Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Huh? We are getting a missile from the 90s.

F-18 is an 80s plane. It could have come last December just fine unless you’re talking Supper.

Honestly if it doesn’t happen this update we are getting Legacy Horent in September. As Decpend is probably Eurofighter with is league better then Hornet.

AMRAAM F-18 isn’t possible this update, too many AMRAAMs.

We already have F18 radar too, so its just the plane that is going to be unique

Oh… Well never mind I’ll retrace my words then. Sorry about that.

No problem, sorry if that sounded rude

we are getting more planes with F18 radar this update

Like what

f4f ice

Every nation is getting AMRRAMS that is not an excuse. the US can get the F/A-18A+ as it’s new plane just fine.

There are zero nations getting more than 6 AARHs on a jet.
USA can indeed get an F-18A without AMRAAMs.

Game isn’t ready for F-18 AMRAAMs, Typhoon, F-15C MSIP, etc.

The F/A-18A+ can use AMRAAMS.

the F/A-18A (80s Hornet would be DOA and isn’t coming)

LOL! This man is calling 99% of aircraft in WT DOA.
Definitely a troll post.
F-18A without AMRAAMs would be competitive and strong, the BR system exists, not sure why you need reminded…

You might’ve been thinking of the Super Hornet, which is understandable!

We’re discussing the “Legacy Hornet” which is the F/A-18 A, B, C, D

Super Hornet is E, F, G. It is slightly larger, and would have modern tech such as AESA radar and other good stuff

Ah… Okay that makes thing a little bit more clear now. Thank you.

Super Hornet doesn’t have an AESA radar until the most recent variants.
But yeah, AMRAAM Hornets are too soon for War Thunder, and obviously Super Hornets are too soon.

War Thunder needs to cook with the F-4F ICE, Mig-29SMT, F-16s, Mirage 2000, etc for a while so Gaijin can figure out where to put the more advanced AARH carriers.

not to be confused with modernisation upgrades that give C variants the A2G capability as well

You know the hornets aint that great right

Yeah, there’s a ton of modernizations and sub-variants as well.

Which means there’s plenty of aircraft to add, bring it on Gaijin ;-)

I’m sorry but what ?

The next paring would defo be the F/A-18, you do realise ARH will change everything when it comes to top tier maybe not the missiles but defo the aircraft

F-18A is 8x missiles and doesn’t get AMRAAMs.
F-18C is 12x.
F-18E is 14x.

They’d be the A6M5 Ko of jets but faster and with a hilarious amount of firepower.

@Deathmisser
Yes, when Typhoon comes.
