The AIM-9Ms or and AIM-120As to the F/A-18C Early

From what ive seen, almost exclusively, people who take offense in stats being public are coincidentally people with terrible takes and also incapable of any selfreflection.

Not saying thats the case with OP, but theres a pattern.

I do agree. at its BR in ARB it is common to be uptiered to 13.3 where it competes with Su-30MK and Su-30MKKs, aswell as many Tech Tree aircrafts with R-77s. However I think that It should only carry 4 total AIM-120As.

The Swedish premium, JA-37DI F21, with a BR of 13.0, carries AIM-120s.

Finnish F-18C carries upto 10 Aim-120Bs. Im sure OP only suggested AIM-120As and at most 6 of them

Has a higher KD than the US version so that’s a non issue

Thats 13.0 and on a 3rd gen platform that’s artificially held back as per the devs stating the game engine cannot replicate the correct flight performance.

The difference between the 13.3 AMRAAM slingers and the 13.0 is pretty large.

Especially if we compare premiums specifically the Viggen is nearly an entire below them in terms of performance only beating them out in CM count thanks to BOL.

A) Not 13.3
B) 11.3 airframe
C) ancient RWR

Not comparable to hornet at all. Its not just missiles, but bad players tend to overlook that

Which shows neither OP or you know what you are talking about since ingame, 120A and 120B are identical

Technically 10.3 airframe and 10.3 RWR, only difference is weight and slight increase in engine power.

Aim7P really hits hard, but inly in its BR. I csnt olay it anymore couse of constant uptiers to ARH level

Bro either turn on autocorrect or read before you post.

Im not claiming to be perfect when it comes to my spelling but this is just hard to read.

Sure, point i was going for is that just as any legacy ARH slinger, they get rinsed moment modern airframe merges.

Which wouldnt be problem for hornet, in fact hornet likes his targets close since he can do some funky business

Dude turned 2v1 into 1v1 by shooting down friendly Gripen after rearming and then had the bright idea to let me merge when he was fully loaded

i was never the best on typing on my phone, especially when it is dark!

Sure but its kinda hard to respond properly when i have to bring out rosetta stone first

my bad then

Anyway back to topic at hand i do find the premium hornets fine.

Time for my shameless plug

yeah, I’m not a Airman, i will not read that all

It has “how to” section just fyi

thanks, that did help.

Trust in TRK MEM and learn how to parry as if you were playing Dark Souls lol

And this is 100% why I think the early is good where it is. It’s mean in the merge and slow down low. In the BR where it actually has those fights still.

Its not an overtly inferior platform. You just need to have your head on swivel and set up fights instead of running straight in relying on your missiles to pad your killstreak.
