I wonder if it was in this thread or where, but I remember someone claiming AIM-9M wasnt exported and it was AIM-9P4/5 used not M. Looked up on that and its load of bantha poodoo. AIM-9M was exported to Finland in 1992.
He continues to play off the Finnish Hornet like its similar to the Swiss model despite not being the same…
Heres the response. Essentially gaijin rushed the Finnish Hornet since they based it on the early and decided to give up after removing everything they deemed would take away the uniqueness to the US mains.

Next It’ll only carry 9E’S and AIM-7E2’S, to keep it unique.
@Smin1080p_WT You’re going to tell us that the F-18 is not getting EEGS while the OCU got HMD?

Eh, i dont have the Finnish Flight manual for this specific model just stuff towards the MLU. So i am having a hard time trying to find a suitable reason why it got removed. It shouldn’t have been removed but here we are. And idk if a specifc manual exists for the Finnish F-18C that the in game model is based on. To be fair i need to get around to bug reporting AIM 9L since that was never used in Finnish service but i know gaijin wouldn’t remove it so it may just be a waste of time.
We should not leak classified documents
Tbf iirc OCU never used aim 120’s irl which is what the Japanese/Thai players wanted removed since it would make it a lot easier to play but gaijin decided to give it a HMS it never had. HMS specifically for IR missiles so its not tied to the Radar.
No, don’t do that, don’t even mention it.
I forgot it didn’t have radar HMD, how is it still at 13.7?
F16 with Fox 3
Whaaaat, we always get what we want when that happens.
Still worse than the C
No thats not how it works. Im willing to joke and such but i don’t need the thread being closed for stupid comments like that.
As I mentioned above (In the PM that was shared without my permission), anything missing from the aircraft is possible to report and it will be reviewed.
Doesn’t matter BR’s are too compressed
Tho even if it did, it would be classified as TL IV at very least.
I can do with that Hornet what ever I like to.
My bad, seen more than enough PM’s shared and it didn’t seem like it was secret information. Its also more credible to state and show a mod then say this is what they said.
Then stay out of the Finnish hornet discussions please. They are not Finnish Hornets nor do they follow the same doctrine so please either find a Swiss hornet discussion post or make one yourself.
