Much stronger engines more lift and pylons much much stronger radar better weapons, basically it does everything better lol
We will leave it at that.
How does it compare to the Rafale and Typhoon?
why not both?
It is wild to me that people are actually expecting to get IRIS-Ts, Meteors, ASRAAMs and AIM-9Xs

would be equivalent but not equal to tranche 3/4 Typhoons and late Rafales
lol who’s expecting that?
Imo the F/A-18E and by extension the F is our direct counterpart to the Typhoon and Rafale not offering much over them but not lacking much either other then less engine power when it comes to the Typhoon, the Rafale though im not too sure, flight performamce wise the Super Hornet can keeps up for a few good turns and maybe some very snappy low speed snapshots but the Typhoon and Rafale have much better energy retention
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)
