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

For me the main thing is, at least we now the Finnish line isn’t dead now with one more Hornet planned and another being talked about.

This isn’t even about CAS, I can understand not adding the MLU 2, but they didn’t even add the MLU 1, which means no HMS

Mr Smin, anything else hidden away for the patch we dont know about that could come? Or has it pretty much all hit the dev server now?

IIRC there was talk in a dev stream of a thai tank coming, is that still the case and if so, any hints on if its a TT or squadron or premium, light/medium, etc? ^^

So why does the majority of Finnish players who wamt HMD ignored but other nations get what the majority wants? Again why does Finland all the sudden not get the same treatment. Again it just seems more like targeted hate.

Yamato’s fire control system is inferior to every other nation’s.
Wait until you find out how fast Iowa class ranging is, and Yamato still being “almost as slow” [for lack of a better term] as current BBs.

We haven’t ignored anyone. We immediately explained and made it clear a later version will come with all of the features being requested. Not just the HMD, but CAS too.

Fairly sure mostly everything has been seen by now. Though its a little hard to keep up sometimes with what has / has not yet with how quickly the dev server updates and things are shown :)

Does that mean we’re going to see the AIM-9X or AIM-120C soon, or will this version be 14.0 too?

Ik youve been asked this before but any clues as to if the update will be within the next week, i have 0 reasons for asking

Agin the problem is BR compression. It seems like gaijin wants to put essentially the same jet as on the US but without A2G at a higher BR. So again why do we have to wait to get a jet thats actually on par with the US model. Why does the current Finnish hornet without HMD the same BR as the US model with HMD.

No, it does not. It just means a later version of the Finnish F-18 is planned to come.

Fair enough ^^.

Very happy with Rapier coming, but the claim I was told of the Russian stream stating a Thai tank was coming also perked my interest, I do hope its true and it is something that will be funny to see like the Scorpion ha.

Didn’t the stream also said they were thinking about a Commonwealth Hornet for Britain ?

So this F/A-18C MLU is either a long way off, or will be at the same BR as the current Finnish Hornet?

Based on what the players talk about and maybe in the future I think was the main bit of it.

Still, a Thai tank is superior to any Hornet in the UK ;)

Clearly Finnish Hornet MLU 1 which is essentially the same as the current US model will need to be the same BR as F15EX and super Hornet will still lacking those new weapons.

Kinda makes sense for that to come in an update or 2 if we are entering a dry spell for new aircraft

No. They said no comment. Could it mean yes? Maybe. Could it mean no? Maybe.

From what I’ve seen, it’s more that they’ve heard the people asking, and it was more of a “Not now, but maybe later.”

So again why skip the MLU 1 if you’re tonna go straigjt to the MLU 2? Why purposely add tge worse model and skip the MLU 1. The only reason i can see is because the Devs always planned for the MLU 1 to be skipped so the MLU 2 is more sought after again
Its a kick to the teeth and the answer you give is a contradicting statement. So again why do Finnish air players have to wait for the MLU 2 when the MLU 1 could be added and fix this whole mess. Additionally why must the Finnish F-18C be the same BR while being worse. Please actually answer this question and nor just say we’ve already adressed this issue because thats not an answer, its you dodging a question that many other Finnish air players want to know the actual answer to
