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

They should add an advanced eagle like the EX with the Su-35

If I could be greedy for once, I’d put both of them in EX and 18E/F Blk III

Number of missiles doesn’t make the plane better at top tier especially when this hornet is even heavier.

they go by fuel percentage for this, and since the SH can carry much more fuel its naturally going to worse going off fuel percentage if you evened out the weights the C and E are pretty even but the E is even better low speed due to added lift which is even true using the same 60% fuel weight

Looks like it is coming this December update.

ITS TIMEEEEEEEEE

Just as the Su-30SM implemented Russian Knights camouflage, I hope to see Blue Angels camouflage implemented on the F/A-18E.

See any special things like the IRST fuel tank or any A2G?

Can’t see much. Can just see:


Loads of AMRAAMs.


That’s the most clear frame with the drop tank in but it looks like just the standard tank.


For A-G all I can see is what looks like Mavericks and ATFLIR.

Hopefully it gets SLAM or SLAM-ER, and better TGP/IRST options

It could possibly get LITENING but that has only recently finished testing.

Chances are they will stick to ATFLIR since it’s been proven on the platform.

Btw did you catch the number on the carrier? I really hope we still don’t have to use the forrestal

No the angle isn’t right to be able to see it.

But from the looks of it I reckon it is the Forrestal

Not really

why ? the F14B is genuine suffering at its BR right now ?
super hornets gonna be DOA due to current meta F14D would be atleast very good at its br
mind you F14D has well over 1000 votes on its suggestion too more the superhornet

Oh lord he comin (slowly)

very slowly .97 twr OOf
