Alternatively, we can decompress the range and not give a 12.7 such atrocious additions

I don’t think this makes a difference at all. Both aircraft are limited by the AIM-7’s range, not the radar.
I’d have to test fly the Swiss one to see the difference myself, but first I’ll say that the US F/A-18C early already has very good acceleration and outstanding maneuverability. I will take a guess and say the difference between the two is not that big.
Even if the two are not exactly identical, we’re still dealing with a flawed BR system that unfortunately is very compressed. The reality is that some vehicles aren’t different enough to justify separating their BRs
u dont need to wait patch to test drive it, its the same radar/engine and perfomance of USA F18C late, better in every way if u already unblock it and test it. and yes diff its very big. its kinda a f16 perfomance.
much better climb rate/ energy perfomance.
Germany doesnt suffer for once and americans ask for aim9x on a 12.7 hornet, and they are getting aim120c 1 patch after r77-1.
Gluttons who would not be satisfied with the riches of the kingdom of heaven.

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
