Didnt notice that. Probably because I say F-18 sometimes when talking about F/A-18 and it just stuck
So i guess i was correct. I figured gaijin would push for the Finnish model to be the worst 14.0 and keep it there because they have no intention of adding a suitable 14.0 lmao. And Finland just keeps losing

the f18 doesn’t have a hmd because “it’s a pre-mlu so it won’t have one”, which makes it a lame excuse to tell a minor nation to go f itself.
HOWEVER, the usa f/a18c late will have a hmd because “it’s a major nation and they need more and more better planes”
For a hmd in 14.0 we can’t ask because sweden is a minor nation and even a br 13.7 either because they don’t care.
Gijin basically.
Before I had hope, now I sincerely think that it is dead and that we will have to wait for mlu1 and do 420k of additional research.

They can’t even name the jet right to boot
Guess i need to ask Smin why they get to be the same BR while being worse.
@Smin1080p_WT why keep the F-18 as a pre MLU if you’re gonna make it sit at the same BR as the US model.while being worse. I could be fine if they were both balanced in air but its actually just looking like specific targeting to keep them like this.why not pull a Gripen and just give the F-18C the MLU 1 HMD to balance them or move the F-18C down in BR. I really want to know why the devs think its fine to let them stay at the same BR while one is worse in nearly everyway to the other.

So, if I’m not mistaken and according to this post (which seems very credible) the Finns first had F-18s and then F/A-18s.
I’m talking about them calling it C late instead of C+ since it’s an upgraded USMC C
honestly, I get lost easily in names with all the existing versions so for a name I won’t say anything but if they are really wrong, then yes it’s not normal.
No idea why all are complaining!?
Fact is that the first deliveries of F-18C Hornets to Finnland did not have a HMD neither for navigation nor for radar use.
GJ decided to give us the initial Hornet. Fine with me.
We get AIM-9M, which is wrong because it should be AIM-9P5. M were not export. US Only.
We get AIM-120B, as we don’t have C’s yet
Me, i got a Swiss Hornet skin and have a an excellent air superiority fighter, better than my current AJ37DI which did not get the IRCCM RB74
Later we get MLU1 and MLU2
To make it short - this Hornet will be fun in AirSB
One minor nick pick I currently have for Sim is that the HUD appears to only show a bracket around the target when you have locked it and not if you are mearly following it in TWS as the HUD on the JA37s and JAS39s does
File a bug report, as it is not correct.
I sadly dont have the sources to make one
It had 9M… it seems like you came here to talk about germany so please talk this to another topic if you hve no interest in adding to the Finnish Hornet
Edit: thank you for changing it to stay on topic

So there were better options they could have added to fill the gaps. They could have added the first upgrade (to my understanding, someone correct me if wrong) to bring the A2A performance on parity with the American one. But as it stands, it doesn’t bring much more competent A2A than what’s already present, and doesn’t contribute air to ground which is the primary limitation of the tree.
If we had good air to ground already, I would wager folk would have significantly less frustrations getting this one.

Yes, the MLU1 gave the JHMCS and along with it the 9X, there are multiple JHMCS program aircraft already in the game but this one can’t have the same treatment for some reason the MLU2 upgraded the AMRAAMs in the AAM department

No, that wasn’t the case. My point was about tell that the Finnish F-18 is as-is provided and that you should accept, like I have to accept that there is no Swiss F-18 in the german tree. Thats all. It was compairing and obviously censored.
In the Swedish tree, the F-18C will be the very best A2A fighter. I have the AJ37Di. Its really not good, but helps me to finalize the grind. After this is will be history and removed from any lineup
No, your post prior was focusing on how Germany didn’t get the F-18 and that its unfair Sweden did before i asked you to change it to be on topic. Sorry the EFT wasn’t enough. I get the Swiss F-18 would be a nice addition but considering gaijin just added the EFT it was a longshot to assume it would be added. Now i would like to remind you that this topic is about Finnish F-18’s if you have no interest in Finnish F-18’s then please stop commenting and leave.

This is a very poor take when we have Gripen which does what this aircraft does, yet better.
