Idk, i think the F18 is unlikely to be 14.0 worthy as it stands but if its got a totally crazy flight model then maybe it might be. Idk rn it seems like a Su-27SM counterpart since it wont be comparable to EFT/F15/Rafale which im hoping means we see them go up in BR so we can decompress more.
well cold war /modern era german air is pretty much dead, swiss air would fill it up with intresting stuff and continued content
I struggle to see the problem here ngl
I think it would be better to save the F/A-18 for German and SU-30MKI for Britain for later, like you said they just got the EFT, so they don’t need it, and especially if Sweden and China get worse versions of those aircraft, it allows the US and USSR to have the spotlight again for an update at least.
Though I do hope Sweden get the MLU 2 version of the aircraft at least
Swiss F5 leak was mentioned so it seems likely, and while i domt think Germany will see a full subtree i think we will see Swiss vehicles placed in areas where Germany lacks around 9.0 and up

Eh, again I’m skeptical of gaijin actually adding anything to their air tree unless announced and even then i fully expect a monkeys paw finger to curl and for it to be a premium lmao.
Switzerland might end up like Australia and Canada for all we know.

f18 can pull some crazy G force in a dogfight should be able to keep with eurofighter as it has g limit overide allowing it to pull 9.4gs IRL now im not 100% certain how many eurofighter can pull but i think its in a simialr ball park 9.4gs is the f18 structcal limit irl btw
Are there even any dogfights in Top Tier anymore anyway? The few times I’ve paid a visit on my Eurofighter or F-15/16C it’s all just… well, BvR.
Rarely ever see any convergences, let alone dogfights. Everyone is just kinda dead the moment the Fox-3s are launched.

bvr wise it performs like f15c so i dont think there will be problems
Problem is energy. The EFT flight model rn essentially allows any noob to win any dogfight with no effort. F18 would need to be crazy broken for it to realistically compete
Kinda? Well, people do engage in WVR to use their AIM-9Ms, R-73s, etc
if they get MLU 2, we get USMC F/A-18C+ with additional AN/APG-79v4 upgrade
would be very unfortunate if there was another situation where US has the worst varaint of its own jet
By the looks of it, i’d keep my expectations low to none for today.
Be ready for tomorrow though, if that’s the case and some news are dropped, we’ll have a happy and interesting week.
does anyone have stats on how much the EFT can pull
Yep! I was wondering since I was seeing some discussion related to dogfighting abilities.
Interesting! I must be unlucky then, but, in general, I never get to see that. Everyone dies to Fox-3s before they can get WVR.
this hsa to be done intentionaly

I think you should research the Finnish MLU program before you start complaining about it
