Hm actually I just thought of a possible candidate for the “copypaste US tank”: Pershing captured by the PVA(PLAGF in Korean war). It is resided right next to the T-62 No.545 which the game did feature in the basement of the central military museum.
I took this photo in 2023 when i was back home.

How many CM per pod if you know? Also what targeting pod does the US hornets use?
I should also mention that Finland have JSOW and JASSM for their F/A-18s but they are a world away if they ever do come so I didn’t mention it before

Litening or Sniper pods, and 160 most likely, since I’m assuming it’s the same as the BOL pods on the F-14B
It’s 160 IIRC but I could be wrong
Yeah probably SAAB BOL-500 Finland chose them since they were the best option for additional protection alongside the upgrades to the ECCM of the F18

Don’t worry, USAF F-15E can carry 5 JASSM vs 2 for everything else
Honestly by the point we use those sweden should have access to 18x Brimstone via the gripen. Gripen E or NG with 7 meteor and 2 IRIS-T should actually be decent enough to replace the F18

Given Finland was approved a NATO membership, it should in theory be able to wield any A2G weapon that the hornets has IRL - and even more likely for WT.
Exactly, too far away to really need mentioning, kinda like the HARM.
Does the Gripen carry HARMs btw?
I might believe at least R-73M better R-73/R-73E
2 russian fighter aircraft could received R-73M.
F/A-18C MLU 1 without Air-to-Ground armaments and Litening targeting pod
Still think its a sad thing to realize that we may get a prem Fin hornet before we get a Hawk.51A with aim 9m lol
Unfortunately, the upgrades were performed before they were a NATO member and the upgrades were nonstandard so it’s not guaranteed that they can use any weapons other than the specific ones mentioned, those being JDAM, JSOW, and JASSM.
And as far as I’m aware there are no further plans to upgrade the F/A-18 in Finnish service, with the being replaced by F-35s
No, currently no Gripen users have interest in harm. They can however equip Taurus KEPD 350 standoff missile
Yeah most hornets are to be slowly phased out since the F-35 will be the main vehicle.
Will be interesting if Norway and Denmark are added especially since iirc Kongsberg helped to make some of the CAS weapons used by the F-35 i dont remember every detail, i dont really care, regardless 2 or 3 F-35’s would be silly but i dont really care ill take it gaijin, you already forced sweden players to grind the same plane 3 times with the only difference being 1 missile so whats 3 more jets that are the exact same.
Seriously though, pls if Norway and Denmark go to sweden make sure each nations camo is available on the vehicle. I dont want either nation left out.
Im still waiting on the T 2 to get its Norwegian camo
@Smin1080p_WT People have been wondering why the F-16C was denied tactical datalink through its helmet that would provide locations of friendly aircrafts. But the A-10C still has its tactical datalink and can see friendly locations. I made a report showing this inconsistency, could you inquire on this?

Fair enough, unfortunately the HARM will probably come way before air launched cruise missiles, so Sweden may be out of luck on that front
And yeah, getting a whole bunch of the same F-35 would be silly, it would be different if one of them used the B but so far I believe that is only the Italy, UK, Japan, and US. I do hope the UK get a Australian F-35A though, as the B is kinda fat
See i don’t care for the B lol, ill take the A anytime. Besides gaijin should just add HARM to the F18/A-C/D MLU 2 for balance, or just add HARM to Danish or Norwegian F16’s. Idk if they can carry them on the Norwegian F16’s.
Edit: was screamed at in Norwegian by a friend lmao, i had it backwards Norway has Harms we don’t lol

I don’t think the navy bought any sniper pods I am pretty sure they use the litening.
