I was kinda hoping for the false cockpit as the pre-order skin, but alas.

I wonder how often Gaijin has to replace switches for CTRL, “C” and “V” on their office machines.

Like those things are only rated for a few million actuations.

another 12.7 hornet premium… thats 3 now gaijin? all basically identical. No B version of the hornet either, thats 10 single seat hornet airframes ingame now and 0 tandem seat ones… at least make the copy paste a different model

Aussie F/A-18F when you add the super hornets?

So the AIM-7P’s are behind a paywall again, wonderful. I’m very disappointed.

the real question is when AGM-84 Harpoon

we still yet to wait on better SEAD for that

14.0 F-18 wasnt needed at all, but the 12.7 one does bodge a small hole. but im just hoping this wont mean that the F3, F3 Late, GR4, GR7 and FA2 wont be abandonned by the devs. Got a lot of outstanding reports for them. Some quite old

Would you really use AIM-7P’s (unless stock grinding) over AIM-120’s at that BR?

This is the most useful the Hornet has ever been. The perfect mix of mid FM and easy to copy paste premium slop for every nation.

Nah… need ALARM :P

Am I the only one who likes the Hornet FM?

Being able to pull hard at any speed and follow terrain features (while multipathing) is awesome.

I’m talking 12.7 to 13 BR range here, 14.0 is more complicated seeing what the competition is

Seriously y’all… you really went and put likely the ONLY CF-188 coming to War Thunder behind a $109CA paywall… that’s genuinely so many levels of disappointing, I genuinely’ve waited YEARS to get to own and use one in War Thunder, there’s no way I can afford $109 on a plane that doesn’t even have a Canadian lineup to go with it as Germany has our 2A4M… I genuinely just can’t get over how disappointing this is.

Im interested in trying it out eventually. The way people have spoken about them previously, youd think the F-18s were weaker than the Tonkas (though I have gotten plenty of kills against them in the Tonka). Also an IOG SARH at long last will be interesting.

but not gunna be putting much effort into grinding either of them.

I don’t mean to brag or be elitist, but I think we are both above average air players.

Meanwhile the playerbase of premium F/A-18 is usually beginners or people with a farming mindset.

That puts us in a good position to destroy premium F/A-18, even if our vehicle is not ideal.

This is true… i see way too many try and defend against a high alt SARH by flaring and flying low
