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

For some reason Gaijin thinks that by giving the Kürassier a “German” name (JaPz K A2) it will make it more German.

Correct names irl:

Austria = JaPz.K A2

Argentina = SK-105A2

Anyway, I don’t object if they want to add an A-4 to Germany under the name: Angreifer 4-AR Kampffalke lol

If both F/A-18C and F/A-18E used the same missiles (AIM-9M, AIM-120A/B), which BR would they respectively be?

Wouldn’t they be practically sidegrades and therefore kinda redundant, I wonder?

In that case, I really hope they are either foldered or in different branches.

13.7 is my guess.

13.7 C, 14.0 E on grounds of AESA radar and 12 amraam

The big differences would be that the E gets 2 more AMRAAMs and an AESA radar.

So, 13.7 and 14.0 respectively I’d guess

Though I’m more excited about the premium one personally anyway

You mean 10 AMRAAM? But if the C has better acceleration and climb rate, which means more range for its AIM-120s, then why is it at 13.7 even if no AESA? AESA would be important for longer ranges to guide in something like AIM-174, but the current radars are sufficient.

Spanish Hornet to germany ;)

(VCRR too)))) :)))

Spoiler

Leopard 2E?

Then yeah… I really hope they are foldered or in different branches, hahah.

Since the difference between 13.7 and 14.0 is non-existent; it’s the exact same matchmaker.

Didn’t someone post loadout thing for super hornet that showed 12 amraam?

AAM-5 already LOAL but lack datalink

Python 4 no both datalink and LOAL capable, similar to AIM-9X (Block 1) and R-74M

Block 2 or Block 9 ?

Leak or photoshop ?

Super hornet f-14 line and hornet in AV-8B line is only way to do it

Like a custom loadout? That’s subject to the opinions of whoever creates those custom loadouts, it isn’t a leak from Gaijin.

Even though they are sidegrades mostly and both would likely be mid at 13.7 already, but I think Gaijin will artificially make the 18E 14.0 because “Muh letter E is after letter C”. the 18E will be an okay 13.7, but will likely be among the worst 14.0 if stuck with 120A/B and 9Ms.

Just like how vehicles like the Ariete AMV are artificially the same BR as the 2A7HU, even though these 2 have no business being at the same BR.

No, like a loadout chart from a manual or something, not game

I would like to see if that’s the case. I have not seen 12 AMRAAMs in photos either.

AIM-9M-9 and 10 justified, sweet

Maybe even AIM-120C-5

Which is better?

  • F18
  • F14

If it gets 12, 14.0

If it gets 10, 13.7

F-18 is now better all around due to cheaper, more reliable, easier maintenance, better avionics, and now better long range AAM
