Oh well i can live with that then but i guess they could atleast give us A2G as compensation for removing it
The current vesion in the dev server is the “F-18C (MLU1)”: wich has HMD
(also it should have aim-9x, but not to rush new missiles since they are not needed).
Gajin will probably add later “F/A-18C (MLU2)” witch will have proper air to ground + aim-120C-7
(There is the original version before first midlife upgrade but I dont think it will be added )
(maybe as premium)
Only if it also receives the new “turn off FCS” button, the jets with this new feature in DEV are currently complete ufos that can fly backwards at will XD
I personally hope for the HMS and IFF update at the very least.
The later upgrades and the ground ordinance i don’t mind coming to a different plane later in the tree.

Did you forget the Typhoon, J-10 and Rafale exist pr something?
before this post I found this post about the Finnish F-18s and as it shows, the C Early version looks very similar to the current one in game and that’s why I think they would add another improved F-18 later.
(I say hoping to be wrong)
It’s still going to out rate anything in a dogfight once you get below around 500mph.
I think it should stay at 14.0 (I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOOOOOO LONG) but it should definitely have hmd and have a2g ordinance
if they add an hmd and a2g weapons, yes it would be perfect for 14.0 but in the current state, no, it should be lower I think

Yeah in the current state it should be 13.0 or 13.3 .
Between I’ve heard smth abt the aim 9x and the aim 120c? Is it just theoretically getting implemented or is it getting really added, and when yes are these missiles getting added to the Finnish f18?
Added now, I don’t think so, nor in the next update but at the end of the year it’s likely, at least, for the ASRAAM (IRIST, MICA IR etc), as for the AIM 120, R77M or METEOR, I think we’ll have to wait a little longer.

I just hope that Sweden will finally have a 14.0 meta plane (bc idk if it’s my skill issue but I’m always getting stomped on by eurofighters etc.)
And if it will have hmd then it will be the best dogfighter at its br because hmd paired with aim9m on a plane that can outrate anything, is a deadly combination in dogfights
Just No. it has up to 10xAim 120Bs, no other plane at those Br’s can carry anything close to that number of ARHs.
13.7 would be the lowest it should be
Oh I didn’t know that… well… it’s definitely gonna be meta
wouldn’t go that far, Su-30 in its current state will be the only meta since it seems to outperform even the Eurofighters. It will probably be more of a sidegrade like the Gripen C is, not a top dog but also not a plane that suffers

All Russian planes are meta
This is not a totally new thing, works like full controls that we already have but with the normal mouse aim assist.
I think only the flankers and the F-18s have them right now, everything else still needs to use full controls.
I know, its just WAY more accessible now and at the push of one button goes on-off instead of having to cycle through control modes and when getting to full real being locked in that view. now you can have the normal mouse view and free-look while steering full real with keys/mouse. i don’t know if you’ve tried it on the dev server yet but it’s nuts.
For now yes, it’s coming to a lot more aircraft if what they said during the stream is correct.
