Wait, are we talking about different Scorpion 90s? I can’t find anything about the Scorpion 90 being even remotely domestically Thai

Switzerland bought F-18C Hornets when F-16s and F-15s were available. F-16s were also cheaper. F-16s and F-15s are better at air to air than F-18C Hornets. Now you might think F-18C Hornets were bought by the Swiss because it had better air to ground, right? Well, the Swiss F-18Cs did not have any air to ground capabilities.

Did Switzerland make a good purchase with the F-18Cs?

@Smin1080p_WT could you share some insight on what was the logic behind the trunnion and the turret basket being parts of the turret drive?

i second this

I mean, first i did not expected to see such a discussion on wt otherwise yeah, twin engine was needed, and f15 wouldn’t fit for their airfield + it was mostly to monitor their airspace, but if you want to talk about their last purchase…

They’ve should bought Su-27)

Spoiler

Although my guess is that the most important parameter for Switzerland (apart from cost) was a take-off run/landing roll, maybe F/A-18 has some advantage in it?

Im surprised they didnt buy Gripens actually. It looks like their perfect aircraft

Hornets are pretty sturdy jets too from what I’ve heard. Carrier landings don’t go easy on airframes

I like it, but maybe I won’t play it. -4km/h reverse speed and 15mm turret seem a suffer, not to say WW2 stock shells.
