God please no, thats my nightmare is gaijin screwing up the E when the NG fits much better.

what’s the difference between the two ?
E features a top.of the line EW suit and prioritizes EW. NG is the prototype technology demonstrator that led to the E. NG would essentially be an E but without the EW suit. The NG also has a different tail design and had models with and without IRST mounted on the nose. It would be better for the NG to be added as it would be a better 14.0 then the F-18C by miles. And it would allow for gaijin to add the E when EW and 5th gen missiles are here. No reason to gimp the E when the NG exists and is lighter.

ah ok I only knew it was a demonstrator didn’t know the tail was different etc.
Gaijin’s been rolling out new attack heli packs every update—Pakistan’s Mi-35, France’s AH-64D, and now with this update, Germany’s Tiger… I’m not too sure, but I feel like as long as there’s some kind of test record, Gaijin might be willing to add them, even without actual service history. Just my take, though. Sweden definitely deserves more vehicles in the game—gotta rep my Swedish lineup, lol.
They already have with the AHS and MI-28A which were both tested but never put in service every attack helicopter that could be added to the Swedish TT has already been added unless they add a new sub tree that’s all Sweden will get unfortunately.
Thank you for your reply，now I can only hope and pray that Gaijin adds some new weapon loadouts for the AHS…

Okay cool thread. So whats the specs of the MLU 2?
When i get home from work ill start pulling stuff together been a bit busy. Id like to get it in a coherent post rather than just send links without saying what each refers to. This post was quickly made since we cant reply using the prior threads as they were closed alongside the dev. If you dislike the thread then i encourage you to add to it or make your own. I unfortunately dont have time to set everything within a few hours with work and me needing to check the current live F-18C to make sure its working correctly which as of now im working to test EEGS and its first person HUD.

Updated it quickly while im on break. I have a doc im working on separately with the info so ill go through and clean it up later while adding the more niche info if i figure its worth adding. (New fuel probes dont seem worth mentioning but who knows.) Its about 7pm so ill probably do more additions friday since i dont have anything late since im here till about 10 lol not my normal work schedule.

This article has a nice concise (a bit rough on the details though) list of modifications done with the Hornet MLU2 also includes MLU1 upgrades naturally
I added it to the main post when you first click on the discussion topic.
Seems very interesting, ive been playing around with the fa18a and c but this mlu 2 seems to be the ultimate legacy hornet. Do you know if itll get HMS?
If you look at the main post for the forum i have the site linked for what exact upgrades were added with the MLU 1 and the MLU 2 took what the MLU 1 had and added nore but yes HMS was part of MLU 2.
Located in the History at the very bottom of the post.

To be in top tier without hms is really disadvantageous. Do you guys think theres any chance theyll give it a HMS like they gave the jas39a?
Like what? I don’t think any exist
No, more than likely again skip to the MLU 2. Again ill update the post again when i get some more time. But for now id say the F-18C will stay as is, a few US players already claim Bias over the reduced weight but eh, its not that noticeable between my models but oh well.
Tbh i think they should give it hms, its no point in playing that plane without hms.
The vehicle is already not historically accurate so i have no problem with it. Its less burden for me needing my radar tilt keybinds in a fight since i can just use HMD but whatever. I probably have a higher KD then most US players but its not that strange considering the only people playing the Finnish F-18C are masochists and people dumb enough to hope it might be a good 14.0
