Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Overall yes but my experience with amraam 15km+ kill is very common mica can’t do this I don’t know about rafale that they can shoot further? I don’t have it yet but my14.5km with mica i only done it once

@Smin1080p_WT can you say if we can exspect this patch Raytracing for AMD and Consoles?

muh russian catering

Maybe some optimisation for Ray Tracing in general, so that my PC doesn’t go from 185 FPS to 40-60 when I enable it xD

I mean, I understand it being resource-heavy and leading to a performance drop, but… is such an enormous drop normal?

I mean, there are several reason it should get 9Ms

They’re more historically accurate
it differentiates it from the F/A-18A
if it’s at 13.0 already it needs them
again if 13.0 it will be the only, I repeat only aircraft at that BR that doesn’t have either IRCCM or ARH missiles
It would likely make it more playable too

it should get 9M because non-IRCCM missiles are negligible

Primary downside of R77, significant air drag isn’t fixed with R77-1 either unless Gaijin addresses that with update.

What Air to Air does the F/A-18C (Early) get?

Those map remakes are the best part about the update until now for me.
especially the Jungle map looks gorgeous and i cant wait to drive my Ha-Gos and Chi-Has there.

So far as we know AIM-9L and AIM-7P

From Store Page

It features an AN/APG-65 radar with advanced tracking and engagement capabilities, along with a large number of AIM-9L and AIM-7P air-to-air missiles and a 20 mm Vulcan cannon.

Hey!

Would it be possible to know if the F/A-18C for Sweden is the base version (1995-2006) or the MLU 1 (2006-2012) version with Helmet sight and updated IFF (AIM-9X and AIM-120C not in game yet but it did receive those during that upgrade as well).

Also, is it planned for Sweden to get a F/A-18C MLU 2 (2012-forward) with the ground ordinance and Litening pod or will those upgrades be considered suggestions for this version coming now?

it can carry 7P from 1987+ but why not 9M from 1982

cant give people who buy their way into top tier all of the braindead tools

Two questions. 1. According to the updated list, we are not getting the super hornet? 2. If the Su-30SM is coming, then surely the Chinese Su-30MKK will be added?

Please let the Su-30SM be the SM2 version

not even just according to the leak list. the super hornet just isnt coming. look at the dev blog

It will be, unless it’s the SM2

The AIM-7P is pretty much equivalent to the R-27R too, it should have been added alongside the AIM-9M and R-73, not a year and a half later, and it’s being treated like it’s better than the R-27ER which it just isn’t
