I hope so.

After all, I’ve made myself clear on what version(and how it’s added) would make me care about them else, cool but eh.

wouldn’t suprise me if they went with that as the name for the update, although I hope they think of an actually good name.

(then again, what seems to be heading towards another meh update is okay to have a meh name)

They could make it blue angels themed, seeing as they used the f/a-18

Yeah I doubt they’ll go that specific. There are more things outside of the US in this world and in this game.

They are probably the most famous users of the f-18 though.

Perform internationally and everything, I’d at the very least expect a skin

One of the Navy F-4s has a blue angels skin so it’s definitely possible (and would look sick)
