No the F-18 can come earlier than the Typhoon would defo be pared with the Su-30

Could Typhoon come end of year perhaps?

Ether Christmas or this time next year is my bet.
The current thought is Eroufighter December. (for me at least)
So the F-18A(+) is either this update or September as it’s the only real-time for it.

Thats the hope
M8 come on the Ko is only good if people know how to use it.
If the F/A-18 is coming this major update then they must have kept it under wraps really well, since it didn’t show up on the leak list.
That, or the leaklist is wrong/incomplete.
Su-30, Typhoon, and F-18C are equivalents.
Probably.
incomplete, the leaklist never are everything, other trustworthy sources already said as well that more is coming
That’d be great. This makes me happy (and hopeful)
Now, even if the update only included the vehicles on the list, I would be OK with it considering most of the work went into FOX-3s.
From Bing Co-pilot
" Determining the outcome of a dogfight between two different aircraft types like the Su-30 and F-18C is complex and depends on many factors.
The Su-30 is known for its excellent manoeuvrability, especially with its Thrust Vector Control, which allows it to perform advanced manoeuvres On the other hand, the F-18C Hornet is known for its advanced radar system that can accurately detect and mark multiple targets

We’re outsourcing our internet arguments to AI now? XD
To be fair, the stereotype copilot is regurgitating is represented in the game.
Low-tech Soviets vs high tech NATO.
Yeeeeeessssssssss
mainly due to not atcually wasting brain power lol
Just wasting electricity and water.
Absolute madlad
F/A18 is slow as hell with all those missile and it performance isn’t great

Su-30 doesn’t have thrust vectoring.
You’re thinking the Indian Su-30MK project, which later the Russians commissioned Sukhoi to make the Su-30SM.
Which share the same engine performance as Su-27, so its sustained maneuverability will be slightly worse, and only in low speeds would it improve slightly.
Thrust vectoring is over-rated as it adds more weight than active canards add drag, and doesn’t give measurable improvement to performance.
There’s a reason USA’s projects all failed to replace conventional engines.
If the F-22 had a conventional engine option it likely would’ve went without thrust vectoring.
@Mytho-GR1
F-18 fully loaded accelerates and climbs faster than an F-16A, can’t remember if it out-accelerates & climbs the F-16C.
Its top speed is the only downside.
