Hornets extinct?

Just because some nations have subtrees doesn’t mean that 90% of vehicles added in updates should be copy paste.

ah so totaly didnt happen with the F-16 or the F-15 or the m109 gotcha

It is true. The Hornet was always intended to be the light fighter support to the F-14 heavy fighter. The fact that Congress forced the F-18 to take on all of the F-14s responsibilities doesn’t change that.

You think that was a good addition too?

always was already the case, its either that or nations dont get anything
they used the vehicles and as a result should get them as well
do you hear me complaining that propably 4 different pzh2k could be added?

Well then there’s no reason to continue adding copy paste. The F-16AJ and the M109s were bad enough.

`F-16AJ is an exception, but the M109s were all fair game

Man will be intresting to see u cry with the F-35 being given to literal everyone

So never ever have you considered that maybe, JUST MAYBE, Gajin should have given nations a unique 155mm, instead of everyone getting the exact same M109 (and in Israel’s case, two, and they’re not even foldered)

It does change. The F-18 was born to fulfill as many roles possible,the F-14 to only to Bomber intercept/CAP/Escort. When the Tomcat was dismissed,the Hornet already superseded it by a mile,a perfect example is that during the First Gulf War the Hornets had a more active combat record than the F-14,despite both of them having the same type of A2G ordnance: the former spent most of its time doing CAP and CAS duties,the latter spent most of its time doing Escort for the A-6E/EA-6B/S-2B and a little bit of ELINT duties, that’s it

ok tell me how that supposed to work out for the aircraft
besides that they adding the spaags step by step, and nearly everyone got their own ones now in the matter of a year

Everyone is still using the same copy paste. There’s nothing unique.

Classic Tornado syndrome.

It will probably be dead on arrival when it should have been added ages ago… (At least the early F/A-18).

M109 isn’t modern, and there’s plenty of unique SPGs for every nations that could’ve been added instead of it.

cold war is pretty modern where it startet, besides that again those alternative have been added now as well

and again please translate that on the hornet and aircraft, you are pretty stuck up on the m109 because its the only thing u can argue on

Idk why you care so much about the M109 in a Hornet topic, but copy paste is bad in 90% of cases.

u were the one stuck on the m109 lol jesus
again copy paste is the new standard will happen with F/A 18, F-35 and co

So in Short, Pangolin just want’s each tree to have their own actual made vehicles so there’s variety at top tier (basically the P47 or sherman situation) . Dot’s point is that there’s no real new vehicles at top tier to get and is fine with everyone being given the same jet to stay competative right?

Maybe paper plane’s and such could fix both problems?

sure would mean germany gets the Ratte wont say no

It’s getting WAY too late for the F-18. Soon enough it’ll be a complete mid plane, when it had PLENTY of time to shine. If you’re talking about the future, yes, the F-18 will be lacking in a bunch of aspects. But as for the past and present, I disagree with you, even with F-16s, F-15s, Gripens etc etc, I believe the Hornet could hold its own relatively well. But yeah, they’re delaying the F-18 so much it’ll be DOA by the time it’s FINALLY here.
