Failed attempt of sacarsm…
You even failed to sacarsm something…
AFAIK, F-100D cannot get AIM-9X because those jets are retired WAY TOO EARLY than AIM-9X born in blueprint.
:/
F-5C with AIM-9E
The gap between F-100D and AIM-9X is way bigger than the gap between F-5C and AIM-9E.
I know he tried to be sarcastic with ‘technical compatibility’
But failed sacarsm is failed sacarsm.
So Swiss Hornet should be punished because they bought later version? How funny.
Not to mention its based on late c model which is heavier than early version, now granted for most of the time its better in terms of flight performance but trying to rip Swiss hornets with worse missiles is not something balanced.
Either all premium hornets gets aim-9M or none should get it.
wouldnt call balancing a vehicle thats blatantly superior “punishment” but ok
which is the main thing that makes the hornet so overpowered. youre the same BR as phantom variants but turn like a prop.
AIM-9P5 or L/i wouldnt be that big of a difference, still IRCCM on a godly platform as a backup missile to the also ridiculously good aim-7p. just slight enough to balance the better flight performance from the engines

Its heavier and compansates this by having more countermeasures.
In one vs one early model holds the advantage.
Same goes for any hornet in this case.
Problem isn’t the IRCCM its the missile flight performance.
Aim-9P-5 is subpar compare to Aim-9M in every way except IRCCM.
800kg more empty weight but 1500kg more static thrust. it has TWR, CM, and slightly better radar. maybe also RWR
Radar and RWR are the same as early ones have.
Only late models gets slightly better radar and upgraded RWR.
APG-65 vs 73.
also gets EGBU’s and AAS-38B pod while C early gets AAS-38A
Which has practically no difference in terms of gameplay.
What does this have to do with RWR?
CAS capabilities has no effect on Air Rb performance as well.
Actually 9Ms are weather changing and they are important in ground battles also, so every jet that have guided CAS and 9Ms, should be moved to 12.3
Swiss premium Hornet already sits at 12.7 in ground Rb due to its CAS capabilities.
I thought all the prem hornets are 12.3, although they don’t have 9Ms.
But if you’re talking about top hornet(not the super one), then it totally deserves 12.7
Swiss premium sits at 12.7 due to having better CAS abilities, in fact I used to for some time in my top tier ground line-up despite having EF-2000 because of mavericks.
In air Rb they all are 12.7, in ground rb other models should be 12.3 except Swiss model iirc.
I see, yes, it has LJDAMs, they can perform very good even against top tier SPAAs
Personally I prefer to use mavericks while flying low popping up last second and spam on them against SPAA’s.
As for the br difference in ground rb its only fair that Swiss version has higher br due to its CAS capabilities but I still think all premium hornets should get the Aim-9M.
now thats a big one for it to be higher than the rest if it has more than 60 CMs
better thrust to mass ratio from it.

Yea and I never denied that.
Static thrust doesn’t mean anything tbh.
Variable thrust is the one you should be looking which is also higher in Swiss model but not that high iirc.
Yes, because their 9Ls are almost useless against everybody else with 9M and R-73.
That’s why I am mad about Grippen A being 12.0, with IR pod, with 4 mavericks and 9Ms and besides everything, it’s manuverability
