Shame shame rip rip
Well, I am still happy to hear that one Hornet will have AIM-7P as it’s best radar missile, it will be interesting to see how it fares!
Now for the fight for the 9M

What does that add other than IOG, which was already present on the R-27R?
And what BR is the F/A-18C early going to be?
“The powerful F404 series engine (that slightly varies in power in different models), excellent aerodynamics and advanced flap design not only makes the Hornet one of the best planes in the game in terms of maximum speed and climb rate”
I’m sorry but… LMAO

IOG is a huge upgrade in of itself TBH
DL.
The 7MH would be mighty nice on the F-4E now.
Prayge for the old stuff getting some love
Is it enough that it justifies it being 13.0? with no IRCCM or ARH?
It’ll still be the worst 13.0 by far, with effectively AIM-9L and R-27R, I don’t see how it’s justified

I am more curious about F/A-18C ‘Late’ being 14.0 despite being a slower F-15C…
Same BR as the Eurofighters, Rafales, and the upcoming SU-30 with its thrust-vectoring and improved 50G R-77-1.

But with that much ordnance?
It shouldn’t go ANY lower if you ask me.
Again, compression issue.
I dont think 6 aams is to much for air RB and the CAS load out is fine when split BR are a thing

R-77-1 isn’t thrust vectoring
It’s still a 'roided up F-5E so it’ll work as long as not played cluelessly.
Ok, my bad!
Still a 50G missile though, one that apparently solves the downsides regular R-77 may have.
Why fight to give the 18A 9M’s ?
At a BR like 12.7, with 9L + 7M, it’ll be a really decent plane. If you give it 9M, it’ll have to go up to 13.0, where it will just get bullied by 14.0’s every match.
The direct buff is an even bigger indirect nerf.
A lot of the 12.7 aircraft have 6 AAMs already so I also don’t really see the problem.
A2G ordinance? it’s good but nothing spectacular for air, and ground BRs are different anyway
unless you mean A2A ordinance which is about equivalent to the F-15A but on a worse airframe
