Why are you using in like it’s a bad or unbelievably foul word? CAS is oppressive yes, but just because someone plays it doesn’t make them satan himself. Honestly playing CAS is super fun

If they add that F15E will be CAP and CAS king until the Awacs or super hornet comes.
What does the super hornet even do better than a strike eagle?
It’s slow af, worse sensors, worse payload
Radar to an extent
No, APG-82v1 is far better than the APG-79 on a super hornet

Hornet has better data link capabilities No? if not then i’m mixing it up with F15Es radar and i’m sorry
The funny part is, the 82v1 uses the processor from the 79 (probably slightly better too, by virtue of being a newly made one)
So it’s at the very least equivalent to the super hornet in those categories, possibly better

Yeah sorry I wasn’t thinking right I forgot how new the F15Es radar is in game compared to what the Hornet would get

I really doubt that the hornet FM, if it is worse than Jas39 or EF2000, then there is almost no necessary for grind that
JAS39 only has 4 Fox 3 with 2 9M, as it stands rn its the smallest payload. F18 would be a huge addition since it will almost certainly have a better radar than the Gripen A and probably climb better if we used the same amount of missiles.
im pretty sure they use the same radar
or at least a counterpart radar, APG-65/73 isnt very big
Why would ANPG-73 be the same as Blue Vixen? Well the PS0/5A is similar to Blue Vixen
Edit:radar
I have seen claims that Blue Vixen was on-par with the AN/APG-70 series of radar. So probably would be overall equal. Though it really depends on what upgrades the Swedes made to the Blue Vixen radar they fitted to the Gripens
PS0/5A MK.IV is iirc around CAPTOR in performance but again this is more so a problem with gaijin making fake gripens with mix mashed parts. No gripen C ever used the MK.1 only MK.II-IV so again any radar that better than the A models radar is great
Yeah, its time the Gripens got their own radar not Blue Vixen C&P. Even if that was mostly the A2G stuff to begin with

Yeah unfortunately as it seem gripens aren’t the go to vehicle for multiple nations anymore gaijin has just decided to ignore updating the gripens as per Smin stating so. Again the C has everything it will ever have so its unlikely we will ever see Gripens with its correct equipment
Regardless F18 will be the best jet on Sweden until F-35 or Gripen E since thats all thats left since Denmark and Norway aren’t official subtrees.
Do you think other countries will get the exported F35s at the same time as the US? Hopefully they are different from the US one if it happens and added a bit after.
Seeing the case of Su-27S/J-11, Su-27SM/J-11A, F-15E/F-15I, Eurofighter Typhoon, I’ll expect they will give every nation F-35 at once, especially as for most nations F-35 is their only 5th generation fighter.
Very likely the US will get both F35 models while each other nation will get their respective model. They could also add F22 at the same time. I dont see gaijin adding another Gripen situation where they add F35 to everyone and only F22 to the US.
