elaborate

Occasionally i get them but if its a EFT or rafale i dont bother. Why would i try to dogfight a vehicle that accelerates faster, turns more and has better energy? If you aren’t playing the Meta you are at a disadvantage because the difference between 14.0 and 13.7 is huge

i know but still want my peak USMC hornet, and APG-73 F/A-18C+ with better engine, and gulf war config C or preferably A all in one update

also, the MLU 2 program proves there were hornets without a2g wiring no? so no CAS on Swiss hornet if it comes (hopefully not)

I dont think so aside from the Swiss trials. Again if you’ve seen any of the top players fly it they’ll tell you its essentially impossible to lose if you even slightly know what you’re doing in eft.

And the US will probably get it eventually, makes more sense to add identical models while we can.

Me using the Sea Harrier FA.2 because my friends insist on playing 13.0/13.3 to use their JF-17s and Su-33s

maybe the gulf war A and APG-73 + engine C?

what im wondering is if its going to be a Navy or Marine hornet

Finally:
RRD FOMO ))

I think the devblogs are this friday or next week.

in game terms, MLU 1 would add IFF and JHMCS
MLU 2 would add A2G capability, BOL, and cockpit upgrades

aside from the cockpit upgrades, the base F/A-18C gets all of that anyways, no need for APG-79

I think the devblogs are gonna be disappointing, no matter if they come this week, the next week or the week after that

(Unless it is a F/A-18 blog without a Swiss Hornet, of course. That would make my day)

Which really isn’t split devblog worthy imo.

but what will likely happen is simple. Gaijin will make the F/A-18C for the US, then they’ll take that exact model, give it a new roundel and just put that in whatever tree they want to put it in (Swiss and Finnish 18C as examples).

Its whatever gaijin wants, i mean look at the gripens, no gripen has every had the equipment they have. No gripen with GBU-39 has a MS17 radar and rwr ect ect.

Ya’ll are cruising rn
I think i’ve seen more posts today than on average and i’m only halfway through my day lol

yeah for like 1 turn, after which the F18 dumped all it’s speed (which it didn’t have much of to begin with compared to the EFT) and is now a sitting duck. It’s pretty much a 1 trick pony.

Nah, just having a stroll

I’m just hoping for some SAMs to counter the C*S spam of dominating flying crap like Rafale and SU-34…

Or Leopard 2A7/Strv 122 counterparts for other nations- including not only new vehicles, but also fixes of the already ingame ones which are broken and underperforming in multiple ways…

Ground Top Tier is such a huge balance mess, I can only hope for SOMETHING that would make it a better and more enjoyable experience by addressing the issues that haven’t been addressed over the entire year 2024…

did the math so accounting for gaijins in game 1.5X buff to aircraft the F18 when pressing computer overide can pull 14.5G while from what i can scrounge around the eurofighter typhoon and 13.5G
