You tell me? ARH? Didn’t know the best 13.0 (Su-27/Su-33) had ARH!
Hornet has better radar missiles with a competitive FM and is comparable to the F-16A (France) or F-15A/J in capability once everything is accounted for
Nope, but one of the two
I"ll give you a hint, the Early has neither ARH not IRCCM, two things seen as ehats pretty much required for 13.0s to have
It should simply receive 9Ms, if you use this forum at all you should have seen me also advocate for F-14A/B to receive IR missile upgrades that reflect 12.7/13.0 as BRs
Then why didn’t you just say that?
I honestly don’t see why everyone is tweaking out over the F-18s being low in BR, they’re effectively just somewhat more maneuverable Phantoms.
I’d also like to mention two things I said
I’m not against a BR change, its just stuck in a spot where it has nowhere to go, and Gaijin chose the moneymaking route

I forget it doesn’t already have them pretty often
It’s even worse compression added to what we had, and you’re also massively underrating the Hornet.
Somewhat was the wrong word there and
Someone doesn’t play that BR range
Somebody needs to stop guessing wrong
Brother, if 9Ls are rendering closer to 9Ms performance-wise, theres a slight issue there
Honestly, in my personal opinion, I’m significantly more worried about Bisons and Mirages than I ever will be of the Early, seeing as how insatiably bad the player is and how little actually know what they’re flying
How do either of those planes factor into the equation? They’re both fine where they are right now. Just give the premium Hornet 9Ms and bump both of them up by .3. Actually a pretty easy fix tbh
You just missed the whole point there. The F/A-18C as it is CURRENTLY sits is in a weird BR point easily explained as 12.85 but seeing as that BR doesn’t exist, it has nowhere to go until something changes, whether through BR decompression or adding 9Ms to the early.
Actually nevermind I’m the one that can’t read lol. I thought I read the whole thing but got caught up halfway having to do some stuff
Oh alright, sorry if I came off rude
adding 9M and 13.0 is the obvious logical place for it to be
I don’t think it would be illogical, I honestly think decompression would work significantly better than just tossing it at 13.0 with 9Ms. Either way Gaijin is gonna toss it there once sales start getting stale
12,7. This is what battles look like in simulation mode when the balance is out.
No one wants to be on the opposite team (including me)
Gaijin doesn’t want to decompress, at least for now. It wants money. The F/A-18C Early is at 12.7, because Gaijin wants to sell it.
The fox-1 Hornets are strong, but it still has weakness.
If you simply don’t want to die, keep distance and run when Hornet is coming to you. Hornets have funny top speed.
If you want to kill it, it’s not easy, but still possible if you’re in a F-16 or something. Hornets have incredible AoA, but this consumes its energy greatly.
Just some suggestions for counter Hornets, making this less painful(maybe?). But at last, I always support decompression, the high level air BR is always shit.
F/A-18A sits at 12.3 sure but consider the opponents his facing at 13.3 because we all cope with uptiers more that downtiers
F/A-18C Early the premium one sits at 12.7 again AIM-7P are worst that R77s and many other missiles at his BR yes have only AIM-7Ps no other option and Ls for IR
F-15s are better overall radar flying characteristic sure you can argue about F-15A but this is not the only jet that sit at wird position this happening with F-16A with have 9Ls only
F/A-18C is mid premium not great competing opponents his facing not to mention 12.7 only because Aim 7P that for me are worst that 7Ms slow missile bad tracking.
No, 12.3 gets massively downtiered often or sees 12.7. Even when it sees 13.0 it’s still piss easy. 13.3 games are EXTREMELY rare. Do not try to lie about matchmaking trends.
Literally you compared your 12.3-12.7 overpowered, overperforming jet with 13.0-13.3s because that was the only way to make it appear fair.
The IRIAF F-14A with AIM-9Ps, a God awful RWR and only 60 CM all whilst having amongst the hottest engines in-game does “well” at 13.0, I see no issue on why the F/A-18 shouldn’t be 13.0 as well.

F18c is fine for its br, however 12.3 is too low for f18a
