Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet - Technical Data and Discussion

this is what I ultimately fear. Every weapon the US exclusively operates will go to other nations. And nations that make domestic options will only be exclusive towards them.

Do we know what Block is being added for sure yet? Cause if not they may add both or not even add the Block II yet.

The leak list were almost perfectly dead on to an absurd level that I actually trust the claim of block 2 plus it would suck to get a non AESA super hornet at 14.3

Ya I thought it would make sense to add the block II as well. We’ll see on the dev soon.

Yep

there are a TON of us weapons not exported, they just arent in the game

There is no point getting the Block I over Block II.
Maybe get both because why not.
But if you need an end of the naval fighter line 4,5 gen , that’s block II for now. AESA , expanded armament
(can use whatever we have in game so far and can add more modern in the future) .

And everyone is…
Kuwait and Australia.
Practically they can give it to UK in other words…and that’s that.

tbh i cant be hyped for any us additions, whats the point of a new aircraft if all it gets is the same giga nerfed fox 3s? like there is nothing going for us air at this point.

F/A-18E uses 4 AIM-174B and 4 AIM-120D 2 AIM-9X


F/A-18E tested Brimstone

No SLAM. Is its existing marketing lies for Gaijin or what?

You guys think the new super hornet will be any good at 14.3

I bet it will be decent… Another jet with lame aim9m and 120c 😅

Probably mid at best, possibly mediocre, as it doesn’t really fix any of the things that made the C hornet mid before.

12 sidewinders kinda based, the lion does not concern himself with flares ahh loadout

9ms flare resistance kinda ass tho

Of course they gave it a peacetime camouflage too

Pretty lame jet. Has nothing that would make it worth playing other than 14 missiles and an AESA radar

I really dislike the fact that most of the cool A/G weaponry is missing.

Also missing IRST pod.

I wish we received anti radiation missiles this update as well.

The following would be cool to have and useful to combat sam systems:

ADM-141C TALD and ALE-50 Towed Decoys

Does anybody know how the super hornet is performing in the dev server, fm wise? I’ve heard some okay things about it in terms of duels (still god awful in arb tho)
