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

[quartas121]

@Pheonix_RX01

for the US hornets

@Pheonix_RX01

Which is why i think they won’t add BOL for the time is so they can use their logic of sufficient differences

misread this then ig.

i just dont see the C+ being same BR as MLU 2 though. surely a .3 difference

[quartas121]

they have 3 that i know of

pre-MLU, MLU 1, and MLU 2

[Pheonix_RX01]

Pre MLU 1 (1994)
MLU 1 added radios, IFF, HMD, 9X compatibility (new cockpit)
MLU 2 same as MLU 1 but with A2G restored and with BOL (Saab 500 CM pod) and AIM 120 C-7

[quartas121]

@Pheonix_RX01

AIM 260

how is finland of all countries getting missile that officially hasnt entered service yet?

[Deathmisser]

So in reality Smin confirmed at some point we could see all three then

[Pheonix_RX01]

My bad lmao i couldn’t remember

[quartas121]

didnt he say only one was planned?

[Deathmisser]

One planned and another in suggestion

[quartas121]

maybe MLU 1 high tier squadron for Sweden?

nevermind

[Pheonix_RX01]

No, he basically stated they are going to skip the MLU 1 because its too similar to the US current F-18C

So we’re only getting MLU 2

[oom1992]

@Pheonix_RX01

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.

The early aircraft pre-order pack rank 9 for sweden tech tree 2 or 3 years after open rank 9, my guess.

@Pheonix_RX01

MLU 2 will likely IF no new missiles come, will be 14.3 because of BOL.

@Pheonix_RX01

The Finnish F-18C vs MLU 2 will likely just be BOL and A2G while being 14.3 or 14.7

AIM-9X (Block I) (if gaijin ready) and AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM

Personally, BR 14.7

@Deathmisser

But the MLU 2 isn’t on the dev server Smin said it was planned for the future

last week gaijin said plan F/A-18C MLU 2 after this major update

@Pheonix_RX01

US F/A-18/C

@Pheonix_RX01

Late models while the US model is from 2006

I predict that F/A-18C late from dev server mix 2006 ~ Q2 2014

[Pheonix_RX01]

Unlikely, its too compressed to be added and he basically denied it cause its too similar to the US 14.0 hornet for A2A

[quartas121]

@oom1992

2014

is it because of LJDAM?

[Pheonix_RX01]

Sweden already got a rank 7 or 8 premium, its would be about 2 more years before we get another and sweden doesn’t have enough aircraft to spare for top tier for premiums or squadron

[quartas121]

quite silly on Gaijin part, but ok

[Deathmisser]

If that’s true then that doesn’t make sense since we had a wave of C&P P-51C’s like three iirc.
Though saying that I could see the MLU 1 being premium, even for squad.

[Pheonix_RX01]

Gotta appeal to the nation that brings in money. I assume they dont want a repeat of the 229 problem.

[Pheonix_RX01]

Where would it go? Same BR as the TT model? Additionally he stated adding MLU 1 would take away the uniqueness of aircraft from another tree which is why they chose to add the 1994 model and the US 2006 model.

[Deathmisser]

@Pheonix_RX01

MLU 1 would take away the uniqueness of aircraft from another tree

Could you find me that quote, as that some level of ego for the US right there

[quartas121]

would it really -229 level though? that is a very extreme case.
