Well, if it is going to be a top tier vehicle (which I doubt) it’ll need that radar to compete against everything else there
Well the A version is going to be 12.3 or 12.7
The A+ is most likely going to be 13.0 along with the C
And the E has to be 13.7 as an analogue to the Su-27SM
If you want the Su-30 and Rafale, then you need to play USSR and France
The A+ and C would have to be at least 13.3, there’s no reason for them to share the same BR as stuff like the AMRAAM Harriers, the JA37DI and F-4F ICE
Yes. India isnt close enough to the rest of the British commonwealth to be valid in the British tree

Oh no, you would have to play the nations that are known for these vehicles, what a surprise

Ironically F4F ice might be better than A+, due of CM amount, being faster. But less missiles and not that maneuvrable
The snail decided you get them at a BR of another nation where they couldn’t be any less needed

A+, sure, I could see them giving it an appropriate loadout to just fit 13.0, but ideally both the A+ and C should be at least 13.3
Can we get a british subtree in the indian tree pls thx?

Idk 13.0 with 10 amraams and a solid FM is a bit low. Id say 13.3 or 13.7 for the C. 13.7 or 14.0 for the E aswell
F/A-18A+/C DS with AMI-7 and AIM9-M at 13.0
F/A-18C with AMRAAM but no AESA at 13.7, with AESA at 14.0

There’s like 5 Indian vehicles in the tree. Besides I welcome our new IT department with open arms.
Is the E that much better than the C, assuming both have AESA?
more payload basically, as well as nicer cockpit, and RCS reduction features. a USMC C with AESA vs a current Navy E, the E is far better at strike and has a longer range, both have similar a2a capability. E has more hardpoints too
Yeah, I figured it was more A2G, they can both carry 12 AMRAAMS though as the extra pylon on the E isn’t for A2A right?
Just with ground having separate BRs now I figured they’d be the same BR for air, ignoring 9X that is
can F-18C carry amraam on wingtips? if not, then C only carries 10, the E carries 10 for sure though. if it gets the EWP will be 12
Not sure, I don’t think it does though now that you mention it, however I don’t think it’s enough of a difference to warrant a BR change, I imagine most people will run with 2 tipwinders anyways, though of course having more options is better

a block 2 super hornet (most likely i think) would be higher than an APG-73 F-18C though for sure
