If they add a Malaysian one, it’ll be a twin-seater F/A-18D since Malaysia don’t currently operate any single-seat Hornets. As such, it would be a unique model at least, rather than 100% copy-paste
IIRC they did plan to obtain some of Kuwait’s retiring F/A-18s, which was likely to include some F/A-18Cs. But the deal was cancelled a few months ago.
Yeah the Marines should’ve gotten a heavily modified naval JSF and the USAF should’ve gotten something that was just better
True, and would be a good opportunity to add a twin seater hornet since they won’t add them to trees that have the single seaters
Could add MLU 1 to Finland as a two seater
That would be a premium knowing Gaijin
Yes, I know the Hornet isn’t very fast near the ground. But that doesn’t change the fact that a fully loaded F-16I Sufa should be faster; it should be subsonic near the ground with that kind of payload and drag. I’ve tried it in both the DCS and Falcon BMS, and the F-16 can’t fly 1,400+ km/h with a drop tanks and bombs, let alone with other payloads. In the Falcon BMS, the fully loaded Sufa goes near the ground at about 0.95 mach, compared to the insane 1.1-1.2 mach in the War Thunder.
If you now say that the F-16 in War Thunder is better modeled than in Falcon BMS, I will have no comment on that.
I measured the fuel consumption of both Hornets (F/A-18A and F/A-18C late) and you know what? They have the same consumption, even though the 402 engine has 10% more thrust. Is this realistic?
Well newer engines are often more efficient so yes that’s possible
So the consumption is absolutely identical, gallon for gallon? This is absurd.
That’s another problem
@Flanker_Thunder
Come post that 43.5 Mile long kill shot here. And come say what you think of Americans as well :)

No but like actually do it please
it was so funny
im trying record it with OBS, im kinda bad using replays
ok it wasn’t 70km, but it was very far and the missile already lost a lot of it’s energy (plus, i was outrunning it in the exact moment it was launched to me).
and u saying AMRAAMs are bad.
im pretty sure they actually need another nerf, just like all toptier fox-3s
obviously the worst top tier ARHs need a nerf
Why is bro not notching and trying to run away subsonically
ofc the “worst”
i notched before, didn’t work.
dropped like +50 chaffs at it
the clip literally starts with me notching
Clearly it’s cause your notching technique isn’t pristine. I recommend searching up a tutorial for it in yt
