Those Su-30s are stupidly under BRed at the moment, they should be 13.7.
F-18 with AMRAAM are already at 14.0, unless they had notably weaknesses over them, Id be hard pressed to say it would be any lower than 13.7

But the F-18 late has AIM-120C-5 though
F-18C Late has AIM-120C-5
At this current moment in time. The C5s are only really a sidegrade, quite a few opt to stick with the A/Bs despite having access to C5s as the A/Bs perform slightly better at shorter ranges, ranges most common for WT.
Just because it gets A/Bs instead of C5s shouldnt warrant it to be any lower than 13.7 at most
Finnish F-18C has no HMD, only has AIM-120A/B and is 14.0.
So yeah, if the F/A-18C early gets AIM-120A/B it goes to 14.0, maaaybe 13.7 is generous due to premium bias.

Forgot/didnt know it didnt have C5s
Or with a reduced weapon count. no dual rack AMRAAM would work

Why does that matter?
C-5 Is very powerful compared to AIM-120A
No, not even close, I don’t even think you even know what you’re talking about.

C5s, under certain conditions, is better. Usually when you can get them up high and fast.
But at all other times, A/B are better or equal and more often than not, these conditions are what you’ll find in WT

AKA Space larping at 11km altitude.
Doesnt need to be that high. I cruise at about 25k ft (7ish km) in the Typhoon at Mach 1.5+ and have quite good success with the C5s, but I do heavily favour staying out of WVR
That isn’t cruising…
The dude you replied to is a level 20 account, the F/A-18C (early) is their highest plane by a long shot.
So you are definitely right that they have very little clue what they are talking about.

Yes please.
Please give AIM-120A and AIM-9M to F/A-18C Early.
I want to see tons of complaining posts all over the forum,
saying “F/A-18C Early(USN) shouldn’t be 14.0BR! It is another russian bias!”
whisles to pretend innocence
Oh, don’t forget about excluding F/A-18C(Swiss) and CF-188A…

You have no experience with either, dont you?
Oh, right lol.
No wonder he calls C5s “powerful”.

As much as some people are advocating for the players stats to be hiden, here we have a clear exapmle why they should be public.
The author is lvl 20 with highest (resercherd) vechicle P-51 D-5 and 3 high tier premiums - F/A 18C Early; Leo 2A4M and A-10A…
I don’t point those facts to mock/shame @hamburgercheese1 . His proposal is understandable, with such lack of experience and understanding how missiles, balancing etc.
