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

who knows, maybe we will get older CVN and nimitz for hornet and super hornet respectively

i have no idea why there still isnt a US nuclear carrier ingame though.

100% agreed. The base-A would also certainly only have 9Ls and 7F/Ms, it would probably be ~12.7.

Not really an issue with them coming at a similar time, however given that this is the first of the Hornets we are seeing, what is the point in adding all the major variants at once, having an IR/SARH only as a squadron or prem is fine as long as the F/A-18C (by far the most notable variant of the hornet) is the main on added to tech trees

I agree. We need a TT f18c, regardless of whether the f18e is added.

I feel like making it a squadron vehicle would also be acceptable imo. It would still allow people to get it without placing it behind a huge paywall.

It would be like when the JF-17 was introduced, being one BR step below the top top BR.

in my opinion it would not be obsolete because if both gets added much likely the C Legacy hornet its going under the AV-8B+ and the Super Hornet under the F-14B and the A+ as premium, we are going to have the option to chose between the E and C, you can have more armament and better radar but a worse flight performance and in the other hand the same armament, better flight performance, less armament, worse radar for me its a sidegrade than an upgrade. and for the ones who thinks in the A that thing is just completly out of date it does not make any sense to add it at this point it just going to disturb the grind making it longer, harder and painfull.

The A was used during Desert Storm, they absolutely could give it 9Ms and should if they want anyone at all to use it given current compression issues

The ideal situation is the A, C, and E being in the tech tree, and the A+ being outside it, either as a premium or squadron.

No, it refers to the great…

The real question would be why they haven’t bothered adding carriers to more maps.

Also, the British should have also have gotten a new carrier for a while now

they could also put a D or F as a premium/squadron vehicle, or under the attacker line

Having the single seaters in the tree and the double ones outside would also work, yes.

for sure.

for UK, what carriers are there left?

I don’t know much; but it seems like it’s a middle ground between Type 81 (C) and PATRIOT; with a range of 50 km, top speed of Mach 2.5 and 73kg warhead. I don’t know about G-pull though.

In terms of CATOBAR we have two choices.
CATOBAR QE class
CVA-01.

and the Queen Elizabeth if we want to launch anything but Harriers off it, the Invincible is a little small unfortunately
