Agreed its not that historically true to the original configuration but the chinese never operated it so it would be pretty difficult to make it a museum.
They do have a lot of yak-38s on the deck though.
I don’t think it has that many rooms although I think there were plans to properly turn it into a hotel and casino.
i always have the worst luck on crusaders for some reason. but do well in A-10 and F-14A IRIAF
kinda sad then that US has only big battleship and aircraft carrier musuems in world. but on other hand pretty cool US is only place with them in the world
you need to see a thread
The performance wouldn’t be that bad, especially considering you would still be able to Launch and Guide missiles.
[DEV]The F-14B should be impacted by this change to IRST/EOTS
The issue is that F-14A is arbitrarily held to a configuration representative of the '77 SAC, which isn’t really an Early configuration (erroneously models many Block 130 features) and the SAC still claims that the IRSTS remains an option. The TCS itself only began being fitted in 1983. Though Pre-production units were available for testing during ACEVAL (1974-78) and were fitted to many F-14A’s in service.
yeah im only JUST 1:1 in both the GR.7 and FA.2 , skill issue tbh but playing 13.0 every match with a gimped ir signature is so annoying.
Ive taken the AV8B(NA) after my brother decided to use it after i brought it from a 25 deaths 10 kills to 47-74. pretty good plane tbh now ive finally had the time to play, but KD doesnt matter if my brother had fun messing around with VTOL lol
i want to use very fast takeoff roll to do a MAWS check in top tier
the harriers main benefit is stupid fast takeoff and that is worthless at top tier as its only air spawns. I can live with really hot IR as I spam the hell out of flare BOL either way. Very hyped for the buffs after the update. ill be squadding up with other brit mains to hunt hornets in the thing update day
same! looking forward to finishing spading the FA.2 with the better flight. and T.10 custom battles when a euromogger gets outskilled by chubby harrier final boss
when F-15A/C/E (US ones) and F/A-18C late get BOL :(
Ive made my mates in su27s furious that they couldn’t win fights while in a harrier. made one uninstall after going 10-0 in the FA2. they are good but after two turns unless you get vtol to work and they bleed out of speed trying to get guns on you they have been useless
great for 1 v 1, but in 16v16 im lucky to scoot 1 kill in matches even when you dont die. you just sit back watching everything
im looking forward to the GR.3, FRS.1 and T.10 (and ofc to keep outskilling in the AV8B(NA))
gr1 and gr3 are best played completley different as there isn’t any (good) radar missiles to kill you. send it up high and dive on people is basically free
the shar variants are stuck in mpathing but at least they will hold up in their domain now
Both lack AIM-9L
pre MLU 1 & MLU 2 from dev server
After regular F/A-18C. add SAAB BOL-500 dispenser, The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM and AN/AAQ-28(V)4 LITENING AT pod
Retain GBU-10E/B & GBU-12B/B Paveway II laser guided bombs, AGM-65 maverick and AN/AAS-38B Night Hawk targeting pod
Replacement AN/APG-65 with AN/APG-73 radar (not sure RUG Phase I or Phase II). AIM-120B AMRAAM
But pre upgrade Sniper XR pod, AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW), AIM-9X Block II and AIM-120D AMRAAM (post HEP Phase I & Phase II). and the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)
Air-to-Air Missile AIM-9L/AIM-9M sidewinder and AIM-7M Sparrow (pre AIM-120 AMRAAM). but no targeting pod and Paveway II laser guided bomb ?
Similar to IMP I but integration the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) and GBU-49 Enhanced Paveway II
Pre MLU 1, the model in the dev is from 1994 and the oldest of the F-18C models in game classed as Late models while the US model is from 2006. MLU 1 is being skipped to allow for the US to be the only nation with a hirnet at 14.0 with HMD. MLU 2 will likely IF no new missiles come, will be 14.3 because of BOL. Its essentially the same as the model in game with the US but upgraded to use 9X and uses Saab 500 as standard issue as devs have stated its not standard issue on US F/A-18/C
As far as gaijin is concerned MLU 1 will not be added to the TT and more than likely being held on until it can be added as a premium.
i thought stuff that wasnt standard issue could come to jets payload?
Depends on gaijin. Right now we could be looking at gaijin refuses BOL on US hornets so that the MLU 2 is actually unique considering they got the HMD for the current 14.0
But the MLU 2 isn’t on the dev server Smin said it was planned for the future
Think he was just listing the models in service with the Fins
but there are other ways to make them unique from another, outside of screwing over future US hornet survivability
