I hate that you’ve got the roundel on that statcard. What other Phantom FGR.2 is in the game?

That’s what I was curious. We didn’t expect the Typhoons this update, who is to say they don’t go to the F-18Es directly?
Some people I know, US mains, plenty of people on reddit, etc
Fair but against early Typhoons and Rafales? Itd be a stomp in favor of the Super Hornet
@Smin1080p_WT Sorry for the ping, but I’m just curious if there is any info/news regarding AESA and PESA radars that you are able to share with us at this time.
For example, the last time I pinged you I asked whether US aircraft may be getting their AESA radar upgrades rather than adding later variants of vehicles we already have in game (of course when the time is right).
It’s a little early for that
a super Hornet now with Early ARH age weapons would be a waste
Yeah I wouldnt want to see an F/A-18E without at the very least AIM-120-C5
at that point may aswell add a legacy hornet first
(I’d even prefer seeing an F/A-18A without AMRAAM too because that would put it at a nice BR)
I really hope the devs decide to give the UK a Revenge class too, that is the one vehicle that i want in game and have been asking for years
Id see the F/A-18A(non+) be at say 13.0? Right there with the Flanker
This hasn’t changed since the last time.

Here’s to praying for CBUs to be added. Need my JP233 and MW-1 :(
F-15E RMP (Radar Modernization Program) and F-16C PoBiT would be separate vehicle to new rank and battle rating 15.7
- AIM-9M-8 (Navy)
- AIM-9M-9 (Air Force)
The opinion that the F-2 is superior to the Rafale or Eurofighter is very silly. There is a huge difference in engine thrust, armament that can be installed, etc. Besides, the F-2 has never been equipped with HMDs from the first model to the present, and only ADTW has the 4th generation AAM, while the regular squadrons deploy the aam3.

a 12.7 Hornet A AiM-7F + 9L
a 13.7 Hornet C AiM-120B + 9M
a 14.7 Hornet E AiM-120 C5 + 9X
Should be lower imo, it’s open top, doesn’t have a turret + from what I found its shell will have worse muzzle velocity (≈560 m/s against 684 m/s for M109G), maybe also worse RoF.
Video btw

The later variant might be given HMD since they were equipped with AAM-5. It looks like a good reasonable guess that HMD was part of the AAM-5 package.
Im not sure if id want to see a Hornet fight an MLD like its Desert Storm in War Thunder
No, it would be much better to just add these things to existing platforms. We should not have to grind out whole new vehicles for things that should just be added to the current platforms.
I personally do not want to have to grind out THREE new aircraft just for AESA radars when they can simply be implemented as either modifications or just straight up model changes.
What would be better is to add older aircraft before these modern ones so that if we want to get them we can, but we wouldn’t have to.
While it may not be ideal I hope we get a version with HMD
