oh the toyota I was talking jeep
Is 0.50 cal is roughly 1.18 cm?
Eh the aesa radar of the 18E wouldn’t make that much of a difference in game yet anyway.
Until Gaijin models aesa stuff more fully, the only real difference between the 18C and 18E will be the 2 more missiles and seriously worse flight performance.
The 18C will likely perform better in the war thunder enviroment until they model more aesa radar features.
Imagine if F-15I was never added and the F-15E still had the regular engines. Maybe we could’ve gotten hornet earlier
we need this

Yeah the legacy Hornet was always more of an attacker anyway, it was made to replace the A-6s and A-7s, it was in service alongside the Tomcat.
Meanwhile the F/A-18E was designed to replace the Tomcat so it’s obviously a better fighter than the legacy… I will really be missing that AESA radar too.
I want humvees!

The story of the Thai F/A-18 is a bit of an oddity in military aviation history. In short, Thailand was supposed to get the F/A-18 Hornet, but the deal never went through due to financial troubles.
How It Started: The 1996 Purchase Deal
In the mid-1990s, the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) was looking to modernize its fleet. At the time, Thailand had a strong economy and good relations with the U.S., so they decided to order 8 F/A-18 Hornets from McDonnell Douglas (which later merged with Boeing). These jets were meant to complement their existing F-16 fleet.
The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis
Before the aircraft could be delivered, the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis hit Thailand hard, causing severe economic problems. The Thai government could no longer afford to pay for the Hornets, so the deal was canceled before any deliveries took place.
What Happened to the F/A-18s?
Since the jets were already built, the U.S. Navy ended up taking them and using them instead. So, while Thailand technically ordered the F/A-18, they never actually received any.
What Did Thailand Get Instead?
After recovering financially, Thailand looked for a more affordable alternative. Instead of the Hornet, they eventually purchased Swedish JAS 39 Gripens in the late 2000s, which now serve as the RTAF’s primary fighter alongside their F-16s.
Conclusion
Thailand was close to becoming an F/A-18 operator, but due to financial struggles, the deal fell through. The Thai Hornets were essentially rerouted into U.S. Navy service, and Thailand later opted for the Gripen instead.
