Honestly I think the 18C(late) (with only AIM-120A/B) and current Su-27SM (so with all the changes it got, not the release version) would have made fine counterparts.
Than they could have released the F-15C GE with MRML together with the Su-30SM.
Only problem with this is you need to find a way to fit in the F-15C MSIP in a patch in between with appropriate counterparts.
Btw, about F-18s shouldn’t they be able to identify air targets on the hood? from cockpit view I mean, asking for Sim Battles
Wym? like will the target show up in the marked in the hud ?
I think that info only comes up on MFDs
Like on Su-30SM, it shows on the ILS that for example you have an lock on F-15.
On the F-18 I don’t see what am I locking on
Also didn’t find there anything
Yeah only eurofighter and su30sm/sm2 have that in the cockpit.
because the F/A-18A/C radar doesn’t know what it’s looking at
Ok, what about F-18E?
Well it sorta does, It does have NCTR its just very limited. like you can tell a large airliner from a fighter.
Then why it can identify targets in RB from the third view I mean
If you mean like how the A-10C, Eurofighter, and Rafale show teammates then yes it should. JHMCS and Targo HMD’s should also have it.
(DEV) Targo 2/JHMCS 2 hmd missing “blue forces tracker”
If you mean showing locked targets then it’s also a yes.
(DEV) Targo 2/JHMCS 2 hmd missing Display of threats
Do we also have that in the game?
snail.
yeah but only in 3rd person. Snail never went back and modeled it correctly in the cockpit.
Nothing’s indicating it can ID targets on HUD
With Maverick preorder camo bonus
But where does it show the aircraft ID, or at least engine count
It should show the information on the MFDs afaik, just doesnt in game
I mean those are cool features, which won’t change the game too much, but if it exists in real life, it would make the game cooler
