He specified it as a block 20?
they are screwing both of us over then, because HMD forces it to be 14.0, and since US hornet which is mostly same except for HMD (talking air battles) is 14.0 it isnt really enough to have Finnish one at 13.7. but if both didnt have HMD, would be much easier to argue for 13.7
HMD was only added with that model iirc
It wouldn’t matter, gaijin believes 10 aim 120 would be too strong for 13.7 despite F15C with 8 120 at 13.7

kinda dumb tbh
Though judging by the BOL bug report it seems likely gaijin will not be adding trialed BOL to any of the US F-18’s for the time, though it may be due to the fact that they refuse to add any modernization upgrades from the MLU’s to the Finnish F-18
that sucks. i kinda hate how pointlessly rigid they are for this but do whatever the hell they want to F-15’s
I was under the Idea the F/A-18C didn’t get HMD until 2002 and in 89 the Hornet was already on block 29,31.
wait what? wasnt JHMCS only made in like 2003?
No they are only doing this because the Finnish F-18 exists. Cant guve the US model BOL. Because the Fins only have it on the MLU 2. Cant raise the BR since everything is so compressed.
I mean clearly the Finnish opinion doesn’t get the 229 treatment like when the US wants something.
I’ll double check but I think tests for it started in 01.

Then it needs to potentially be bug reported and removed. Again its doubtful as by Smins words, HMD was part that makes it unique which is wjy they refuse to give it to the Finnish Hornet.
i dont really see how that affects ours though.
and i dont agree with gaijin decision, but 229 situation is not a fair comparison
Did he specifically say block 20?
229 is definitely fair, the only difference is Sweden is the one asking to be made on par. HMD is very vital in these insanely small maps unfortunately gaijin doesn’t care.

Idr, he deleted like 3-4 of his posts and mine when i was arguing with him over the decision.
I’ve been trying to get a timeframe for the Aircraft out of him for a while. He ignores the requests.
-229 thing was like space shuttle (F-15I) vs. heavier F-15C (F-15E with -220’s)
sweden shoudlve gotten MLU 1, but -229 is a more extreme case. especially with their original statement on the matter
thats because there isnt really one
Oh trust me thats normal, it took over a year before he finally stated that Gaijin has no interest in a historically accurate Gripen which is why they are from 1994-2016 because they have parts from different MS like GBU-39 from MS20 but instead of the PS0/5A MK.IV radar it has the Gripen A/MS 17 radar and display
