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
Aye, again, there are attackers, designed for CAS, without SARH, without a clue about energy fight, some are not even supersonic - going to be at the same BR of a hornet. Not gonna be fun. The bison maybe has a chance if it can get close enough for a R-73 launch but that is a maybe, and it might has to waste a SARH forcing notch to get into R-73 range.

IMHO, even though F/A-18A flies badly, giving 9M while letting it play at 12.7 is brutal take if we consider Harrier GR.7, Netz. or F-16A ADF.
13.0 would kill the plane, it would almost always fight EFT, F15E, Su30SM Refales
Even the A, with a loadout of 6 x AIM-9M + 2 x AIM-7M, that is a 13.0 loadout on the F/A-18 airframe

Ppl would probably not like it but they could always just not let you put 9M on certain stations to limit number
or, hear me out you keep the 9L that is the counterpart of the R60M which is what the Mig29 at 12.7 is armed with
only until 14.3 is added
What you are describing is a temporary matchmaking problem for the aircraft, not an issue with either the BR, the balance, or the aircraft itself, just that right now, because top tier is 14.0, it will likely see more uptiers than not
It is a non-related issue that I wish people would stop bringing up
like you said, bad idea
its easy place it at 12.7 where it wont be DOA move it to 13.0 when 14.3 comes out easy
Edit: miss read what you meant my bad
Except that isn’t going to happen, and we can’t just keep shifting BRs of vehicles to suit what we currently want.
Long term, it would be better that the aircraft be historically accurate and balanced appropriately at 13.0
Its the “forum paradox” that, across a few different platforms in communities, would always take place. If a vehicle is too low-BRd, people would discuss possible cases where it is in a full downtier. If a vehicle might be over-BRd, that changes into full uptiers, and the other way would usually not be discussed.
With that being said F/A-18A should be 12.7 and 6+2 is discussable, and F/A-18C(E) could be 13.0 only if it has AIM-9Ms, at a BR where aircrafts either has IRCCM(flankers, F15A), has ARH(J8F, kfir), or both(KWS).

Lavochkin: idk uh it lets people grind more parts
idk what does this mean it just looks weird

Fair enough.
Hopefully they fix 9L to be less flare hungry so the A is better. And finally give it 7P.
And 13.0 C early with 9M 7P
With sound

If you fart into an a10 pilots cockpit he might actually crash, same for su25, but not sure if hitting them with rapier would do much
omg I want that as a mod
On a seperate note, I wish creating sound mods was easier
I mean 12.7 is a more favorable BR for the 18C early, due to not being sucked up into the 14.0 BR. However it’s not a particularly fair BR for it.
Man, that got me good :)
All gaijin had to do was give the 18A 7Ps and it no one bat a eye at it being 12.7. But they dug their heels and said no.
