Take a look at this. The latest that a leak has happened was on the third day after a devblog. Then note that half the time leaks come on weekends.
And we still have about another 6.5 hours left of today based on past leak times.
I love Navy/Congressional reports on aircraft from this era because they all read like:
“Congress we want to upgrade our Tomcats”
“YOU’RE GETTING SUPER HORNETS!”
Hey I’m all for getting some juicy leaks today. But it’s also important to not take past precedent as a guarantee either.
“Congress we want to upgrade our Tomcats”
“YOU’RE GETTING A DOWNGRADE”
super hornet somehow has even worse acceleration top speed and turning than the c… Who on earth decided to put ts in service
congress
deadass all it has is better instantaneous and that’s it. Surely i need to lose speed faster!!!
Spoiler
The American naval tree is gonna be so silly to play in a year or two. Just jumping straight from the F-14D or F-18C to the F-35 because the Super Hornet isn’t good.
We might have to wait another year for sepv3 :(
oooooooh so F/A-18E will be Gaijins excuse to add 9X, IRIS-T and ASRAAM (and whatever Russia has)
looking forward to that
just wait til you hear that F-35 is so bad at it’s job that they’re now Degrading it to basically AEW by calling it a Sensor Platform
Assuming the F-18E is added this major and I think that is a big if given multiple other nations havent gotten a single TT aircraft this year so far and the US has gotten several.
It could also be stage setting for Gen 5 IRs to be added to everyone at the same time later in the year. Like we saw with the SAAF Gripen C or J-8F or Mig-29SMT.
I still think December is a reasoanble possibility for them
Hungarian low tier air promised almost 3 years ago
there’s literally no way we got the Hungarian tree 3 years ago
The 18E/F being added this update really isn’t that much of a big if. It’s a pretty safe bet actually.
Yeah I think it will be a while sadly. Would gladly trade in both the Super Hornet and Stingray to get the SEPv3.
eh, idk kf they’re putting the effort in to add them just to be foldered with the C
that was LAST year
Yeah F/A-18E is a safe bet.
We’ve got:
- Previous leaks
- Teases in CM post
- Could be used for multiple nations
- Almost all Legacy Hornet variants covered already
