I mean the way they been pumping out US and Russian jet they will property be added though it would make more sense to add the F/A-18 as it would be just a side grade to the F-16C someone told me
The F/A-18 can carry 8 (or maybe even more if I’m remembering incorrectly) AMRAAMs. It is superior to the F-16C bl 50.
“It came to me in a dream.”
The F/A-18 is a replacement for the F-14. So it’s going to be able to do everything the F-14 can, except with modern equipment.

They can limit loadout so those extra 4 can be used for bombs and rockets ect
I’m expecting the F-14D to come, with the A and B being foldered, and the F/A-18 being added with tier 9, since Gaijin said that there wouldn’t be more than two necessary vehicles per tier from tier 5 onwards.

Ok cheers as I’m thinking of Grinding rank V using that to get the F-104 and using the F-104 too get the rest of rank 6 then getting the ADTW to skip rank 7 and get the F-16AJ with it. Then fill in the holes later

You guys are getting coastal ?
BTW can we hope for some skin upgrade from Gaijin one day ?
Since long time the F-8E(FN) is in the game, the basic skin is just disgusting, would love to have the French blue skin, but inseed we have literally a copy pasta from the US skin, we can even see the “NAVY” badly erased from USA skin on both side of the plane…
Sure they love giving nice basic skin for Sweden but comon…
What it should be:

Will the “autoloader” for the BMP-1 be removed on the PBV 501 and lower its BR a bit? Also have seen videos of inderict firing by Ukrainian BMP-1 gunner throuwing shells around like nothing, getting maybe a 1.5 second reload, if I find the video again I’ll link it.
Its BR wouldn’t be lowered, the reload is faster without the autoloader.
I figured, but it’s weird how the video I saw, he had an autoloader, brought around a few rounds, loaded and fired about 4 in 30 seconds. Idk, but I’m definitely not doubting it’s faster than the autoloader. Here’s the video btw
The Fs are Blast-frag yes.
The payload they carry is at about 130-140kg of TNT. That’s about half of what the Kh-29 has but it would be a good one still
We did it bois! We made it to part 3! Now where is my u.s. av8b+ gaijin?

So, is that comment auto translated or something?
How is a “it seems to me” and “was planned” by someone titled as a Helper a 100% confirmation?
The Unitary warhead is only 80lb of explosives, though should have Armor Piercing qualities due to the 25% filler ratio of the warhead, I think it uses either Octol or -H6 so does have a positive Re factor (TNTe mass multiplier) of somewhere between 1.1 and 1.5 so with 2.2 pounds in a kg has an explosives mass of 40~54kg which is about the same a a Mk.81 (250lb class GPHE bomb; with 51kg / 120lb) which has a kill radius of about 5 meters.
It’s on par with the Kh-23 and has a fraction of the mass of the Kh-25 or -29 with all of the same downsides as their respective -T and -L variants. In short it’s not great as it was designed to kill ships may do slightly better now that bomb penetration has been implemented, and since it uses the HE damage model won’t suffer from the 20mm overpressure hardcap that the HEAT DM suffers from.
It’s honestly quite strange all of the 300lb warhead variants have been withheld for balancing reasons (Harrier Gr.7 was only equipt with the -G and later 300lb variants but was given the -65D for unknown reasons) since they are either practically worse, or have no upsides vs the HEAT warhead variants, unless explicitly attacking ships, large facilities or infrastructure, none of which are common targets in WT. A closer counterpart would be the AGM-84E but that still needs the later A-6E’s or F/A-18s to turn up (or F-16C-50+)

That is because they would have received factory painted F-8s from the US, and that includes all US / Navy stencils
The French navy even kept the US stencils until they could re-paint them, they would have painted their own markings over the top and or even have painted a coat of paint over some of the US navy markings, but for the most part the paint would be too thin since no undercoating was applied nor the old paint or markings removed… so it would be very common to have seen some old markings under temporary paint jobs
