I think the Puma/Puma VJTF, Type 10/TKX and TOR/HQ17 didn’t get that memo.
Just saying, there is a regular PUMA, and it foldered with spiked PUMA, and there is nothing after them. They are folded, because devs understand, its awful to reserch the same vehicle for 350k RP, the only difference of which are ATGMs
- To say they’re too different doen’t make sense. The primary differences of the F-18C and F-18C MLU 2 are BOLs, AMRAAM C-5s, HMS, JDAMs
- JDAMs are so useless, what are you gonna do? Bomb bases? The only way to hit a target with it in GRB is if they remain stationary, and considering not many tanks do that, you probably won’t get kills. It doesn’t even have a targeting pod.
- HMS should be for all 14.0 aircraft; it’s a pain to play 14.0 without it
- The AMRAAM C-5s had 180km range in dev, but that has been nerfed
- Non-similar planes have been foldered, MiG-19, MiG-21. Two completely different airframes.
- End-of-line vehicles aren’t foldered
- PUMA and PUMA VJTF. TKX and Type 10
I have grinded the Finnish Hornet and I am actively using it, simply put, it’s a pain. You can’t keep up with the fast-paced environment without HMS for quick targeting. People can get missiles off faster than you in close quarters. In conclusion, no one wants to grind 420k RP and pay 1,400,000 SL for a plane that’s the same, but with 2 whole useful differences (HMS, BOL).
(This is my personal opinion and a summary of what I read which I agree with.)
Sorry if this is confusing to read, I used the wrong markdowns for the last points. I mean to say that End-of-line vehicles can be foldered.
I believe the F18 without a HMD is inadequate for a 14.0 BR, so versions lacking HMD should be lowered to 13.7.
tbh if gaijing wanted they could give the mlu 2 the AGM-154C JSOW IR, IOG, GNSS guided glide bomb,
but if they don’t do that we have to wait until they add the JASSM AGM-158.
Finnish Air Force didn’t buy the maverics and that’s why we donj’t get them to the mlu2
Let bro cook, right onto the point
Made entirely irrelevant by gaijins own statement of if the aircraft can carry them they can get them.
The real reason they didn’t get better CAS is because gaijin made it the only model to have BOL. Its a trade off. Worse CAS for more countermeasures.
