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

this plane looks exactly like F16

Sorry I got them mixed up I meant the AAM-5

italy used TAV-8B aswell

Then you don’t need Spain for that

Well thankfully it doesn’t have to use AAM-5, it entered service with AAM-3 and still uses AAM-3 heavily.

That’s because it’s an F-16 derivative

The AAM-3 (imho) is the best Fox-2 in the game.

That’s the F-2 for you.

How the Japanese reinvented the F-16… and made it better!

yeah, i never mentioned spain

You should do another one with Finland missing, given that they’re a subtree unlike the others

To be fair considering the missile count of the competition compared to the F-2s strict 4+4 ARH/IR loadout some better missile might be needed.

Maybe AAM-4B (they even have the model ready since it’s what they used for the AAM-4 in game), or they fix AAM-3

thx

I mean people seem to think the F-16C is fine and i’ve been told the F-2 is better. So the AAM-3 should be enough.

I mean, the post you replied to was me asking about people thinking Spanish stuff should go to Italy


Hmmm…
I’m not sure if this is real tho, but seeing as it appeared on the leak list I’m inclined to believe that it is.

I really hope it is real

Yeah but then it can’t carry IR missiles. Most people already bring 2 IR missiles and 4 ARH. So 4 and 4 is already good.

Same poll, but with only non-subtree hornets (no Finland) @BearHasLanded

  • AUS/CAN or Kuwait Hornet (UK
  • Swiss Hornet (Germany)
  • Malaysian Hornet (Japan)
  • Spanish Hornet (Italy)
  • None of the above
