Not for lack of trying. They were full on F-18 customers until the Asian Financial Crisis forced them to cancel the deal since they wouldn’t have been able to complete further payments. They were however fully made for Thailand, who already paid more than one complete aircraft.
As for in game, it would be somewhat different from US variants as well (maybe similar to the A+/early C premium), with the 1997 Hornets not yet having HMD that both tech tree variants will likely get.

Only add Thai Hornet if it doesn’t cause any more delays with the F-2 than we already had!

You guys should like France anyways, you wouldn’t exist without their help
the german history goes back way longer, kingdom of prussia etc still at its heart is germany
only cause the name changed a few times doesnt mean the relationship to france changed
Thai dont operate hornet as i remember
Germany, you mean East Francia?
They were ordered and produced, with the first payment going as planned (~75M USD) before it was cancelled. All aircraft were completed and repurposed by the USMC, Thailand wasn’t refunded

F/A-18 for everyone, I think we all deserve it :)
I mentioned it later in my other post that it was boight
In that case then I fully support Thailand getting the F/A-18 as they were ordered and built which is said more than the AJ.

They made a mistake by listening to the nation whining, we now know if we whine enough we can get a copypasta f18c for thai

so is this a foreshadow that we aint getting any magach/sabra related vehicle in the tech tree this update?
Ok, no second dev blog, definitely.
I can only hope for a teaser now! Although tomorrow would be more likely.

@MAUSWAFFE I highly suggest you make a suggestion for this as in my view the US stolen these aircraft from the Thai air force. Since they were never refunded they are still tech belong to them
