Tbf I’ve talked about the J8A on sweden and had someone ask why i was talking the J-8 on china when i was referring to the prop plane on sweden lol.
Same goes with the T 2 on sweden lmao
Military Designations,… what a beautiful world.
even worse with the squadron F-35 (a J35 but still)
Its like the F-35 when that got leaked lmao
Clearly our 1960s aircraft title was copying the US F-35 as we have a time machine lmao
those Danes ^^"

Just FYI 7M are ingame identical to 7F, if any difference exists its due to planes radar

7m has better gimbal limit and slightly more drag but other than that identical

AIM-7M better gimbal limit - a bit more allowing.
not that much but it’s still better than AIM-7F
Very interesting statistics, thanks for your efforts.
Apparently, the problem lies solely in my tactics, which prevents me from maintaining 2 K\B and properly managing the 7M.
From my personal observations, the most enjoyable battles are 12v12 at any BR starting from 12.7.
And in the current meta, I just want the F-2a ADTW to play evenly across all BRs, rather than spending 85% of battles at 13.7-14.0 playing survival.

This plane is utterly trash.
Should have bought a hornet.
How is the f2 premium trash? It’s better than the hornet…

I’m ready to bet hard cold cash it will never move up. Look at the NF5A lol. Those two jets simply make too much money, they’re never, ever moving up.
Also see a lot of people moaning about sparrows but weren’t sparrows genuinely dogwater in real life? I remember reading a report on them that stated bluntly that more than half of all launches outright failed. If the missile was a lemon irl, stands to reason it would suck in game too, maybe the US should’ve made a better sarh missile idk.
When the Mirage 2000 S4 and the MiG-21 Bison are still at 12.3, there is no reason to place the F-18A any higher. The Mirage 2000 CS4 and the MiG-21 Bison are the two aircraft you should be comparing it to, because they perform better than the F-18A in ARB matches.
Mirage 2000-CS4/S5 : 4 missiles mostly out-dated. Yes Magic-2 is good but not a freekill.
AoA wise, F/A-18A can and will pull more. (sad for a Delta Wing,… because AoA should be the prime Characteristics of such aircraft,… also it doesn’t get the FBW limiter removal (AFAIK: it have a single switch button for such thing located right in the cockpit)
MiG-21 Bison happens to be a Premium aircraft,… so if we consider that F/A-18C early should stay 12.7, there is no reason the MiG-21 Bison should go upwards,… as F-4S does have HMS (as the MiG-21Bison) and r-73 are as good as Magic-2 Missiles.
F/A-18A can and will best out both aircrafts because of it’s better Radar overall, and amount of missiles, but since you don’t trust, i’m currently seaching on the F/A-18A, then i’ll do as better than you in order to grind all modifications.
You’re trying to get me started on the Mirage 2000C S4 and MiG-21 Bison (that you don’t have),… but looking at your single stats:
Mirage 2000C S4 (Event Aicraft):
since December 23th 2025: You’ve got 95 kills for 22 deaths (42 games)
F/A-18A :
since December 23th 2025: You’ve got 111 kills for 20 deaths (49 games)
SO:
Mirage 2000C S4:
Kill per spawn; 2.261905 (best when higher)
Kill per deaths; 4.318182 (best when higher)
Deaths per games: 0.523809 (best when lower)
F/A-18A:
Kill per spawn; 2.265306 (best when higher)
Kill per deaths; 5.55 (best when higher)
Deaths per games: 0.408163 (best when lower)
you’re then perfoming better in F/A-18A than Mirage 2000C S4.
how so, since:

Are you saying the f18a should be 12.7 with its garbage level sparrows? 12.7- 13.7 is playing out 90% of games ATM… pretty sure it would even take the kfirs crown of worst time on WT
AirRB is in that bad of a state RN iv started playing ground… I hate ground.
c7, c2 or c10? the first two seem like a horrible, no good, very bad time but the c10 is peas ngl.
(I am a massive kfir c10 fanboy)

That is just my personal statistic; it is not reliable reference data. And even if you base your judgment on it, their kills per game are almost identical, even though the Migrate 2k has four fewer IRs than the F-18A… Other stats depend heavily on the matchmaker.
And moreover, why don’t you consider that I might simply be bad at playing the Mirage2k?
And even if I’m wrong in saying that the Mirage 2000 S4 does not have superior performance compared to the F-18A, you still have to prove that the F-18A is “completely superior in combat performance” in order to justify it being at a higher BR than other aircraft. And that is something you cannot prove, because personal combat data is subjective.
Just the kfir canard. Not played any of the others.
The rest are probably great as they have a working RWR and the impossible to aim rudder is fixed.
Probs wont get to try the other Kfirs…canards that bad il.loose my mind if i kept playing it.
aw man, sorry you had such an awful time… :C
yeah I test flew the canard and I was like… damn this is the jet everyone’s gassing up to grind pissrael? no thanks i’ll stick with the A4E. But if you ever want to give the kfir a chance again, pick the C10, that thing is stupid fun to use, I was shocked by how insanely quick it is, like half my deaths in the thing are from overspeeding lol

Decompression would fix a lot of thing not just the premium , in fact fuck all the premium cause people who own F18/F2A have one goal is to basebomb and contribute literally nothing else and it is actually fking over other tech tree over.
God can give these people good FM and AAM but they still choose to do the most basic thing and basebombing until they get what they want.
For f sake the Op literally complain about such a non issue if he bother to learn how to play the thing.
Somehow always the plane fault but not the player. You can fix all the issue and there will always be someone blaming the vehicle.
And yes if anyone ask. I am stock grinding Mig-29G and seeing all these knuckler dragger in their shiny premium play does not make me happy with the state of 13.0 MM.
F/A-18A have better acceleration time under Mach 1
which translate here:
F/A-18A Better sustained turnrate from 360km/h to 900km/h
best instantanous turn rate being the Mirage 2000C S4 (but as many all delta wings, this is lost fast)
F/A-18A have higher coefficients of Drags because it also have an higher maximum AoA (allowing easier gunkills at anyspeeds, because the nose will move around more freely)
translating also there:
the Mirage 2000C S4 does have a similar AoA limit (slightly under the F/A-18A), but at much slower speeds in comparison.
So basically:
F/A-18A > Mirage 2000C S4 >>>>> MiG-21 Bison
the Bison rely on superior weaponnary
the Mirage 2000C S4 does have less but superior IR Missiles and not superior SARH ones.
then F/A-18A have similar missile kit (+2 AIM-9L if compared at same SARH number) than F-16AJ (12.7 BR), while the F-4EJ Kai (12.3 BR) is clearly subpar in every aspects. (as demonstrated 17 times,… AIM-7F =/= AIM-7M - there is a different gimbal limit, allowing more HOBS launches).
you wanted demonstration that F/A-18A is superior performance wise? done
Missile wise? number in this game, currently works better than quality, because players are sheeps wiating to get chopped (unlike you as it seems).
Gun Wise ? more bullet, better Velocity, more rounds (despite higher rate of fire), and more easily lead at the target at any speeds
now? what is it you want?
