It’s the same weapons.
The engine difference is extremely marginal in air RB.
It’s already under-BR’d at 12.7 as is too.
The only tangible difference is flare count.
why would python 3 increase BR?
Brother, it’s only 20 m/s more, less than 10% increase
The main strength of all the Hornets is the insane AoA and nose authority, the little extra engine performance isn’t enough to justify a 0.3 gap between the two in the compressed matchmaker. And as I said earlier the radar upgrade makes no functional difference anyway.
The 12.3 BR F/A-18A is already OP enough, and now you suggest the F/A-18C early go join it?
You have to consider the whole picture, there are also people playing 11.3 trying to survive in their checks notes F-4E Phantom, their lives are difficult enough as it is.

This can’t be serious.
If you struggle to do well in them at the Br. They are at you have a very serious skill issue.

u forgot better energy managment (F18c early biggest weakness) and x2 contramessures.
Meanwhile, the F-20 is on that BR…

OK, riddle me this: if the Swiss F/A-18 premium is so good - why do you want the US F/A-18 premium to down in BR instead of the Swiss one going up?
I still don’t think you understand the BR system and how damaging it would be for a capable aircraft like F/A-18C early to go down.

well another viable option, and i understand the Br system.
I just wonder why ‘bad’ US main always makes things ‘worse’.
- Buff american F-18C to 12.3
- gives AIM-9X
- for makes it better than swiss F-18C for germany.
Do you thinks ‘Balanced’ = ‘Americans maintains superiority from 1.0 till 14.0’?

what superiority? rafale is the best, israel has a better F-15E and other trees have f18c late too

Sire, I didn’t tell you that Americans are ‘currently’ maintaining superiority in 14.0. :(
With some extra joke as garnish,
According to the POV of OP, which can be predicted by whining about his F-18C early.
In his theory, Americans should receive both AIM-9X and AIM-120D exclusively because his F-15E is worse than its israel counterparts.
Of course, buffing it down in BR to 13.7 will be followed :/
Sorry if you were offended when you read the original comment. :(
I just were damn too friggin tired about these spammed posts about [buff american vehicles with hilarious solutions.]
Yes. It might be debatable that American jets in this game are quite worse than other Western top-rank jets.
But, solving it with the way of buffing American jets to an unacceptable level shouldn’t happen at all.
Nah man, AIM-9Z are better, trust. And let’s make it 12.3 so that it’s the same BR as the F/A-18A in every single way other than weighing more when loaded for a2a roles. Yeah, I think it should be 12.3, and let’s make the F/A-18A 12.0 because it’s clearly equally as good as the F-4J/S
Starting strong today, that is one of the takes ove read today and its only 6am

you are asking for too much.
USA give country jet
country modify jet for it to be competitive
USA retire same jet for a new one
country keep modifying the jet even more to bring its out full potential and then retire it
Thats how it works

The main important difference is that the Swiss 18C(early) gets 120 countermeasures compared to the US 18C(early)'s 60. Simple solution would be to just give the US 18C(early) 120 as well.
Or an alternative, which would also make a lot of the Swiss people happy, is giving the Swiss 18C(early) AIM-9P-5 and moving it to 13.0. This is a win win for both sides.
My dude Germany hasn’t suffered for a good while lol. They only suffer from bad players just like the other major nations.

How about a player IQ buff?
The USA FA-18 C early is already under BRed, just cuz German mains manage to suck even more than USA ones somehow doesn’t mean it should go down even more!

It’s not really under BR, 12.7 is the limit of what these planes can be without being dead thanks to compression. The only fox 1 slingers that can live at 13.0 have R27ER. Even if you gave them aim9m they are far worse off at 13.0 than 12.7 without them. 14.0 pulls things up hard so its much more than a .3 increase, just like 11.0 sucks atm because most premium spam is 11.7/12.0.

Like you said, that’s compression coupled with the MASSIVE power step of ARH. That doesn’t change that for things at or lower than their BR they are over powered. Yes I agree they can’t go up, when I say they are under BRed I mean they over preform for their BR, not that I think they should be up tiered… but they are better then other planes at their BR like the F-16 ADF.
lmao this is my best of skill issue usamain copium so i save this in my screenshot collection
