The last update was a bit late, this is a bit early.
Probably they did not want to wreck the servers in the middle of a grind fest

I have already submitted a bug report but have not received any response :/

Thats fair, I thought it had recieved one of the larger ones during the SCU, and when I saw your F-16 report at first I was so confused I was like why is he trying to get the AMRAAMs removed but then I saw you say it should be E MLU for AMRAAM
Further justifies our frustration.

if they keep adding more copy paste I’m going to flipping lose it…
I dont think F/A-18C is considered as Super Hornet. Super Hornet should be E and F variant

so. the F-22 and B-2 it is.
E and F are Super Hornet, A and C are Legacy
Chinese balloons lol

I added some additional sources to it, hopefully it gets fixed and we’re not stuck with an F-16 that is ahistorically forced into being the worst in the game

thanks
At this point it really doesn’t matter what hornet they add, none of them will really be able to keep up with the new competition.

I am also wondering why the Thai F-5A is limited to AIM-9E missiles, when I couldn’t find any reference to those being used on it and all missiles mounted to them have been AIM-9P.
This is especially weird since the ROCAF F-5A has AIM-9P at the same BR…

I personally think think people are quite underestimating the Hornet, Gaijin calculates weight and airframe strength and whatnot differently (most vehicles have higher TWR in WT), so while it wont be THAT fast itll serve as a larger F-5 which I mean IS what the F/A-18 really is the Legacy anyway, and we all know how ratty that thinf is so imagine one faster that carries annoying weapons

I think its only their tesbed for stealth just like how the Su-57 is their testbed for missles
Eh it mostly just comes in at a very unfavorable point for it in the meta. Sure it can do very well in 1 turn fights, but it shits out all it’s speed (speed losses of ~100 km/h per second for the 18C and ~120 km/h per second for the 18E). So all that planes have to do is force them to turn and just extend away, because the Hornet is not getting that speed back anytime soon.
It will accelerate better in game, aircraft are always lighter in WT itll 100% have a 1:1 TWR fully loaded in WT
