Of course they can’t lol
Doesn’t matter that they were the first ones to pull it off ;)
I saw an opportunity to test my ability to respond tactfully to see if I could, and I’m glad it seems to have worked.
I appreciate your explanations, so thank you.
It’s good to read the reasoning behind your thoughts.

But it would lose 2 7P to balance it out
Early version did use avionics from the lavi and im pretty sure the radar as well
F/A-18A would be better at 12.7 with 6+2 or 4+6, since half the planes in 12.3 are CAS aircrafts who does not have a clue of what is energy fighting or what is a SARH(GR.7, GR.4, JH-7A, K2K), or fighters at least half a generation behind(EJK, F-20A), the only two that can put up a fight then has to rely on their missiles(BISON, M2KCS4) and getting their better missile off first
Eh, C early could lose 2 AIM-7P and replace 9L with 9M and be fine
The F/A-18C Early should receive 9Ms and then move to 13.0 really, it would be the closest US counterpart to the SU-27, not that it is particularly close, but that high missile quantity, high AoA, low T/W and lower speed, platform would be interesting to see for the US at 13.0

If it loses the 2 aim-7p it could get 9m and stay 12.7 though I think
Indeed, at the end of the day it is depression again, but the few 11.7 aircraft would much apperciate the lack of hornets chasing them down. A-10Cs and Su-25SM3 has 2 IRCCM missile and nothing else really

It’d be too good for 12.7 even with that
They also have a lot of flares
A-10C has 4 9M too
yeah, I can tell you now, I’m very much looking forward to playing the F/A-18A, given its new BR at 12.3 I think it’s going to do very well
let’s not pretend that the A-10C is comparable to the F/A-18

So C early to 13.0 with 9M
And A to 12.7 with 9M/7M combo (which are same as 7F tbf)
Remember that A has worse engines too
I’m not saying that, just that A-10C and Su-25SM3 wouldn’t be suffering too much from 9M’s
evidence?
The A and the C Early have the same engines, or at least they did when I last checked
9M have very strong IRCCM it would get 2-6 9Ms and 2-4 AIM7Ps you saying the Mig29 at the SAME br should get 4 to 6 R73s?

How does that help your case though, two rarely used 11.7 aircraft not suffering too much isn’t really a great argument
Huh, ok
Even then, 7M worse than 7P and if C early went to 13.0 it would have to keep the extra AIM-7
So A could be 12.7 with 7M/9M
