F18 not getting what it should be getting

When do you think the f18E will be added in your opinion.

Most likely next patch, seems unlikely to not add the strike hornet after the air superiority model.

Gives my F15E something to grind

bro wdym f18e (super hornet) is “strike” version of f18c (hornet). they are not like f15e strike eagle and f15c eagle. f18e is just the super version of the hornet

F18E has worst TWR than the C and while it has better engines its bigger than a standard C and has overall worse performance than that of the C. So the C is a better A2A for the time. 2 more A2A hardpoints helps it considering how heavy it is. You can dislike my comment but thats just how it is.

Given you say its superior ill assume you just mean because its has 2 missiles considering late models C’s have been equipped with an AESA radar which again makes them still better than the E.

Where do you think f18E will go?

Depends on gaijin and the model early F18E is closer to F18C late but newer super hornets are far more impressive. Realistically id want it on the naval line up its up to gaijin to decide if they want the F18E to perform the CAS role as its main function.

If it wasn’t implemented into the naval line would it be more likely bomber or strike

Eh, depends on gaijin, assuming the snail continues to ignore adding new AGMs to the F18C i feel they’ll want the F18E as the naval strike fighter. Again all depends on the loadout the snail graces us with.

i don’t

i always considered the f18C better for A2A in WT meta

My bad misread you saying super thats on me. Still given current context of gaijin reluctantcy to add the full F-18C A2G loadout i wouldn’t be suprised if they add the E as the A2G hornet.

If you really care about BOL why. Not just ask Smin if BOL is planned for the US F/A-18C Late?

To be honest mate, I don’t know how to talk to smin.

@Smin1080p_WT is there plans for secondary countermeaures to come to the US f18c late. I’m asking this because there was a bug report that has been accepted asking a similar thing. If not on the F18c can we expect them on the F18E in the near/far future.

Thats basically it. Just ping him ask your question and hope he replies. If nothing send him a DM. Be polite and again hope he responds.

Currently no, but it’s always possible as a suggestion.

Thank you

If I wanted to get the f18 c late in the US would I have to have both f14s or just one, as they are getting grouped together.

Well, the F-15 targets outdated MiG 19s and MiG 21s in the Middle East and calls it a victory, meanwhile when they have been shot down, they call it a training accident.

Why exactly is it not planned? Aside from the bug report on the BOL for the F-18s, the forum suggestion on the US F-18 was also filled with sources stating it at least tested them?

And what about the F-15C that is still missing BOL that it actually used in service, report on first dev server when it was added? Is this the same intentional limiting of the F-15’s capabilities like the F-18?
