I know that Im just saying that the one with abysmal flight performance is the A/B
I am a native German speaker and I can tell it’s 100% it’s they didn’t want A2G.
Here’s another source from a news article about the F-35
Solche Bombenangriffe sind für die Schweizer Armee undenkbar. Zumindest bis heute. Als 1994 die letzten Hunter-Jagdbomber ausser Dienst gestellt wurden, verlor die Armee die «Erdkampffähigkeit» – die Fähigkeit, Ziele am Boden zu bombardieren. Die Schweiz setzt die damals beschafften und bis heute im Einsatz stehenden F/A-18-Kampfjets als reine Abfangjäger ein. Nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges und dem Achtungserfolg an der Urne mit der «Stop F/A-18»-Initiative 1993 (43 Prozent Ja-Stimmen) sah man in der neutralen Schweiz keine Notwendigkeit, sich mit Bomben auszurüsten.
Such bombing raids are unthinkable for the Swiss army. At least until today. When the last Hunter fighter-bombers were decommissioned in 1994, the army lost its “ground combat capability” - the ability to bomb targets on the ground. Switzerland uses the F/A-18 fighter jets procured at that time and still in service today purely as interceptors. After the end of the Cold War and the respectable success of the “Stop F/A-18” initiative at the ballot box in 1993 (43% in favor), neutral Switzerland saw no need to equip itself with bombs.

I mean, it does say that they basically cannot afford using the Hornet for ground attack, as they need as many of them for air defense as possible
ok then explain to me why the swiss would have to Modify their F-18s extensively to use Mavericks when the regular F/A-18 can use them without modifications
Die Integration der Maverick-Lenkwaffen in die zu beschaffenden Kampfflugzeuge F/A-18 wäre technisch möglich, würde aber hohe Kosten verursachen.
I think if the swiss hornet comes gaijin will know if they could fire a2g weapons. They have offices in germany and could easily get the information from the swiss goverment.
If they add a unique swiss plane then they probably were already in switzerland for modeling

they say their Hornets are technically incapable of using them and Modifying them for ground attack just as the Hunters were could result in an unlovely split of powers because the Hornets just barely fulfill the Air policing and Air defence role
nobody will get any defence information from the swiss government, and a german office doesnt change anything on that
It doesn’t matter if they could. Switzerland never used their Hornets for strike/ground attack purposes, so they shouldn’t get A2G armament ingame

That part is a mistranslation on your part. What they say is not that the Hornet can barely fulfill the air Policing but rather that they need the hornets to be barely able to fulfill the air Policing. As in if they didn’t buy the hornets they wouldn’t have the capabilities and capacities to do it
I meant that gaijin has german speaking employees for example mike and has a office not that far away from switzerland. It’s certainly easier than getting information about a japanese vehicle because they are simply far away and there is a bigger language barrier.
I really hope they are going to experiment with 0.7 br uptiers, since most br’s like 9.0, 6.7, 10.7 are just unplayable.
its not a mistranslation its just a diffrent interpretation than yours
because this can definetly be interpreted as both
still wont help because you are getting pulled to the premium spam
For ground or for air?
Coz I feel like 9.0 and 10.7 are very balanced currently in air battles
Because the Hornets they bought were only ever intended to be used for A2A and so don’t have the software and maybe even hardware to use Mavericks.
As I said nowhere could I find that the US prohibited the Swiss Hornets from having A2G. I said that the Swiss didn’t want it so they don’t have it.
both

aber ob die Schweizer das nicht haben wollten oder nicht bekommen konnten geht aus dem text nicht hervor
Nur das sie es am ende nicht bekamen
Tomorrow or Übermorgen.
Isn’t there usually a teaser before the first devblog?
