The spyder aio csn only carry 4 missles at the same time.
Yes 4 not 8. 8 is only on models etc. It was never realised. Its a huge restrictipn if you wanna mix loadouts
Variation. Its cool to see the different versions, and the 2 seater hornet is pretty iconic imo.

I never said it could carry 8 missiles, however with 4, it can still do the combination of missiles.
Yeah wont happen, gajin doesnt realy do 2 seaters if it can be avoided
There was a bigger discussion about the number, thats why i said it.
But yeah still big restrion.
Would have to think hard about it
Yeah the only way a premium swiss hornet would work is either IR only or like you said IR+SARH.
ARH missiles would instantly make it 14.0 (seeing previous trends) which is (for now) off limits for premiums.
But thats a lie. A7K, Jaguar E, T.10, SU-22U3MK just to name a few dedicated combat trainers that where added. F/A-18D as a squadron vehicle is just perfect for germany 13.7 area
ur forgetting the JA37DI

Yeah, I read it. It’ll be quite the decision. Long range or shorter range. I think the election would be based on what your (not so) very useful teammates spawn (if they even do so).
True, but that thing is also worse in many ways.
A Swiss F/A-18C with AIM-9s and AIM-120s but with no HMD and no CAS. This really sounds familiar, like an aircraft we already have in game.
Hornet with AMRAAM means 14.0 for Gaijin.

RB99 are in at 13.7, not 14

The Finnish F-18C is almost exactly the same as the initial Swiss Hornet would be (AIM-120, no hmd, no cas). The Finnish one is 14.0 and thus so would the Swiss one.
But you are right that Rb99 appear at 13.0 and 13.7 already.

I wanna ask…what is a true range for the Swedish EldE 98? Because after quick google (which i dont know if its true, that is why im asking) the IRSI-T missle is RBS 98 which apparantly can engage a target at altitudes up to 12.5 miles, which is around 20km. So with that im sure that range isnt only up to 12km.
OR did i read the devblog incorretly and the meaning of missiles themselves having a launch range of about 10-12 km means that i can lock targets that is 12km away from me but the missle itself have longer range?
The A2A range of the IRIS-T is 20km, however the SAM range is only 12km.
12km max means 12km self destruction in game.
it’s actual energy level is close to Chaparral, about 2.5 mach max speed. so effective range should be about 5-8km
Since this is a more Naval-focused update, I wonder if Gaijin will finally consider that 14 MONTHS has been enough of a wait to fix Baden’s D turret mantlet being displaced deep inside the turret.
Which is one of the quickest and easiest bug fixes possible.
But here we are, 14 months later. This is the kind of stuff why we end up thinking that bug reports are a waste of time.
