Its slow and has a worse radar than most 14.0

It’s flight performance is way worse for meta than every other 14.0
It has 2 gimmicks, 10 amraams and one really good low speed turn. That’s it
Probably can’t even break mach on deck with 10 amraams

I think it can with the upgraded engines but just barely
Depends on the version.
A would be 12.0/12.3
A+/C would be 13.0
E would be 13.3/13.7
Then there’s the CF-188 HEP and F/A-18 HUG
Depends on the armament more than on the variant
I have to disagree. I think A will be 12.7, C will be 13.0 or 13.3, and C+ which could be what we’re getting will be 13.7
E will be 14.0 most likely
I guarantee the A is going to be premium, why else would they wait this long to add it. Hell it could’ve come at the end of 2022.
Its nore comparable to Su-27sm, less missiles but maybe better flight performance but pretty unlikely
Wait, so the Hornet is only slightly slightly better than a F-4 ICE?? i was under the impression the hornets was decent jets
Edit: corrected the sentence
For carrier and strike purposes, amazing jets
For war thunder top tier meta, not so much
I think A+ or CF-18 is more likely premium
Well. No.
A would have 65 radar and 7M/P. With 9L (fine 12.7 with 9M)
A+ would have 73, AIM-120B, and 9M with JHMCS so 13.0 isn’t unreasonable.
C would be the same but better engines.
E would be fatter, have better radar, more/better missiles and some other stuff probably. Still nowhere near as good as a Typhoon or Eagle. 13.7 though for avionics. Maybe if they add the AESA for it.
If we are getting more Patrias i really hope we see this one for Finland. Would be one of the more unique models.
Could’ve sworn they didn’t get this until C+
Jesus, do you do anything but moan?

Nope, thats my thing, well that and argue with Quartas about the F15E

I think that’s a stupid idea. They can still add in the A at 12.3 with 9L and it would be a very good aircraft. If they want they can add it with 9M and send it to 13.0 with the Eagle.
I don’t know. Aussie/Canadian ones got it after some upgrades. After HUG phase 2 and IMP 2 respectively.
Did the A carry 9M? Thought the it only had 9L and Aim-7F. Seemed like it would be a decent 12.7 but if it can carry 9M i think 13.0 might be decent. Though the question is if it would be better than the F15A
Yeah, but he’s probably the single most stubborn person on here, and that’s saying something, I think everyone gets a good argue with him at some point. The man knows what he wants and he will bend every rule and convention to try and get it
