Yeah splitting the F/A-18C into an Early and Late versions is pretty good, but I wish the Late version would have some bigger upgrades over the Early like giving it its AESA radar that has been tested on it since the Late version in the Dev Server is a Marine Corps version which has been fitted with AESA.
It would also make it fit more at 14.0 as all the other 14.0’s have AESA/PESA radars. (Other than the F-15E/I)
I may have missed it but do we know if the Badger is coming this update? It was in the 2025 decal, and everything else in it is coming this update, but I haven’t seen any references to the Badger in the leaks, datamines, etc.
The F/A-18C with AESA can still come to the game. It will probably be called the F/A-18C+. But I am with you. Would have been nice for a more significant change rather then choosing to limit weapons load.
Will do that if this mission fails, but its far easier/quicker turnaround to make a beg thread in the dev server forum when its a simple copy-paste job.
The only thing they really need to do is I think a slight modification to the missile and its set.
The basic camouflage on the F/A-18C Early, dates it to 1989 at the earliest, given that the specific squadron only adopted them in that year, if you include the AN/AAS-38A, that dates it to at least 1993
Or downgrade F-15C Baz from israel tech tree to pre Baz Meshupar (improve Baz), remove AIM-120A and guided Air-to-Ground munitions (GBU-8 and GBU-31 & GBU-38 JDAM).
I’m waiting F-15D Baz Meshupar (with Python 5, AIM-120B, AGM-142 Popeye and SPICE 1000 & 2000) in the future
F/A-18C late from USA tech tree decompression BR to 14.3 before gajin add AIM-9X (Block 1) and AIM-120C-5.
