i mostly got gun kills and just shot at ground targets if team got air superiority
I occasionally go for ground but im mainly there for air kills. 4 2000lb bombs for rear defense main gun with tracers, 20mm gunpods with stealth belt and a separate keybind. 2 9L’s for swedish players unfortunate enough to play the J35D.
Peak loadout imo.

To be fair most nations haven’t received anything for top tier ground (11.3+) since Air Superiority. Italy (2A7HU) France (2A5NL/2A6NL), and China (HQ17) being the exceptions.

F-22A Early would actually be pretty interesting so long as we get some decompression at top tier.
- up to 2x 9Ms (ie. no 9Xs)
- up to 4x 120A/Bs, or up to 6x 120Cs (could do C-3s or C-5s)
- no HMD
Depending on how crazy the stealth is, the F-22 might be more of an analogue to the Rafale and Eurofighter. That or it’ll be the F-14A Early all over again… it all depends on how Gaijin handles it.

It has to get Cs since As and Bs don’t fit in the weapons bay.
It shouldn’t be as amazing as some think due to the average engagement ranges in game being much shorter than real life.

F/A-18E (early) Block I around 2001 ~ Q2 2003. without GBU-38(V)2/B JDAM, GBU-54(V)2/B LJDAM, AGM-154C JSOW, AGM-88E & AGM-88G AARGM, GBU-12F/B DMLGB and AGM-154C-1 JSOW
Fitted AN/APG-73 (RUG phase II) radar like F/A-18C/D but equipped 2nd gen targeting pod AN/AAS-46 TFLIR, and pre integrate JHMCS
F/A-18E (Late) Block II outfitted AN/APG-79 AESA radar
It maybe F/A-18E Block II

No, he’s too ugly
Wrong, it could carry As and Bs, up to 4 in the large bays. The point of the Cs was to carry more (6 instead of 4)

I mean, giving it early C missiles would be the same as giving it As/Bs, just that it could carry 2 more (if what you are saying is true anyways).
The Cs would only really differ from the As/Bs in-game if Gaijin goes straight for C-5s or even later ones, which they shouldn’t in case of an early F-22A.
they all have slightly reduced drag from being clipped wing. But won’t have a huge effect. Maybe get a few km farther
I am quite liking F/A-18C; having 10x AMRAAMs is just… something else.
It is tediously slow, but that’s not so bad for me, hahah.
So I am looking forward to F/A-18E, which would have even more (+2) AMRAAMs.

True. Only reason I highlighted the US is b3cause every time someone asks for a top tier ground vehicle for them, a lot of people just respond “hurr durr you just got 3763874 new high tier planes, just be happy”.

maybe even less maneuverable because smaller wings
idk, i heard they did something to counteract that but not sure
AIM-120B replace with AIM-120C-5, AIM-9X (Blk I) instead AIM-9L and add AIM-120C-7 after expand max BR to 14.7 or 15.0 in the future
Another guided Air-to-Ground munitions no AGM-84K SLAM-ER, AGM-154C JSOW and GBU-12F/B dual mode laser guided bomb (DMLGB)
F/A-18E early (Block I) early 2000’s era (2001 ~ Q2 2003) unlike F/A-18E (Block II) 2018 ~ 2020
no HMD alert

Eh, it’s an AMRAAM bus, it would be fine without HMD and/or HMS
Not really, they got JHMCS in 2003
