Why Is the Early F/A-18 Fighting 13.7s?

arguably that plane should down to 13.7 even though it has the same fm, radar as other 14.0 F/A-18C late

I am using my brain and I’m not embarrassed at all as I can literally see the pattern as why they added 13.3 arh aircraft and why their not at 13.7 with the rest of the 13.7 arh aircraft

Yeah money is why the su-30 prems aren’t higher

No you miss understood the F3 late is at 13.3 because it has a weaker fm compared to it counterparts of aircraft with fox 3 at 13.7 so it’s why it’s at 13.3 same as any other aircraft at 13.3 with arh missiles well it also doesn’t depend on fm but also radar and armament the aircraft carry btw this is just what I see

Sorry for the ambiguous comment.
What I meant was arguing bout MLU2, BOL, and F-18C was…

Not ‘Why F/A-18C Late cannot get BOL’
But ‘If I remember correctly, I think I saw discussions about why F/A-18C MLU2 is the only one which goy BOL, while there are nearly none of the discussions about inferior older Finnish F-18C, feels like those lads cherrypick the better variants when they want to get buff on their vehicles’

Just like how the Swiss F/A-18C has tons of complaints from the US, while the Canadian CF-188A has almost been forgotten, and nearly every complaint ignores its existence.

Again, thanks for the kind explanation about Finnish hornets as usual.

can we just agree that there’s too many hornets in the game and none of them are particularly well thought out

Oh there’s only 2 big Finnish discussions 1 made by me and the other by a friend. That’s where most of the info for BOL and different model hornets came from as Smin was just kinda there for both

Of course the Finnish players had no say in the matter and we essentially are still screwed over but whatever

give it 2 amraams and 4 9m and put it 13.0-13.3 (or just keep it the same br and change nothing?)

Dude I simply commented that the IF the f/a-18C early gets aim120 it would be similar to the f16ADF getting AMRAAMs

jesus no. why do you people insist on ruining premium hornets.

how you feel not reading what i said in brackets

How would you have felt if you hadn’t eaten breakfast? Im clearly reactig to the part where you suggest such stupid change.

Yeah, it is quite funny that F-18C remains extra months of neglect

Because of ‘Slightly better FM which can compensate(not) the HMD difference

While Best Legacy Hornet owners constantly complains about their F/A-18C early.

If F-18C needs to remain 14.0 even though without
-HMD
-AIM-120C5
because of tiny slightly better FM

i really cannot get why F/A-18C Early with 120A needs to be 13.3BR.

F/A-18C with 6x 120A sounds 13.7, and F/A-18C with 10x 120A sounds 14.0…

it would be the best thing to do if they did change it, i dont want them to

why would it be the best thing if gaijin decides to change it? the strength of the remium hornets comes from combination of their sensors and 6x 7Ps, 9Ms would do little to help them (and 9Ms alone would make it BR raise to 13.0) and 2x AMRAAMs would be actively harmfull to their performance as it would raise their BR disproportionatelly to overall utility it would bring.

400kg is the difference, unfortunately that minute difference doesn’t nearly add up for the plentiful other far greater differences

other than changing nothing which is the best option the only other loadout change i could think of is 4 amraams 2 9ms and it goes 13.3 but then it fights eurofighters

Yet your forgetting the su30mkk/mk2 that have like what 10 missiles and f16adf with 6 aim120 so as the way things are right now I don’t see why the f/a18C early can’t get 6x AMRAAMs and 2 9m till decompression happens
