I think it has like 2 more missiles and a better radar than the 18C, at the cost of worse flight performance.
Harrier gets shot down in seconds, I barely get off 2 agms before pantsir kills me, it’s too slow
I think it doesn’t mean that much. it’s just you need 2 to carry a stretcher

I don’t think there’s a need for it rn as they literally got a hornet last update
unlike other times the F-18 the swiss have doesnt have the ability to carry any guided A2G so unless gaijin wish to change something about the plane that it didnt have then it wont
And there isn’t any need for Britain to get a hornet either.
So with need out of the way, there is an US 18E in the previous leaks while the British hornets has at best a statement from gaijin that “they will consider it”, which makes it highly unlikely.
I’m not against it. I’m just saying that expecting the British to get a Hornet this update is a massive leap compared to expecting the US to get a 18E.
The ‘problem’ is that it doesn’t have HMS, and considering that almost all planes if not all have HMS, the Swedish F-18 is quite behind on that one. So they want one with HMS and A2G munitions.
We got an Indian OSA so nothing is as unlikely as that
It will
If I remember right didnt he talk more about the british one being added then said that one for germany might also be considered

Which never has been proven. Just saying.
It retains all control elements in the cockoit for a2g as well
India is a sub tree for Britain, which is confirmed by Gaijin. Australia and Canada are not.
So yes, it is highly unlikely Britain will get a Hornet this update if they were only just considering it ~2-3 months ago.
Swiss is not German sub tree??

Not yet, but that one was leaked as consideration and additilns like the P-16 and hunter point towards it
I think both were being considered at best, but I’ll go through the russian dev stream to see if I can find something.

it still should not receive A2G weapons it was a massive part about it, if it does then I would like GBU 8s and triple rail AGM-65Bs for the Phantom FGR2

At the moment, no it’s not.
However It has a larger chance of becoming a German sub tree than Canada and Australia have at becoming a British sub tree.
Yet all India’s additions so far have been premiums/event/squadrons or Soviet crap
I will believe the UK is an actual tech tree of India when we receive something worthwhile
