F18 not getting what it should be getting

Is it just me or is the f18 not recieving NCTR however the out dated f15 is, I don’t think this is fair as the f18 is top tier. Another point is the lack of countermeaures in the f18 c late, it could really do with some secondary countermeaures. I’m not just saying this, there are plenty of sources indicating this. Unless we have to wait another patch for the f18E which would recieve these features. However currently I think the f18 is a bit disappointing for such a highly anticipated aircraft

Most likely not getting them until MLU 2 arrives. Maybe if the US begged gaijin hard enough they’ll add them shrug

The only reason the F-15 has its 104-0 KDR is because it had NCTR. It deserves to have it. And the modern F/A-18Cs will get it. The F/A-18 is also getting more ~50% CMs.

Don’t worry. The Top Gun Maverick jet might not be everything you had hoped and dreamed for, but it’ll still be somewhat solid.

Oh no. Xd

They most likely will add these with the F18E and probably they’ll add some AGM’s so we can finally say goodbye to that disgusting pathetic AGM-65 after a gazillion years of having it ingame and no good AGM being added

At least your reports get a reply.

Not mine

We the same ig

Strange, seems two reports were taken care of in a contradictory way.

Then, will USN/USMC F/A-18 get BOL but Finnish F-18C get rejected to get BOL because they need to keep the ‘uniqueness’ between F-18C and F/A-18C MLU-2?

Sounds like Worst case scenario to me. :|

Forwarded as a suggestion. Again if gaijin wanted it added they would be here and its unlikely they will add them given their stigmatism towards the Fin F-18 im just saying dont get your hopes up

Tbf between the two bug reports only the US tested them all bug reports use Finnish MLU 2 and RAAF F-18 documents to support the US getting BOL. It makes more sense for gaijin to wait for later models to add BOL to.

Then we can imagine that things will be similar to JAS39A vs exported JAS39C when BOLs are being added to the Hornet. maybe?

  • US F/A-18 variants can unlock them via a new modification
    (Just like unlocking Darter when JAS39C SAAF got Darter)
  • But Finnish guys will need to grind a whole new jet named F/A-18C MLU-2 from the ground.
    (Just like the new addition of JAS39C on SWE TT)

unless F/A-18E/F comes out with 18C MLU-2.

Probably. But i feel gaijin will just add BOL to F18E and skip the C, its unlikely they would add them to the current C since they want them to stay 14.0

super hornet is a different plane
also real top gun Maverick jet is F-14

No offence, but isn’t Hornet showed a lot much more than Tomcat in that movie?

Spoiler

And that last frag which saved mav from Su-57 was delievered by Hornet too.

upgrades are likley being saved for later F18 additions when top tier is more spread out, plus it means WT has more content to add, they are running out of options for additions

i see
