the only issue I see is that it only has 4 missiles, at least they should have a 12km range (maybe 14.5km if gaijin is feeling nice because it only gets 4 missiles)
Sexton had heat, right?
12 is the guaranteed launch range, 14,5 is the max range. Basically if it is launched within 12km it should kill, over that maybe.
Example in game.

Hold on, come to think of it- how likely is it that F/A-18C won’t come this update after all? It’s not on the list, but I know lists don’t always necessarily show everything.
Asking because, if F/A-18C isn’t coming after all, I may as well finally play F-15C again, hahah. I haven’t played it in months to save the modification research bonuses; but if F/A-18C isn’t coming this update, I’ll just spend the bonuses on the F-15E line instead.

I bet it will come. The only reason it wouldn’t come is something insane for US is coming instead.

One of the leak lists is part 1/3, the other will have at least 2nd part.

ZA-HVM doesnt get a radar lock, so in any weather thats not clear you are cooked🤓
Hope so.
I do think it will come, it may be pure coincidence but having 2 new US airframes the past 2 Dec updates im banking on it being added
Let me introduce you to Catchy
A thing installed on the prototype

Maybe Gaijin goes wild and adds the Su-30SM and the Su-33? Why not give USSR two airframes too?

I see! Then I will continue playing F-16C to still save F-15C’s modification bonuses for F/A-18C, hahah.
Yep overall it’s a nice change
Too threatening to certain favoured nations.
You will use your Su-27 variants with obliterated flight modesl and you will enjoy it.
It’s likely but to me, I’ll be disappointed if it comes this update, and I would rather have something like the F-14D that has also been wanted.
But as I said before that is fueled by the idea that that if we get an F-18 update earlier next year the one Hornet I wanted could still come to the game(as any hope for it to be added will be gone if the F-18 is added this update).
Supposedly they threw out the history sections but i havent checked.
