Fair enough
Wiki is highly detailed about CF-18 upgrades so just look there

Imo it should go like this:
-
CF-18 early (AIM-9L, AIM-7M) - 12.0
-
CF-18 IMP (AIM-9M, AIM-120B) - 12.7+
-
CF-18 HEP (AIM-9X, AIM-120C/D) - 13.7+

Wouldn’t it be better to switch F/A-18F with CF-188 HEP? Let’s say we limit them like this:
-
CF-188 HEP with AIM-9X and AIM-120C-1 (or C-5) at 13.7
-
F/A-18F with ASRAAM and AIM-120C-5 (or D) at 14.0

HEP from what I read was a last-ditch effort to keep the thing alive until its replacement.
Which we now know is the F-35. (Well it will be CF-35 in Canadian service but weather it would be the CF-35 variant proposed is unknown)
Here we go the True Final Tree (for now)

will do
looking good
With all the Commonwealth in UK tress stuff here are some useful resources for Canada’s stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/@polyus_studios (A YouTube channel that talks about mostly Canadian military air)
https://caspir.warplane.com/aircanadian/column/icount/icountorder/desc/ (A list of every Canadian air vehicle used. extremely detailed down to the pilot at times) (extra useful in building the Canadian Air tree)

My thought process
CF-188 and RAAF F/A-18A is equal in the early versions.
CF-188 and RAAF F/A-18 were upgraded to F/A-18C standards.
They can be interchangeable.
RCAF never used the F/A-18E/F.
RAAF F/A-18C/D/E/F used ASRAAM.
CF-188 early (9L/7M)
CF-188 IMP II (9M/120B)
CF-188 HEP (9X/120C-1)
RAAF F/A-18D (132/120C-1)
RAAF F/A-18F (132/120D)

The Australians only used the F/A-18 C, D and F variants so no single seater super hornet can come to them

Huh. I didn’t realise that. Welp. So then should both of the Australian hornets be twin seat versions? It would make them unique
Would be nice. Single seat could always be squadron
its fine as is, theres no point putting a worse version of an aircraft that would essentially sit at the same BR when there is a better option
Australia bought A and B variant Hornets as well, ignoring upgrades that brought them up to C level specification.

still no E variant tho
HUG Phase 2.4 = HEP from what I have seen. The only difference being CF-188 uses Sniper and F/A-18 uses Litening.
Yeah, just twin seater Fs and G spec Growlers.
