The Python 4 was datamined some time last year, and it had both suspension and gate width narrowing IRCCMs, so while that may have just been a placeholder, for the time being, that’s what I’m expecting it to come with.

not only IRCCM missiles are nerfed, AIM-9L is for example, lacks of IRCCM, but still underperforms

I doubt 9M would put it as low as 12.7, the Hornet won’t be as bad as you think, but I concede it’s possible, the Mirage F1 and 2000 have been under tiered for a while now, and they often do with aircraft of that type
Mirage F1 undertiered???

It’s got a boat load of CMs and IRCCM missiles, I figure it’d be fine at 12.3 like the MiG-21 Bison, I mean it’s fine where it is, it’s more the Mirage 2000 that needs to move to 12.7
Boat load of IRCCM missiles

Radar missiles it has are not great and neither is the radar and RWR

The F1C definitely isn’t bad, but I would say it is fine at 12.0. It only gets two Magic IIs, which are limited a lot by their lack of range.
The Matra Supers really don’t work well currently (at least not when paired with the F1C s radar) and it gets only 3 of them at most anyways.
Then there is the issue of a terrible RWR…
The guns, flight performance and CM count are pretty good, not good enough to warrant a higher BR though.

only two.
the radar missiles are poor and the RWR is about as advanced at the ones on the early harriers.
The Bison is better in literally every measurable way.

Meant to be boatload of CMs, and IRCCM missiles
those are it’s only redeeming quality
Honestly they should remove Magic 2 from Mirage F1C and F1C-200 and move them down to 11.3
It’s flight performance is pretty decent, and the bomb and rocket options make it great for grinding, it’s pretty equivalent to something like the Mirage 2000D at 12.3
Could folder it with early and late I guess?
I suspect they’ll get the version with ground attack first as Sweden doesn’t have great CAS and then the F-18 would come later as a premium seeing as it would sell like mad
Are We There Yet?
eh doubt it
13.3 premium after a 13.0 premium is unlikely for a small nation like sweden
You say that but a premium Hornet is going to make lots of money for Gaijin, and I wouldn’t expect this to happen soon anyways
Also 13.7 premium
It’ll be better than the JF-17, F.3 late, SU-34, and MiG-29SMT

You know, I wonder if buddy lasing will ever make it to the game. Probably not but it would be interesting to see. Like an Apache lights up a couple of targets for say an F-16 to lob bombs at.

It’s funny how empty these chats become the moment ground and air get finished in technology.
It’s significantly harder to guess/rumor “filler” BRs than it is the next BR step, especially since the next BR step will likely be decompression before a new technology.
Though F-2 is a good guess/rumor.
F-16V might occur but there’s no real evidence suggesting that it’s coming.
F-15Cs might finally get decompressed to F-15E, might not.
Who knows…
As for premium Hornet that @BearHasLanded is suggesting… that’s not happening. At least not the C.
F-18A as a premium? Plausible.
