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

@AlvisWisla

Look at the theme of the trailer, that theme doesn’t fit F-2 nor J-11.
Themes dictate what’s shown, not the entire content of an update.

What was the theme then? “British SAM, Russian SPH, Su-30 not using the TVC in action and an F-18 shoots a poor MiG-21”?

There is no story, there is no theme. Just really bleak showcase of a bunch of unrelated aircraft. Instead a bit of action of an F-2 and J-11/10 having a proper fight, actually interacting, maybe bringing in new story and characters like previous teasers have, that makes it a theme. The teaser was literally only a minute, there would’ve even been enough time to mix that with the existing footage!

CN CAS is hilariously bad, even worse is that it doesn’t need to be (Gaijin not giving JH-7A and J-10A their actual CAS loadouts)

[artan24]

you did not see all vehicles in the trailer so swiss f-18 surely is here

[S-H-E-R-R-Y]

Should these come in 2025

• Yes
• No

@Morvran

Nope 🤣

[BearHasLanded]

Yeah, I remember actually getting gun kills when the F-16A was the top dog

[VF21_Freelancers]

More info of those hornet camouflages

[KhorneFlakez1337]

lol, lmao even

[Nagisei]

IIRC, it only out rates or competes when diving, but as soon as you try rating on the deck, the F-16 wins.

[Ace_of_LuftWaffe]

My favorite era for sure… playing the F-14A back then was so fun

[artan24]

you say they will only add it to US? :/

when they added osa spaa, a few nations got it

[themadseventeen]

As if the F-16 is the pinnacle of dogfighting capabilities at top tier rn

@BiasedThunderツ

@Smin1080p_WT After the teaser should we expect one devblog talking in depth about one of these reveals or better go sleep already and wait for further news?

We never have blogs the same day after the teaser comes out. Thats all for today.

We’ll have some more news tomorrow.

@themadseventeen

Also it can’t carry AMRAAMs on the tips.

Never said it could. Was referring to the 12 AAM loadout on the F/A-18E, unless I’m mistaken. Ain’t an F-18 expert, just love the looks of it and history. Never looks into specs and such.

[Kminek246]

So…when is the next update soppose to be? May?

[crunchyBoy]

A2G weapons missing from China like the c-701, c-704, KD-88 so the Jf-17, J10A and JH7A can be fired, I made a bug report which was validated for the Chinese A2G I hope that this missile will appear in this update at least for the C-701 and C-704

[KhorneFlakez1337]

US and maybe Sweden (Finland)

If a Swiss subtree was part of the update, the trailer would have included it

[themadseventeen]

Is the F/A-18E in the trailer with us rn?

[LiquidGod750-live]

Thank you for the info smin. <3
