 13.0s in every metric (besides the c.10 with its radar)

dont know where he got the idea that i was even remotely implying the f18 should be 13.0

Are people still whining about the harrier

Whatever float your boat.

TBF, it absolutely should just have BOL pods
