I’m just saying that that is what he said. I followed it up with that having no meaning to me since I just mash the elevator buttons because I am an ape that barely knows a 2 circle from a 1 circle.
Super hornets while being slower have a much smaller RCS and a boat load of new and far superior systems. Speed really doesn’t matter as much as people think it does.
7.5g is also specific to the USN only.
The hornet is capable of pulling more Gs than that very comfortably.

Don’t do this. Now I am hoping for a C model hornet even more for this update & for Germany
The static load test model was able to withstand a load of more than 11 g.
It’s also worth considering that the F/A-18 has the highest turn rate at relatively low speeds.

what qualifies as “relatively low speed” for a Hornet? 300kmh? 400? 500?
depends on loadouts
but its like a 10-15% less than F-14 for example
but thats on deck level
Makes sense. We’ll see what they do once we, eventually, get a hornet in game
Gib me my Bol pods on everything
Here we go folks… Fingers crossed

Do you guys know which modification / block the Swiss Air Force has/had?
AFAIK F/A-18C with -402s but without A2G ordnance.
what does -402s mean?
I think it is the F404-GE-402 engine.

Swiss Air Force updated their F/A-18Cs with A2G ordnance later in life, but I would not expect that to come immediately on release.
They did not. They have thought about it multiple times and decided against it on cost reasons.
The Finns have though.
The only “A2G” upgrade it has recieved is an ATFLIR pod, that it recieved to aid in its A2A mission.

Interesting, so that means the F/A-18C added for them to tide them over for the inevitable EF2K won’t actually fill the “CAS gap” the Germany mains complain about.
How typical, for gaijin. Placate the ignorant masses with an addition that doesn’t even need to be added. Not as if Germany is literally first in line to get A2A spec EF2K variants in Dec update, filling their top BR fighter slot with an aircraft they had something to do with.
