F/A-18C needs more long-range AG weapons

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

exactly

Ground sure, it’s great. But air? Oh boy, obviously you never played Sweden. Half decent props, early jets are slow and by the time you reach the battlefield, everyone is gone, everything from 8.0-11.0 is absolute garbage, and your only saviour until the Grippen is the MiG 21bis. The AJ and AJS are probably the worst strike aircraft, because somehow you need to replace your bombs with flares. So you’re giving up at least two pylons (8 bombs, 2 rocket sylos, or two AGMs) for much needed flares (or even cannons), and for whatever reason, the strike aircraft version gets the AIM 9Ls ripoff, and not the actual fighter.

I’ve played Sweden, I know how it works.

half decent props? swedish props are absolute dogshit, j21s are a free kill

But hey, two BF-109s, and that VL thingy. But I can think of a few worse nations for props, Israel for example.

Pre finland it was Trauma inducing, remember ther 20k j29 and the 15k j21a2? repair cost was unhinged

Don’t remind me. I remember playing top tier Sweden back when the highest thing was 10.3, and we had to fight the F4S.
