Only with the MLU 2 upgrade
MLU 2 gets ordinance. The oldest Late model F-18C in warthunder is the Finnish as its from 1994 with removed A2G computers and arrestor hook mounts. MLU 2 restored these features with new lightweight computers.

AGM 154

Again MLU 2 not MLU 1 and not prior to MLU 1
Yeah, AFTER the MLU 2 upgrade, which is NOT the one ingame
The best SPAA ingame: Pantsir (Russia)
The best CAS: SU-34 (Soviet-union,Russia)
The best Air-to-Ground missile: KH-38 (Russia)
ERA that eats Mavericks for dinner (Russia)
Autoloader that acts like spall liner: Russia
Crazy how you ignore all this facts and say Muh Most broken AGM is American.
Then give Finland the upgrade. Not that bloody difficult. Oh wait, I forget, Sweden needs to be screwed over. I forget, this game cannot allow any country to outshine America.
Best CAS is not Su-34. If you’re being slaughtered by that thing, it’s just a skill issue. Use a SPAA, it’s not that difficult to beat it.
Best CAS is indeed the Su-34 with the broken KH-38MT
I expected a reply like this from someone like you honestly.
What SPAA?
It’s pretty difficult to defeat it when you get an SPAA like the ADATS
Soon it would be the SU-30SM
+forgot to add that the nation that got the best ground lineup ever is RUSSIA!
This is what finland CURRENTLY operates, which is the F/A18c, because they had the MLU 2 Upgrade done to it
It’s been confirmed to come as seperate vehicle already, in some later update
Most likely around December or next year as it likely will only be added when Aim 120 C-7 and 9X are here so that it can be different from the US C model Late.
AESA and BR would be sufficient difference. No need for such missiles
“It’s been confirmed”
Yeah, when? Gaijin has promised a lot of things, but have not always delivered. They gave American three F-18s with plenty of ordnance, they didn’t have to make up some bollocks about giving Finland the original F-18C. There is no good reason, because who is actually playing the game being like, “it’s a darn shame I cannot play the F-18 with no bombs, like Finland did at the beginning!” Because if they did, you can just tell them to carry a payload without GBUs.
Russia is not that good, just because you are personally bad at the game and don’t know how to one shot the easiest MBT to one shot, that’s on you. Leopards are far better than the T-80 and T-90. Leclerc has a much shorter reload time, as do the Type 10s and Challengers, you get better armour on all Leopards. American tanks are great too.
Unlikely, gaijin has made it clear missiles are the only meaningful difference otherwise we would’ve gotten Gripen C after the December update instead of them saying the were postponing it until it had more differences that were meaningful. So Fox 3 was the only difference at launch…420k rp for 1 missile.
Same A2G as the Gripen A not even the historical C model Radar or anything that made it a C model even now its a A model primarily so your logic of different radar and such is false. And as we currently have seen inferior vehicles can and will sit at the same BR. So F-18 with AESA radar with the same missiles as MLU 2 can sit at the MLU 2’s BR while still using the old AN PG radar.
You have the Tor for China, ItO 90M for France and Sweden, FlaRakRad for Germany. All great SPAAs. Again, not that difficult to point a missile and shoot it at a jet that can hardly turn. The F-16s and F-15s can climb into the stratosphere with ease, that thing can hardly look up without bleeding speed.
Looks at Sweden top tier ground that has remained top 2 for over 4-5 years now.
Yeah they totally always get screwed in every regard.
Ironic coming from the person saying that the F-16C is overpowered, when mavericks are legit some of the easiest missiles in game to shoot down for SPAA.
sweden has been good in air only once with the gripen, early viggen was great for a time but thats it
The air bias existed for 2 months with the Gripen A only to become irrelevant once again. Ground stands strong so air must sufffer
