Again the thing is if it fills a gap or if the nation cries hard enough. Then it comes to the fact of what model will they get since if we get the worst export model for all nations than most would be upset.
It’s got nothing to do about needs, gaijin will, has and always added stuff on the bases of their interest.
France totally didn’t NEED the Netherlands nor we Brits with India.
If they feel like it they will add it. If it were about needs then we would of gotten our light tank line before getting South Africa.

Think money is the main answer. Lets be real, if stuff sells they will add it. I mean look at how little they try with most nations getting skins on their aircraft but then US and Russia get 40 each lol. Honestly the snail hungers for money get ready for Badger premium IFV
I agree with that, looking how many premiums are coming in, in this update which is like at the 200 mark ?
Sweden honestly at this point could just be skipped, this hornet is basically redundant for helping the TT while the Gripen is just a better fighter. HMD is too important and the Finnish Hornet has no gun lead sight on the radar. Finland has to wait until maybe nexy update before getting an option on par with the current US F-18C
Id say you’re pretty close.
In fact hang on : P
i would support the US hornet losing HMD if it and finnish hornet dropped to 13.7 tbh
then they would probably jump to MLU 2 with F/A-18C+ (late)
The US one could have just been a skin for the FInnish one :P

Not gonna happen, as Smin stated the US hornet was added as a Block 20 so it would be unique. The Finnish MLU 1 which would make them on par is being skipped because the snail is trying to only have the US with the most advanced model. So its just screws one nation over. Not like they needed a 14.0 to begin with (Referring to sweden)
Maybe next update the Fins can get a on par Hornet but thats if its added next update. All we know is that its planned. So we could be waiting till December before we get an on par model.

He specified it as a block 20?
they are screwing both of us over then, because HMD forces it to be 14.0, and since US hornet which is mostly same except for HMD (talking air battles) is 14.0 it isnt really enough to have Finnish one at 13.7. but if both didnt have HMD, would be much easier to argue for 13.7
HMD was only added with that model iirc
It wouldn’t matter, gaijin believes 10 aim 120 would be too strong for 13.7 despite F15C with 8 120 at 13.7

kinda dumb tbh
Though judging by the BOL bug report it seems likely gaijin will not be adding trialed BOL to any of the US F-18’s for the time, though it may be due to the fact that they refuse to add any modernization upgrades from the MLU’s to the Finnish F-18
that sucks. i kinda hate how pointlessly rigid they are for this but do whatever the hell they want to F-15’s
I was under the Idea the F/A-18C didn’t get HMD until 2002 and in 89 the Hornet was already on block 29,31.
