I’m not to miffed about it honestly. US has the more capable AV-8B plus in the TT anyhow
F-14D as a squadron, calling it
Sure, but where are the strike premiums for Britain, France, Sweden and Israel?
(Would have mentioned japan as well, but you know how it is for them)
At a more painful BR
F-16’s seems more likely : ) lol
Hmmmmm… I’d prefer it to be TT, but if it’s between that or not getting it at all, I’m taking the squadron vehicle.
I get good results with it, you just gotta play it in a certain way
The stock grind is not good though
I dont subscribe to the opinion that every nation “needs” a premium jet that is similar to or equal to what another nation gets
I personally think the F-14D isn’t unique enough to warrant its addition previous to the F-18, not saying it shouldn’t be added, but I dont think we would benefit from getting it before an F-18
So, more strike premiums for the US and USSR then?
Can’t wait for the inevitable premium F-111, A-7, Su-22 and Su-24
Usually the larger tech trees get more support in premiums, especially if they are popular
As it always has been the case, US, USSR, and Germany have always been the more popular nations to grind. Gaijin is simply offering supply to the demand

I mean we are overdue for the F/A-18A.
To the point that I think if we do get it’ll be the F/A-18A+ variant instead of the base version.
Base F/A-18A as a premium, F/A-18A+ as a SQV and the F/A-18C as a TT plane lol

With Smin teasing about more Commonwealth thing (Not Indian) I think he could be teasing a Hornet for us.

We would not benefit from an f-18A, we’re so past that era
I agree 18A+ would be ideal
I mainly desire it for it’s digital all-aspect radar, cockpit with MFDs/HUD for SIM, IRST, AIM-9M, and highly probable pairing with AIM-120s
And for it’s iconic legacy as the last and most capable of the Tomcat lineage.

Given Gaijin’s past in December the US is definitely getting an F/A-18A+ and everyone else is getting an F/A-18C or equivalent

F-18 has all that and more my fren
Sad as the F/A-18A was my most wanted variant. Over the fancy middle ones.
Yes, but on a way slower and more draggy airframe :)
I love the Hornet, but the Tomcat has a special place in my heart
