USA has just received its second 14.3, the Super Hornet, a plane to “compete” with the likes of the brand new Eurofighters with AESA radars, the Rafale, and is apparentlybetter the the JAS39E.
Personally, this is one of my favorite modern aircraft, and I’ve been highly anticipating it, but wow… Gaijin somehow managed to kill so much hype for the Super Hornet with this trash implementation.
No new weapons at all, worse performance than its competitors, and no real advantage in avionics.

What could Gaijin possibly be cooking here?

And why do you think an F18 should compete with the others?

Now bear with me.

Dont you think it is entirely possible these aircrafts, superhornet included, were added now and not foldered so that every country could have Aircraft capable of carrying new gen IRs once they release for everyone at once and so that you can have the aircraft researched and preapred already?

Gaijin can only provide new missiles to the US Air Force when they are completely useless.

Since the F-18E cannot compete with all civilians, this means that it should be placed at a lower BR.

Them putting the Grippen E at 14.0 while the super hornet is 14.3 is pretty much a crime

How will the Super Hornet stack up then?

It will still be a superhornet but now more deadly in dogfight.
