Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet: Pulling Beyond Limit


AGM179 JAGM has been tested and launched on F/A18E. Thus, it maybe a good option for F18E’s armaments

Seems like it’s already planned for the F-18E, unfortunately not for the F-18C for some reason

Theres also another option besides the Block 3 Super Hornet… The Advanced Super Hornet Prototypes.

It fixed what is probably the BIGGEST issue the jet, the terrible performace; by increaseing the thust 8 thousand pounds total. As well as adding other features like an integradeted IRST and enclosed weapons bays. It came in both single seat and two seat configurations but the single seat is just cooler.

Note the single seat prototype had in internal irst mounted and the twin seat jet had an internal targeting pod mounted.

The Advanced Super Hornet is also known as the F/A-18XT

Damn, it can even carry 4x AIM-120s in the weapon pod, so a total of 18 missiles?

Bro, I hope the navy has a change of mind and purchases these.

Gentlemen, I think this is not an adequate place for the real-life jet comparison.

I also think we should avoid direct comparisons between the F-14 and the F/A-18E/F, both fighters have their own areas that need to be respected.

My last comment will be that someone with the time and know how should make a suggestions post about the F/A-18E Advanced Super Hornet prototype. 👍🏼

I agree. F/A-18E Advanced Super Hornet is also one of the coolest jets, so I’d like to see the suggestions.

This section is only about vehicle suggestions, so it’s not an proper place to discuss things that aren’t directly related to the game. It’s also not recommended because it can interfere with other discussions about the suggestion itself.

If anyone wants to continue the discussion about Tomcat and Rhino, please use the Machinery of War Discussion instead of this topic.

You already have been asked kindly to stop this. Now I ask again before it could have consequences.

Some more Advanced SH and Block 3+ renders.

Block 3+ offered to export customers retained the CFTs and the improved engines but eliminated the internal IRST, MAWS, and enclosed weapons pod.
