Finnish F-18C

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.


it has but it is not working yet

Kind of a soft-nerf to Eurocanards since Smin said they won’t be recieving said button, however it does introduce an interesting skill dynamic in dogfights lol

ooh, i didn’t even notice the name above the radar, thanks man

Yes, but the feature itself isnt “nuts”. Whats nuts is the F-18 ufo almost stall speed nose authority without having TVC

The su-30sm at least can’t sustain altitude while doing TVC shenanigans even with a clean configuration because is soooo heavy, might be the heaviest flanker right now or similar to the su-33. Still it will probably be OP since it can just point its nose and spam r77 and r73 on command, but you need altitude to play with.

Having the one MLU 2 will make it unique upgrade for the Finnish while strengthening the lacking Swedish air to ground capabilities. I don’t believe that having multiple C variants will be a good idea and will be very frowned upon.

Is this the Finnish f18?

Yeah, it’s still DEV and we all know how UFO previous planes have been before release x)

just checked, the finnish f18 does have HMD
thank god

i just checked myself, and it dosent, if you checked on the radar then check the Pilot instead

so outside that can enyone tell me what Vertion of the F-18C are we getting?

I saw the sugestion was for the MLU 2, tho i would underrstand if we were to be getting the MLU 1, however of what i have seen the Finish F-18C is neither of those
