Tbf it’s like every other week or day we see put X prem hornet to (unrealistic BR) with AIM 120.
All prem hornet nations have those people
One of the Finnish F18s only has Bs and is 14.0.
Even without double racks so 2+6 loadout, it would still be 13.7.
Though Bs are usually better than C5s at the moment
Wouldn’t happen, Smin has stated they won’t give them non double racks so the suggestion is basically just null and void
not issue unique to the hornet. hell, not even issue unique to the swiss premium hornet.
congrats, you made your hornet worse as its sensor suite, its arguably strongest point, is now less special when compared to 13.0 and 13.3 aircraft and weakpoints of its FM are even more apparent.
not to mention all amraam hornets, including the basic finish one, are 14.0 at minimum.
there is TT swiss hornet with amraams.
arguably it would make its BVR capability worse since it simply does not have FM to outrange something like F-15E or EFT slinging those same missiels at much higher speed.
as mentioned, you made your hornet worse, not to mention you now have no platform with usable 7P.
Last thing i would find enjoybale would be trying to fight eurofighter with the same missiles i have, but, once again, much better FM.
Why do people insisting on making the premium hornets worse with such poorly worded arguments that they overlook the fact that there are two other premium hornets that apparently dont suffer from those same issues?

Him saying it’s more enjoyable tells me he’s never played the later hornets lol

Its always the same and for the love of god i cant figure out why lol.
Yes, being uptiered to fight exclusively premium Su30s suck. But thats not hornet exclusive problem.
I guess i will remain the sole appreciator of the 7P.

Yet another post asking for this… This is why every debate or question in this forum ends up doing circles, there’s always someone new who asks the same thing and has to be explained everything all over again
I have only played one (Swiss)
I’m not touching any more, even though I do have the American and Japanese 14.0 ones unlocked
The worst one objectively is the Finnish one without HMD
Funnily enough the best 14.0 F-18 is at the same br
with HMD and BOL iirc
although I can’t find the BOL in the secondary weapons
BOL was added as a base kit once it’s unlocked it’s always equipped on your loadouts, just not shown on the loadouts anymore I guess due to BOL loadout bugs
Also funny enough statshark shows F-18C as the 3rd best Hornet KD wise with the only positive by literally 1.02 KD was the MLU 2

OHHHH, good to know
Sadly, I dont wanna grind 1 year to play that I bought the premium version so I can “enjoy” top toer while also grinding the german tech tree, plus in almost all other nations theres a top tier jet which is exactly the same as the tech tree one and it has fox 3s. Let alone russia
With a premium it will take you less than a year, premiums allow a pretty fast grind. And again, the 14.0 hornet is a worse experience.
You’re rather new to this, you gotta take time to learn how to play the thing. Warthunder takes time to learn and the higher you go in ranks the more complicated the gameplay becomes, it’s normal that you have a hard time at first since you jumped straight at top tier
You skipped learning neccesary energy managment ,map positioning and game flow in slower enviroment of props and early cold war planes and jumped straight to top tier with help of premium. Your highest TT plane is rank 3. Then nothing, then premium swiss hornet.
Now, not only you have to learn energy managment and map positioning but you also have to also learn radar, radar missiles, IR and IRCCM IR missiles on top of that, all at the same time.
You then proceed to suggest adding unneccesary ARHs to perfectly fine premium to bridge this knowledge gap you yourself made.
Entertain me.
Imagine AMRAAMs do get added to the swiss premium hornet. What will happen once you realize these do absolutely nothing to solve that knowledge gap you yourself created by skipping straight to the top tier? Will you ask for AIM-9X as well?

Oh hey, my takes. ;)
1.5 months with a premium account or vehicle at <2 hours of average playtime a day.*
1 month with premium account & vehicle.
I don’t get why they think they will enjoy being up tiered to fight Rafs, EFTs and Su-30SM2s any more then the Premium Su-30s.
people can’t use the search function apparently…
Spoiler
Will the F-18 premiums be getting fox 3s?
Swiss F/A-18C premium underperforming
Give the F18C early Fox 3s
F/A-18C (Early) should get Aim 120s now
Plus one asking for AIM-9Ms just for good measure
(POLL) AIM-9M for F/A-18C Early

7P armed hornets are amazing planes.
There is some elegance to SARH slinging with them.
And, if they werent uptiered to 13.3 so often id say they give new player more than ARH premium, provided the new player wants to learn how to properly utilize their strengths.
With all of the above in mind, I played exactly one ARH Hornet (coincidentally swiss one) and the experience was so…special… that im not going to do it again in the foreseeable future, at least not in context of ARB as now i downgraded it to CAS plane.

This forum, like every forum and discord server of a large community, is doomed to have the same exact conversations repeat themselves because the community is filled with a ton of the same exact people making the exact same mistakes, rejecting the fault on usually the exact same thing and thus asking for the exact same thing. We will never run out of these guys, there’s always one more and they never think someone else asked before

Funnily enough I wouldnt call this one out as standard “skill issue”. Lets be fair, we all started somewhere.
But.
Hes simply too new to make such balancing suggestions, missing a lot of context and not really thinking it through.
