Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 5)

how

Why are the F/A-18 skins so bad/boring compared to the F-16 and F-15 skins?

Did Gaijin just pick some of the most boring/bad skin options, is the navy just less creative with their aircraft liveries or is it some form of restriction irl that you aren’t allowed to paint too much on the hornets?

They didn’t even add the Blue angels skin for F/A-18C

I mean, I can’t tell if it would be able to detect anything but helicopters based on @Armen_Lozone s description, so I’m not sure if that tracker would require additional coding to prevent it from detecting planes

They picked the boring ones so they can put the exciting ones into the camo lootbox lol

i havent read the full docs abt the patents so i wont confirm nor deny that it is helicopter only but it is called a helicopter sensor so maybe. fact remains it is missing its IR tracking

Ahhh, now I understand. I’m not sure, probably because of its FCS, it must be some kind of LWS with limited range and altitude, so it would only be useful against helicopters. But I’m honestly not sure.

They did, but only for premium one

No? The only Blue Angels skin there is for the F/A-18A. That’s not the premium one

I hope they add the craziest livery Finnish hornet has ever gotten (basically the only one ever).

I’m kind of surprised they didn’t include any Canadian or Aussie camos.
Well, guess there’s gonna be a lot of debating about the Commonwealth Hornets in the next RR&D, just like in this one lol

If anyone says skin one more time I swear to god

I said livery, please give me a medal for this achievement.

How did we get to actual artillery pieces from my horrible joke

You know what I mean can’t the US just be happy with their F-18C, F-20 and F-14 event ?

There are so many talented skinners around, but seldom you see that they make it into the marketplace. Thats very sad.
