Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

[Pheonix_RX01]

Finland got screwed from having on par aircraft because gaijin wanted unique differences with the hornets so why is it a problem now? All im saying is BOL should be exclusive idc we got shafted before and this isnt any different

Yeah im tired from playing a gimped hornet, BOL wont make it a good 14.0 but its the best we have since Gripen NG isnt here, at least when i play the US i have actually good vehicles to choose from. The US tested with BOL, its not a consistent service item imo it shouldn’t get it.

@quartas121

hell the swiss one shouldnt even have a2g and im not even sure if they so much as looked at an AIM-7P

[quartas121]

aware of this, using at as counterpoint for BOL

[quartas121]

@Pheonix RX0@live

The US tested with BOL

US operationally used BOL on F-14 and F-15. its in US stockpiles and was evaluated on hornets

if swiss hornets get a bunch of stuff they never had there should be 0 issue with US F/A-18C getting BOL it really did have, at least once or a couple times

[Pheonix_RX01]

And its for gaijin to decide if they get it or not, its their choice. Just like it was to make the EFT’s different and the same with the MLU 2. Why do you think they didn’t give the MLU 2 any of the other weapons the other hornets can use. If gaijin made them all equal sure but for now thats not the case.

[Morvran]

Though annoyingly they gave Italy and Germany Brimstones and PW4s, but didnt want to give Britain ePaveway II or GBU-48s…

gotta love that

[Pheonix_RX01]

Again gaijin chooses whats different similar with Pirate iirc

[quartas121]

they can also make the US one unqiue by giving it the USN/USMC strike capabilities and USN BOL. wouldnt be OP so balance shouldnt be a problem.

[Pheonix_RX01]

Or they can make it unique by leaving it as is

[ron_23]

and then the finnish one isnt uniqiue

@quartas121

US one unqiue by giving it the USN/USMC strike capabilities and USN BOL

[Pheonix_RX01]

That was what smin stated when the fins asked for HMD, even if it didn’t get CAS it simply removed the uniqueness from the US

[quartas121]

if they reduced weight on Finnish hornet that would also make it unique.

[Deathmisser]

phahahahaa

[Pheonix_RX01]

Thats for gaijin to decide and what makes it unique is for them to decide also

[quartas121]

its true though accoridng to Pheonix

[ron_23]

currently both the US and Finnish one are unique to one another

[Pheonix_RX01]

Unfair F-18C Implementation - Why Must the Finnish Hornet Be Inferior?

This version is spesifically the F-18, differing from the F/A-18C in the US tree by being the early version Finland acquired that did not have the CAS packages and other upgrades that came later. Where its possible, we try to have the unique version of aircraft so its not just the same aircraft identically in multiple trees. Much like the difference between the German and British / Italian Eurofighters IRST. As we have mentioned, we plan a second later upgrade MLU variant which will come with…

Read his words on differences, again its up to the snail

[Pheonix_RX01]

Exactly, one has great CAS and A2A creating a well balanced multirole and the other lacks effective CAS but woth BOL making it better suited for A2A

[quartas121]

@ron_23

and then the finnish one isnt uniqiue

no, it could be lighter + different strike capability. Finnish MLU 2 more suited for air bc reduced weight, American C late more suited for ground because of wider loadout

[quartas121]

they could remain unique if they added BOL because of different weight and different a2g loads
