Fun fact some of the later CF18 were originally RAAF F/A18s that were sold to Canada

For those who are arguing for the US tree. You are arguing to screw over the Canadians. By further separating our stuff.


Also, the F-18 won’t be unique to the US tree. It will also go to Sweeden through the Finish sub-tree.

As I said before: “If you didn’t want your stuff in other tech-tree you should have sold them to so many nations.”

No brainer addition in the same update as the F/A-18A.

lxtav, I thought you were going to change this to a suggestion for a specific upgrade? (as that convo was so time ago)

Currently, all the upgrades are mixed up and you have everything listed from when they first entered service(including radars and whatnot) to now. Which makes it hard to suggest specific upgrades, despite how extreme some of them are, which are enough to make them new additions by themselves.

Ah yes, i was, however had some personal stuff and well… forgot

Ill work on changing it in the next few days, ill DM you

If the UK TT doesn’t get an Aussie Hornet, I would be 100% okay with this one as well, so big +1 from me!

Bonus for a really good GE/researchable skin:

Why that skin? Out of all of them?

Personally, I hope it’s the Battle of Britain or D-day one that is added. Either way, the CF-188s have worn so many liveries there should be a ton on WTlive.

I mean, all three could potentially be added. But for why this one: I have been and always will be a major sucker for any kind of tiger stripe camouflage scheme.

Update as of 07/11/2024

as of now I have rewritten my suggestion to focus on the IMP I upgrade specifically, this is due to me coming to realise just how different each upgrade was and that one suggestion could not cover them all, so at the request of the canadians have changed it considerably.

I have also drastically overhauled the suggestion due to it being my second oldest suggestion ever, and thus it needed some serious work to bring it up to standard with my more modern suggestions. Also just to be clear, the IMP I upgrade is the variation of the Hornet that most people would have expected to come to game first, being roughly equivalent to the F/A-18C just over the horizon

IMP I or IMP II

F/A-18A+ (USMC) equivalent, maybe

Ixtav, good job. We can now suggest the other CF-188 upgrades which will do us a world of good in the long run.

As for your question, I don’t see anything missing/incorrect myself.

The big issue with a Canadian TT is that there are not enough vehicles for low ranks
They would have to start at rank 3-4 like Israel

Uhhh- No. Both the Ground Tree suggestion Thatz made here and the Air Tree I (and a few others) have been working on, says otherwise. Heck to the point that Rank I/Reserve would have a number of domestic vehicles. Heck, one of Canada’s domestic vehicles is Rank II with the variant that is in game.

oh lol nvm

+1 Would be a great addition to the British Tech Tree when the CF-18 is added.

now f-18a and c models in the game. cf-18 will def fit. we can have two versions of it. a early cf-18a and late model. we could get a cf-18a with similar loadout to the f/a-18a and a Australian hornet for the later model with the aim-120.

i have a feeling we may see the Aussie hornet before the Canadian one at this point. only Canadian plane we got is that cl-13 in the German tree…

Not quite, there are a few Canadian aircraft in game, plus the British Spitfire Mk.IXs skin is canadian iirc (@StormRyder13 I summon thee)

but I completely agree about getting them in different makes

There are currently 5 major upgrades that the CF-188 could be based on.

CF-188: F/A-18A “C&P” (mostly)
CF-188 IMP I: F/A-18A+
(I don’t have an equivalent to that I can think of off the top of my head for the next ones, at some point it can get the loadout of the Super Hornet.)
CF-188 IMP II:
CF-188 HEP I:
CF-188 HEP II:

I do agree with this, tho my take slightly differs, bing the CF-188 should be the legacy Hornet and the Aussies with the Super Hornet after that.

There are 3 CL-13s in-game.

Two are in Germany, Mk 5 and 6, and one is in Italy, Mk 4. One of the Spitfires in the UK should be flying the Canadian flag.

Sotra, a few UK vehicles at least used to have Canadian skins as their base, from old WT Reddit posts.

If you’re talking about the one that should be Canadian, it’s a Spitfire FR Mk XIVe.
