I prefer the non-skull VF-2 scheme for the D model but it is what it is

This is such a letdown though. At least we got the Black Lions one…I was worried they were gonna do the basic boring low vis for them
No black tail VF-31 camo yet but this one’s amazing too:
Hopefully someone will make it. It’s “Last Time” instead of “Anytime”. If they give us a fictional scheme I’ll be pretty sad tbh. Not including “Last Time” as a GE skin is depressing

making the most requested Tomcat a premium is depressing too

I agree but still it should’ve been an option
Someone made this. This also could’ve (should’ve) been an option.

i got a better hit to kill ratio with the AIM-7s then with AIM-120s, that and sparrow slinging just feels all around better to do, doesn’t mater the range
that’s weird, aim7 is heavier, with less range, acceleration, and maneuverability, and that’s comparing it to the f/m older aim7s are even worse. I haven’t used the p as I just don’t like the f-18 aesthetically but I can’t imagine it’s much better just because it can require lock.

the warhead is bigger, when my AIM-120s do hit, more often then not all id get is a hit, with AIM-7s its either a crit and the aircraft is on fire actively falling or it straight up kill them, wishing we did what the Japanese did and kept the bigger warhead and just modernized the sparrow and keep that as our medium range missile but kept working on the 120 to eventually make it the long range missiles its is today

They don’t do everything we want, there’s still no tech tree version. Until that happens we will keep complaining

Too much weathering and panelling for my taste, also not the same camo as the one we’ve talked about which I like specifically.

@coffee_can-psn AIM-120 and ARH in general are way easier to notch than SARH because you are defeating the weak missile radar instead of strong aircraft based one.
There are times when I’m also taking AIM–7M on AIM-120 equipped platform.

Nah, I’m and p is real easy to notch and can be rolled. Only r27r/er that is annoying

well, when I roll “no chaff needed” and your aim7 misses tough luck, seriously r27er I’d understand but the aim7 is just way worse and not worth bringing, I mean at that point just use the aim9m with a little closer range

To roll it out you first - need speed which is not a given and second - you need to identify its the AIM-7 and not another AIM-120
Agreed but it is one of the cooler schemes
Yeah no last time I checked fox 3 is the superior missile and is harder to notch compared to fox 1. aim7P/r27er are a different story plus if I remember correctly the aim120 can still receive updated information from aircraft as well
Yeah I think that’s just you giving your self the disadvantage especially if it’s not the aim7p
I can see trading out aim54 for aim7m/p but I don’t see trading out aim120A for aim7m as a advantage
What you just said right know just gave an example that aim120 are harder to defeat than aim7 not to mention it should be easier to notch a aim7 than a aim120
