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

Thank you! Makes sense, since it’s from a Spanish F-18 and we had those before 9X.

I see! Hmmm… at 12.7, I suppose it will get 9Ls + 7Ps.

Depending on how F/A-18C is implemented… I am almost more interested by F/A-18A, hahah.

As far as I know, no more capable missiles are coming, so F/A-18C will just be a subsonic F-15C at the same BR as Eurofighters, Rafales and the upcoming SU-30. So it doesn’t sound very appealing for now.

Oh I see, I thought the UK isnt in need of another premium but I guess I will welcome that

F/A-18A pre Operation El Dorado Canyon ~ Desert Storm ?

You mean operated by the 428th FS of the USAF? And a US jet too?

Yeah, this profile picture+ the ‘muh america F-15’ description is very recognisable.

It is extremely unexpected but deeply appreciated if true. Not only is it our first premium CAS aircraft in years. But also should be really fun. If it has 9Ls that is. I miss having the Gr7 at the much lower BR in SB where you could actually use it for CAS properly.

That being said. It fits the trend of us getting 2 within close proximity and none for 2 years after that.

Last time we got the Lightning F53 and F4J(UK) within 1-2 updates of each other and then nothing till the BISON

Yes.

He want every F-15 in existence.

That’s on top of claiming a number of vehicles, not domestic to the US, as domestic to the US.

Like what vehicles?

And F-15IA and JSI are ones I’ve talked about, going to Israel and Japan respectively

I recently brought the tiger 59, wonder how that would be, looks very cool though so worth selling the IRIAF tomcat

Every USAF F15 fair enough but other countries gear isn’t theirs for the claiming just because its the origin country.

I as an englishman isn’t going to claim everything with the ROF 105mm as that’s British in origin. Nor will I claim all ordinance with RDX explosive because I live like 25 minutes from the building it was invented in

HMS Tiger is… niche.

The guns are funny to use but pretty poor accuracy and the secondaries dont hit the same place as the primaries when firing together. Also despite the high RoF of the guns, you actually have a lower RoF than the Helena and less accuracy.

But it shreads destroyers when you get up close and personally and sniping aircraft is funny

But yeah, T10 will be purchased

Here’s the thing. The F-15SG, SA, and QA have all been used by the USAF

The SR I’m not sure about, but seeing as it’s an upgrade kit to Saudi strike eagles I’m sure it was tested on a USAF one

I’ve been told that the NITEHAWK on the F/A-18As was just a FLIR, but no targetting pod.
They only introduced the targetting capability on F/A-18Cs and onwards.

Switzerland is not a Subtree
Neither are Australia, Canada and Kuwait

Nice we’re getting the hornet and the su30 and finally the r77-1’s is coming, but I dislike that there is already a premium for it. Now 13.0 will become a black hole next to the F4S spam.

F14-IRIAF getting a new BR raise? /s sarcasm /s

Harrier GR.9 HMS (Identical system as expected)

My eyesight for the T.10 shows the same helmets? im not too sure but its kind of hard to find close ups of the pilots

If that is USS Colorado then that would be a WWII refit as it was not finished until after Pearl Harbor and would be the reason the Colorado missed the attack. It isn’t as significant as the major rebuilds of the other big five, but to the best of my knowledge none of them had finished being bulged by the time of the US entry into the war. However it would be fairly representative of a Colorado in wartime service as only West Virginia saw a major rebuild, completed late into the war, and Maryland did not carry 5”/38s until after the war had ended.

Idk if anyone else shares this value but i gotta be honest, the F18 at 14.0 but must broken on the dev or something to warrant it being a EFT equivalent like mach 1.2 on the deck with all 10 missiles. Otherwise it really feels like gaijin based the BR off need to give Finland a 14.0 as a bandaid solution to a much bigger probelm.

@quartas121 any thoughts?

It could lock but not lase. Also the A+ model received the ATFLIR.

Imo, they might actually be adding the AESA one. That’s the only reasonable justification for 14.0
