Swiss F/A-18C premium underperforming

i feel like your forgetting the part where i state that what makes it better is being able to do better in close ranges with hmd micas

And then you have the kfirc c10 that’s still at 13.0 for some reason.

kfir is a gen3 platform, though probably the best of the ones at 13.0

Correct, but I honestly think it could go up to 13.3 if decompression to 16.0 and up happens to give 12.7’s some breathing room.

they have fox3 missiles the Russian RVV-AE and the Chinese PL-12

I think astro had a video recently explaining a possible decompression

Itt would be 14.0 because the exact same finnish F-18C is already 14.0.

and they shouldnt be 13.3 to begin with.

none the less hornet with 9Ms and AMRAAMs wont be 13.3 since all Hornets in said config are 14.0 at minimum. The only difference between swiss TT hornet and premium hornet are the sidewinders and amraams.

I’m ready to bet money they will never, ever go up, they probably make so much money from chinese players rushing to buy broken pay to win garbage. At least it’s food for my kfir C10 so I ain’t complaining.

I mean its gaijin lol. nonetheless gaijins inactivity and greed arent an argument to ruin the game further.

me neither, MKK is fun to fly, but god does it completly stomp in downtiers.

Maybe 13.7 (where the premium Su-30s should be IMO) if it doesn’t get the double racks, defiantly 14.0 if it dose.

The premiums F18 are good version if you cant get a good matches is skill issue, the only players than can say simething wrong with the f18 is the 14.0 and the 14.3 ones

While they are 12.7 they are practically 13.3 because of all the 13.3 prems right now. They are nice planes but you’re expected to be the underdog every single match. Doesn’t help that you have one of the worst SARH missiles at tier.

If they only saw other 12.7 BR aircraft it wouldn’t be a problem, their BR bracket is an eternal curse sadly.

You have the 2nd best SARH missile in the game, so explain?

I should of worded it better by saying between tier 12.7-13.3 since thats what you face 90% of the time. You get rocked by R27ER’s from the Su-33 and Mig29 you will constantly face.

They are not bad per say, but the low energy of the F-18 means the missiles are very slow off the rail compared to what everyone else is throwing at you. Since most competent players know that they just need to toss a Fox 3 and jump into a notch window, you feel pretty helpless most of the match.

So… it’s still the 2nd best SARH in the game. Your statement of “you have one of the worst SARH missiles at the tier” falls short of reality.

When the missile in 1st place is a Lambo and the missile in 2nd place is a mustang, its “position” at 2nd place doesn’t mean much.

Damn I wish I could play those downtiers in my Su-30MK2.

Most of my games are 13.7-14.3.

The AIM-7P is what now? It’s second only to the R-27ER

Not the best example, I would drive a Mustang (Gimme a late 60s Shelby) over a Lambo any day of the week! And I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Top tier dose need some serious decompression though. but if you think the 7Ps are bad, try using the Fs on the F-2 ADTW at 13.0 (talking strictly about the AIM-7s here not comparing the overall planes)

Bit weird honestly, I personally see full uptier once in a blue moon.

Nonetheless, Id say the premium Su30 are perfectly capable of holding their own. You run full ARH + R73 or you take R27ETs as well?
