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

The “A” suffix is a Western media fabrication, because Thai variant lettering is fairly confusing.

  • Gripen C = B.Kh.20 / บ.ข.20 / บ.ข.๒๐
  • Gripen D = B.Kh.20k / บ.ข.20ก / บ.ข.๒๐ก

And when I say confusing, for an extreme example:

  • F-5A = B.Kh.18 / บ.ข.18 / บ.ข.๑๘
  • RF-5A = B.T.Kh.18 / บ.ต.ข.18 / บ.ต.ข.๑๘
  • F-5B = B.Kh.18k / บ.ข.18k / บ.ข.๑๘ก
  • F-5E / F-5T / F-5TH = B.Kh.18Kh / บ.ข.18Kh / บ.ข.๑๘ข
  • F-5F / F-5TF / F-5THF = B.Kh.18Kh2 / บ.ข.18Kh2 / บ.ข.๑๘ค (because there are two different sounds in Thai which are transliterated to the same sound)

The Hornet part of the question has already been answered by Ares.

To be fair the airframes started life intended for Thailand. Thai specific Hornets exist and until the Asian Financial Crisis the deal went as planned.

That is already past the evaluation, trials and eventual decision, and well withing Thailand having procured Hornets. And not just that, but specific Hornet aircraft got their assigned RTAF serial numbers already. And sure, Thailand didn’t pay all, but they did pay more than the one airframe we’d see in game anyways (Likely a D model, since even the single seaters were completed as D models).

At the very least it’s worth a camo for a future Malaysian Hornet, though that one would be a bit better than the Thai Hornet.

Though how likely will the Hornet be ?

4th page of this topic?

Soon tm

I have been milking the same Talisman since 2019 lmao

Literally the vehicle I’ve earned most RP with individually in the whole game since 2014. Grinded the F-14s, the F-16s, the F-15s, the Harriers, and soon the F-18s with it.

Talk about value!

I really don’t get the “It’s not entered service” even though serial numbers have been added to them, in law if they were to sue them either they have to chose refunding or actually give those Hornets back.

Part 4 by end of the day, nice

If a Thai F/A-18 is added that was ordered yet never delivered gets added, does that mean we could have Iranian F-16s that went to Israel after the revolution (I mean they at least payed for it haha)?

Just in luck that reserach effeciency isnt an issue with that, My go to was the Buc S2, but now for top tier stuff I use the GR1/GR4

That is possible, and quite probable

This reminds me in one of the Godzilla movies theres an F-1 with canards on it

When does F-15E get the lighting II pod??

Thank you of actually finding a good use for cope Hornet.

This way XF-2 can go and replace the F-16AJ in the tree instead of ending as premium.

No they wouldn’t.

If only, but I suspect this is going to be yet another reason to delay the F-2 because “Japan already got something” bleh

Air Superiority all the way to Dance of Dragons has went full 4 parts, firebirds was a few hundred short, and storm warning has like only 2000 posts in part 3. Shouldnt be surprising if it went to part 4.
