aware of this, using at as counterpoint for 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

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.

Though annoyingly they gave Italy and Germany Brimstones and PW4s, but didnt want to give Britain ePaveway II or GBU-48s…
gotta love that
Again gaijin chooses whats different similar with Pirate iirc
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.
Or they can make it unique by leaving it as is
and then the finnish one isnt uniqiue

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
if they reduced weight on Finnish hornet that would also make it unique.
phahahahaa
Thats for gaijin to decide and what makes it unique is for them to decide also
its true though accoridng to Pheonix
currently both the US and Finnish one are unique to one another

Read his words on differences, again its up to the snail
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
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
they could remain unique if they added BOL because of different weight and different a2g loads
not without a source, that isnt logic
yeah worse, which it already has
yeah, so they would still remain different from each other if they added BOL to US one
something about titanium spars and computers, youd have to ask pheonix for more details
