Yeah, there is a few places theyve done that and it is annoying. Kinda wish they were far far more willing to rename vehicles than they are.
A similar case that annoys me is the insistance on keeping the Jaguar GR1A as the GR1A and not GR1B even though its 99% of the way there already
Otherwise, I don’t really see the point of this discussion if neither historical accuracy nor balance can be used as a reason to change the aircraft. If the current loadout is considered balanced, but the historically correct AIM-120B loadout is rejected because it would require a higher BR, then there is effectively no direction in which the aircraft can be changed.
Because the plane itself is fine where it is
The plane doesn’t need to be fixed
The matchmaker does
Stop asking for “solutions” that don’t solve the actual problem
Yeah, this:
The Premium F-18s are actually under BRed as it is, basically nothing at 12.0 should be facing them but routinely do. The problem with it struggling in uptiers can be fixed by decompressing the entire game (apparently coming at some point). So what the F-18 faces in an uptier is more reasonable, but likewise what it faces in a downtier is also more reasonable.
Which gaijin will most likely fuck up because well, it’s gaijin
Gaijin is absolutely terrible when it comes to balancing aircraft
See: Su-30MK2/MKK vs IRIAF
of course. I have 0 expectation it will do much or be done right, but even just increasing the BR of some at 12.3 and everything at 12.7+ up by 0.3 and then everything at the now 13.7+ up by another 0.3 would be the absolute bare minimum
We need more than the bare minimum atp
but but the queue times. Players might have to wait more than a milisecond to get into a match!
:P
Oh noo
Oh the horror
More like 14.0
Depends on dual mounts or not, you could argue 13.3 without dual mounts but gaijin has already stated that’s not gonna happen if it can use the dual mounts it will get the dual mounts.
I rather get better ground ordinance for NE…Missiles are perfectly fine on it
Like what?
I dont know maybe Anti-radiation misslies.
Can it use them? You’ll have to prove that the early models could
Huh? I was just about to say give it some anti ship missiles also. Why should I prove anything, just give it, who cares. I wanna have fun
The Swiss Hornet is already lowkey lucky to get any A2G munitions to begin with.
So yes, you gotta prove it. Or grind the US ones.
Because gaijin is gonna need proof a majority of the time, fun isn’t really the main focus of the snail
Other early F/A-18C can carry the HARM, considering theSwiss one can carry also all other A/G ordnance we don’t even have IRL, I see not why that particulaar weapon should be excluded…
Then make a bug report that the vehicle is lacking the weapon with a manual/primary doc showing that the hornet is compatible and see what the devs say
