Fair enough. Though I do think you mean the T-2 Early(which also was removed after just about 6 months).
You know what else fits 13 characters, that is if my understanding is correct and my counting still works
“F/A-18C [CHE]”
what is CHE
Yeah, your count is correct.
Though we are all kind of doubting that.
CHE is the 3 character code for Switzerland
(Somehow) Short for Switzerland
That makes zero sense but ok
i sleep well in the knowledge its a copy paste 2a6
(was talking about the T-2 , missclick)
You should be happy about it, since france is finally getting some capable MBTs worth playing :P
it comes from the latin Confoederatio Helvetica or Helvetic Confederation.
And Helvetic comes from a Gaulish Tribe that lived in the area of modern Switzerland before the Roman Era.

puts on a tinfoil hat
Maybe but hear me out…
Germany doesn’t have pure top tier jet, F-4F ICE is 13.3
Now, Gaijin did add a vehicle to export nation before primary nation user (example is F-5A/C) in the past
So, in order to give Germany a 13.7 (top tier) jet, 13.7 Swiss F/A-18C is added
US (and potentially other users) gets the Hornet in December update

CHEese munchers? that works for me
or… or…
Gaijin gave other Nations the C Versions of F-16s and F-15s while the USA got the A version so maybe F-18A for USA and F-18C for Germany? and Sweden. And Italy. And Britain.
Why not the same time or the usa first. I understand balance but it is a US made aircraft it belongs in the US tech tree.

They will most likely want to make Hornet nation-time-exclusive as they did with AV-8B+

I’m going from the previous cases
F-5A/C is one I remember the most
Other plausible one is JAS-39C. Remember that UK got it before the Sweden did?
Plus, US has two 13.7s.
So, something like F-16ADF? Unannounced but still got added on main release?
And forgot that one. Good one.
For quite some time, AV-8B+ was only in Italian tech tree
