If the F-18C received 4 aim 9m’s it shouldnt warrant a BR change all the way up to 13.3 as the F2 has AAM-3 which are also a IRCCM, aswell the base SU-27 is at br 13.0 and still has its R-73’s and R27R. I believe it would only need a raise up to 13.0 as its already meeting most of the IRCCM missles in its uptiers, aswell as some early varients of fighters with aamraams such as the german F-4 ICE and the premium JA37DI F21

The fa18c faces against SU 30 MKK which has 6 AMRAAMs, but if it gets even an 0.6 uptier, it would not be fair face against the SU 30 MKK, so adding even 4 AMRAAMs to the fa 18c, it would be fair facing against the SU 30MKK, or the JF-17 or the SU 30MK2 AMV which has 6 AMRAAMS too, so the fa18c should be put to 13.3 too and be given ATLEAST 4 AMRAAMs to even be able to attack them. You could say that you can destroy the SU 30s with fa18c, but it is so hard to do if you are not ambushing
The compression makes balance impossible F-18 with 6x 9Ms and 4x Aim-7P Vs say Gripen or F16A with 6x 9Ms, it’s pretty clear it probably should be higher. But at the same time that places to at the same BR as the Su27/Su33 with similar loadout. Premium Su30s should not be 13.3.
It’s just a complete and total mess
then instead of 6 aim9ms, they should give 4 aim9ms or even less, the aim9l sucks if you are not behind the enemy
SU30MKK,SU30MK2,JF 17 has AMRAAMs too but they are in 13.3?
then lower the amounts of aim7p to 4, also the Su30mkk and su30mk2 have AMRAAMs too but they are in 13.3, so why 0.7 more br?
JF-17 has four and no HMD. While the others have no business being at 13.3 but the snail cares more about money than balance.
idk i dont think we need the C hornets at 13.3 i think all current 13.3s need to be moved to 13.7 and some 13.7s need to move up
?

As I said. Balance is absolutely impossible with 12.0+ at the moment because of stupid levels of compression they are making a lot worse
im saying that the fa18c early cannot attack the su30mkk properly because it has 6 AMRAAMs
Finnish F-18C is 14.0 with no HMD and only AIM-120A/B.
So yeah the 18C early with AIM-120A would be 14.0.

That isn’t nearly the maximum amount of AIM-120s the F-18C Late can carry
It isnt nearly the maximum amount of AIM-120s the F-18C LATE can carry, not the early one, early one should carry 6 too like other aircraft and should be moved to 13.3
AIM-7s are not AIM-120s
What do you mean? Of course they are not
Why not move the hornet to 13.7 and keep the 13.7s same?
Then why did you say that it had AIM-120s?
I said that the SU-30MKK had AMRAAMs not the F/A-18
