The performance gap wouldn’t grow if Gaijin were to introduce the Hornet A/B to the US before adding the C/D to other nations.
maybe 1 mach limit for LGB makes it unusable?
and maybe in the current balance where EVERYONE is using ARH missle in the ground battles you just cant use laser guided bombs, because it needs you to fly either in the direction of the missle or do little maneuvers so that bomb wont lose target lock?
The UK order and received 160 aircraft, germany only ordered and received 144, in the current day germany has more active EFTs or well “active” but over all the UK was the largest purchaser of the EFT
Dosnt change the fact Germany remains the largest EFT operator. While also buying F-35s

We’re the only tree to receive operated airframes as gimped event vehicles a whole patch before the tech tree variants come into play (F4F Early, MiG 23 MF)
“Woe is me, I had a competitive airframe for 4 years.”
FGR.2 moment 1
FGR.2 moment 2
FGR.2 moment 3
I’ll grant you that, you suffered for like 6-9 months before the addition of the SAAF Gripen.
And other nations top CAS somehow isn’t affected by this?
The Harriers can’t even reach Mach 1 and having access to Mavericks on those doesn’t make them perform any better than the Tornado.
I get that fire and forget missiles are nice thats why we want Brimstone!
ARHM have given players a reason to spawn missile only A2A loadouts
How would it not grow if the US received the A model Hornet when other nations. Germany in this case, would not receive it. Instead having to wait atleast 1 patch to receive the C model.
better speed, better maneurability, better IR missles, more flares/chaffs
You do know that the F/A-18A/B are limited to Sparrows, right?
Cool story. Your forgetting that Germany ordered 38 T4s which makes 144+38=182. oh no largest buyer and operator

F16 can fly with 6 agm-65 and 4 AIM-120 which is the best loadout in the game, and you on your tornado with shameful aim-9l just food for them while trying to get some ground kills
this guy has not played a tornado lmao
So true
the 38 they ordered are upgrades im sure not new airframes
They are newly build T4s……
FGR-2 was good but was completly outclassed by what other nations receieved.
That what you are showing was it’s party trick, using the RADAR and Skyflash (that meta didnt last long though)
People learned to multipath and reduction to guidance and missile logic meant missile shots would trash more often than not. Then it was the AIM9 D and a gun pod. A 21 would have you on toast a US F-4E would outperform you and the 23 was death.

I am not sure what the AA is like on the Italian ships though wasn’t it quite unreliable irl?
The UK’s 1940 onwards AA has independently radar assisted secondaries with octuple 40mm pom-poms with timed fuse which is radar sighted, single or dual 20mm oerlikon, quad american 40mm with radar fuse and 40mm bofors again with radar fuse.
Then the secondaries also have radar fused 4"
And? Have we reduced the word: “Capabilities” to mean only if it has ARH missile or not?
Its still a jet with a lot of payload capacity and excellent slow speed performance.
I dont know guys the Tornado can spin pretty quick when it’s been whacked by an AMRAAM
