Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Not a single thought went into making this post outside of muh commonwealth

they literally can’t

even the developmental ones will be Superior to any legacy hornet

Britain is same multi playstyle💪

Balance and warthunder dont go together which is perfect for gaijin to add the EFT and the F18 at 13.7 considering they are so against decompression

Eh, kinda but italy has just more for top tier air rn imo. For 5.0-8.7 id say britain over italy.

Oh yeah, it’s better to play Gripen with 4 ARH missiles against planes with 8 missiles.
And don’t tell me that it doesn’t matter, that it has good flight characteristics and all that. In this patch, the Americans got a rocketship out of nowhere with crazy flight characteristics and the same 8 ARH missiles.

I’d see it more as the F-18 coming as an equal to existing aircraft like the Gripen but the Typhoon coming as an equal to the F-15C/E.

That way the US still gets their required new aircraft, but other nations can begin to catch up to what they have now

You really think Gaijin would allow other nations to catch up?

Nations apart from the US and Russia? /j

One day everyone will have F-35.

Im just hoping we get the Danish F 35/A35XD before any other F-35’s

That is a concern for later, luckly we are most likely looking at CF-188 IMP I, which is F/A-18A+ equivalent, at most slightly better as it was a 2000s upgrade.

So if the CF-188 come now it won’t be an over-tiered plane due to weapons, however, it can only come now unless we get a proper home for Canada.

So we’ll yes the Aussies have Super Hornets those can’t come until later but they can come later.

(which is inferior to a Tranche 3/4 Typhoon)

I hope we will have at least first Tranche at the time they are adding F-35 XD

I’m personally hoping they’re coming this december

I wonder… if F-18 comes soon (December), where on the tech tree would it be located?

I always assumed on the F-14 line, but…

why wouldn’t it be on the F-14 line?

I don’t know, F-15E being on the bomber line (the ONLY one I never researched) has traumatised me, hahah.

I thought it would come after F-15C, or be placed at the strike aircraft line, but nope; bomber line.

So now I question even where F-18 would go. Who knows, maybe they place it after F-15E, in which case, I better get going with that line already…

I guess they will postpone EFT to next year, while December will only bring F-18s. Although I would be happy to make a mistake)

but the F-15E is a Striker?

the strike Eagle is in the strike line, did you expect anything else?

will you be surprised when the F-35 comes to the strike line too?

It might be USMC F/A-18C plus

F/A-18A++, I think 🤔

The F/A-18A+ equipments like F/A-18C in 2002 ~ 2003 but retain General Electric F404-GE-400 engine, F/A-18A airframe and before integraded AIM-9X & JHMCS ?

I guess CF-18A IMP I equipments like F/A-18C/D 2000’s and F/A-18E Blk I
