F/A-18 Hornet (Legacy): History, Performance & Discussion

yeah bc interest / playercounts for sweden isnt as high as other nations

as every other bug report that got accepted and never acted on, we can only hope/ cope that gaijin is going to fix it sometime in the future after they dont have anymore new planes to add

Well tbf theres only like 10 people who actually played the swedish airtree that didn’t just buy a premium and swap to a different nation immediately because sweden air has nothing to offer unlike literally every other nation lol.

Its literally the one nation i never see at 14.0 or 13.x aside from Di F21 players. And they are few and far between tbf. With how many of them you do see its weird there aren’t more top tier players but i guess if you want a good gripen 3 other nations offer it and more but im going off topic.

ontop off that only 1 of those 10 ppl is actually going to play his viggen in sim where you need the hud
and i think i might have found that one person

NGL kinda like being able to change MFD colors
Would be nice to be able to change the units from imperial to metric as well …

I understand that it’s not realistic, but IRL it would be a simple software change (and of course documentation and training change but that’s irrelevant for WT).

IRL most pilots fly at most a handful of aircraft types over their entire carrier, and usually from a single origin … In WT you fly hundreds of different aircrafts from various origins, so it would be nice to have consistent measurement units in the HUD and MFDs …

iirc a lot of if not most aircraft use feet for altitude and knots for speed even if operated by countrys using metric

the problem my autistic brain has,is that it only changes 1 mfd page and that is the c-scope
and something funny happens when you switch the UI color to black

Spoiler

Feet are gross

Give me metric

@Pheonix_RX01

so true

I mean yeah, but thats how it is irl

Funny, not suprised the only other person to mark they have the same problem with the F-18’s skipped the Finnish hud lmao, typical warthunder playerbase.

Thanks for the Ping btw

I don’t play Sweden

I dont play china or Isreal (yet) still spading all of France, yet i still take some time to look at bug reports and mark them. I figure i want people to buff the nations i play and I’ll eventually play the other vehicles i dont have or even if i never play it id like them to be changed.

I mean, “I have the same issue” sort of represents the priority of the reports. (Not the only factor, but one of the factors)

Obviously I would put more priority on the reports regarding nations that I actually play …
Not saying the Finish F-18 cockpit shouldn’t get its unique attributes, but obviously for me the priority would be the F-18 that I actually can play …

To be fair all it really does is add said change to the void of accepted reports. Where they sit there in Limbo until the snail decides to stop being lazy.

Option to show the historical MFD Radar & RWR interface instead of the generic ones :
