I can get the wan’t to get the F/A-18 D hornet, but your reasoning is that it would be labeled as strike aircraft? I mean mayby for US or some other country but not the Finnish variant. Just because it’s main usage is being trainer and ground capabilities are sam than in the C version.

Yeah, pretty sure the Finnish Air Force just uses the F/A-18Ds as conversion trainers and nothing else. It’s just the US Marine Corps using them in the Night Attack and Forward air control roles.
Even then, these F/A-18s are still fighters, just a tiny bit more specialized when configured for that role.

The F-16D is also not labeled as a strike fighter so I don’t know why the guy thinks that the F/A-18D will be labeled like that.

Tbf hornets should be classed as strike jets bc F/A designation and how they replaced most USN strike aircraft and not the F-14 which was a2a

F-104A?
It shouldn’t be classed as a Strike Aircraft, as that would open a huge can of worms.
The F/A-18 is a multirole combat aircraft, not a dedicated attack/strike aircraft.
When would a multirole combat aircraft be a fighter and when would it be a strike aircraft? Wouldn’t the Su-30SM, EF Typhoon, JAS 39, Rafale, F-2, etc also be strike aircraft then?
(FGR stands for Fighter/Ground attack/Reconnaissance, the FA stands for Fighter/Attack, so the British Typhoon, their Phantoms and the Sea Harrier FA.2 should be strike aircraft too, right?)
It doesn’t have the Interceptor/Jet Interceptor classification ingame, but definitely should have it (without an airspawn tho lol)
It’s time for more brackets in naval enduring confrontation.
When will the issues with Yamato’s ammunition depot and armor be fixed

Yes they are mostly ussed as trainers, but are not handicapped, and should be just as capable as the us variants.
when is the update dropping?
nobody really knows
there is a chance that gaijin will reopen the dev server next week and that the update will drop in 2 weeks
or they wont reopen the dev server and the update will release next week
The 17th or the 24th of this month if I had to guess.
Sure, they are just two-seater Hornets, but having a second seat doesn’t turn them into more of a Strike plane than the single-seaters
how is there no new aircraft for great britain this update? seems like that player base is missing out, give us something even if its copy paste lol, we’ll take the indian su30 or some else south african like some mirages
“we” lol
Cheetahs or the Mirage F1AZ/CZ (or that one experimental one with the MiG-29 engine), but not just “some” Mirages

i mean it is a bit odd that there isn’t more south african aircraft in game, would be nice too see them come in
Bombers and strike aircraft are linked in SP cost for respawning to prevent exactly that.
Hopefully with this massive delay they actually change some stuff about the new SPAA.
watch them just do nothing to the update for 7 days and delay it for dramatic effect
