might be more playable if this report gets implemented

It has them yes, but getting to use them will be a whole different challenge given how easy kills the Hornets for the new AAs.
Super Hornet does kind of try to go for both close range fighting (flight performance) and BVR fighting (missile count), however imo it just ends up being mediocre at both because of that.
Doesn’t help that the AIM-9Ms probably matches the Hornets playstyle the least.
Since I already have the F-15C GE somewhat spaded it’s a choice between a “plug&play” mid jet or grinding a new mediocre jet from scratch. I’ll probably do both though after I get the M10, NASAMS and AESA EFT.
if that goes through do you think we could get EX with -132 engines?
Yep not even a Rafale can win against an R-27ER especially with the insane Gimble limits of the IRBIS

Come on gaijin, i would do anything for this 🙏
For F-16A you have radar missiles. For F18, you need decent positioning and know how to make your radar work
Not really helpful in the grand scheme of things, but sure it could
Will PW229EEP and GE129SLEP also be options?
idk if these two variants have increase in thrust
The F16A dogs F4J even with access to HMD and the aim7f.
The 7F you can corkscrew through.
The F18A is the same it has far better radar, avionics and missiles.
Well the SARH missiles.
But it doesn’t have the samw top speed.
It can very much so, just mutipath until you’re within range and fire off a mica.
coming back to this thread, its one of the absolute worst jets ive played
Can’t be worse than a stock F-84F for air combat
You have usable guns, don’t rely on missiles or countermeasures, and don’t have to worry about them too much either.
It’s not an easy plane for sure but imo it’s more playable if your gunnery is solid
Idk bro I played neither of them but I heard the F-84F is absolutely terrible in air performance and is only good because it’s an attacker
top tier US has got to be the worst feeling nation in the game.
i just quit and started playing RU and FR since its such abysmal dogshit

Eh, that’s a stretch and that’s coming from a serial US keeps getting lazy copy paste complainer.
Most of there end of line additions 3/5 are really good for there BR especially with the BR decompression happening i.e. f16C, f15E and the harrier. its just that some of the most popular (and NEWEST additions) get focused on more. like don’t get me wrong I’m upset with the implementation of the F15C GE and F/A18E (less so the f15C GE after seeing the upcoming decompression) but its overall top tier is still more good than bad.
That’s probably just because those are the top 2 nations in the META right now China and Israel players would also feel that way even some EFT nation players, those two are miles better than most of there competition in the meta and will be always more enjoyable until the META is forced to change.
