lmao REAL
its not really a benefit as the things gonna be DOA and make the grind for F35s worse. at least its something with more hardpoints i guess

Better engines, AESA radar, more weapons, larger lift surfaces, and improved avionics and people still complaining it’s not enough of an upgrade War Thunder players really are a special breed huh

WW average bait post
sure, but weight increase and weight more than an F-15
hardly an upgrade at all, sure its nice, but on this platform might as well use the F-15E
ok
does it help? Short answer, no
literally only the radar

I’m assuming Britain is getting Aussie Super Hornet, then

Maybe. But it’ll only be the F or the G. We don’t operate the single seater.
As happy as I am that the super hornets coming. Right now it’s like having a Ferrari with a Toyota engine. They can’t compete with 50g pull r77-1s and r73s that’ll literally do a 180 to hit you.
when compared to other planes at same BR it’s worse in every aspect…
Now only if one of these could accidentally fall off of an aircraft carrier and into my hanger.

Oh my god, is the super hornet that old?
am I correct to say the Block II’s never used 9L’s?
gameplays wise its the exact same as every other hornet, but this one is sitting at 14.3 right next to the new monster (Su30SM2) and other meta like Rafale and EF2000. It’s missing a lot of weapons and get the exact same missile kit as the previous hornet while getting no major flight performance boost. AESA radar is not a reason to be higher BR.
No matter how I look at it, its a DOA.
Gaijin keep putting US plane so high in BR just because of a minor radar upgrade lol (im looking at you F15C GE), other plane with radar upgrade deserved the BR increase tho cuz they can lock target while going sideways to the target which is insane.
I think the new monster is the Gripen E. We are all cooked if they give it MICAs.
if it gets MICA then it wont stay at 12.7, its gona go straight up to ~13.7
I dont know much about the current grippen E but i dont think its gona be that much better than the Grippen that comes before it
12.7, thats way too low, even with the AIM-120.
It does get the same radar as the Su-30 (not the same model, but the same capabilities).
dang its at 12.7 with aim120 right now? yea thats stupidly low. With aim120 it should be 13.3-13.7
12.7 in GRB . 13.7 in ARB
