Show me a comparison between the F/A-18C and the Gripen C

Make me

i mean the F/A-18 has slightly more missiles than a grippen

Then I can’t believe your claim about it being equivalent to Gripen. I mean how can I trust you when you already falsely claimed about the Mig-29

Look at it it’s beautiful, perfect even.

And and top of that there’s only one place it could go the UK.

@quartas121 & @Tictaculer thank you for that info, if the Hornet is better via armement count then it is better than the Gripen in that regard

it’s most likely the LAV-ATWS (or any other weapon system on that platform), not the M-10 BOOKER for several reason’s

it is the main reason the grippen wont be a “meta” plane in the end of the day as sure it has a great flight moddel but it just dose not have the amount of missiles to throw around

As and no.

80’s it just C&P.

but IMP I and latter are unique but the US has an equivalent for the most part.

But the two the can come to the game right now, CF-188 and CF-188 IMP I, the US doesn’t need.

Thank you again m8.

@Godvana See that all I’ve needed so if Germany got the F/A-18 then Britain would need an aircraft to keep up lol

The hornet and gripen are not equal. one will probably be a missile bus knowing gaijin, but 10 aim120s is 10 aim120 so that’s more than good enough. And the other doesn’t have enough missiles to be competitive. And they are also not exactly the best ones out there, at least for the SA gripen. I’m not saying that the gripen is horrible and unplayable, but the hornet is 100 percent better for the current meta.
