Well, no, the F/A-18 is not an example…
The F/A-18A is in the TT, and is an earlier model than the F/A-18C Early (prem)
And the F/A-18C Early is missing AIM-120Bs and AIM-9Ms, both of which the F/A-18C Late has.
An F-2A Early premium would more than likely just get AIM-7Ms, and it would be more of a 50/50 on whether it would get AAM-3s or just AIM-9Ls.
what is your opinion on the “japanese” F-14?
well it could maybe be a pre-amraam C (it is early after all)
I wasn’t saying it should have AMRAAMs. I was pointing out that it simply does not have them while the C Late does. The discussion was about what a F-2A Early would look like, and I was saying it would not be similar to a F-2A Late since the Early would probably just get 9L/7Ms.
I’d say it should get AAM-3s as that would at least let it be somewhat capable with a 4/4 loadout with whatever it faces, but you do make a good point with regards to the 18C early not having 9Ms.
Yeah, on top of that it would keep it at a higher BR where the AESA radar wouldn’t be too scary. AAM-3s, AIM-7Ms, and an AESA radar should be pretty fine at ~13.0. And if it’s a premium it’ll make for a great grinding option.
Yea, that’s something that I find really appealing to play, as opposed to something like the T-2 early or the F-4EJ premium
Maybe one day they fix them…
Small summary of today’s military vehicle news I guess
Indian media claims a Jeff was downed, and Pakistani media is now saying 7 Rafales have been downed lmao
Yet still no dovblegs, am getting restless, gimme my F-2 Gaijoobles
Go messsage, or just ping a technical moderator about where the implementation of these features is going.
Why should I… they are all Accepted so its just an matter if time…
It’s fine to do it, you can ask them to ask devs if it’s being implemented. Sometimes devs forget stuff too, so it’s good to remind them.
They just got (reminded) when they fixed the other missile IRCCM, No update on the 9M
I was talking about the c Early and c late and not the a
If they add the F-2A early it’s likely they’ll add the late with it, like they did for hornets. If only one plane comes it’ll most surely be the late one
Because it’s all about hype for Gaijin
that was my point
Python 3s + AIM-9Ms at 12.7?
At the same BR;
At 13.0;
It’d likely be 13.0, but it’d be fun to use Python 3s at longer ranges and AIM-9M at closer ranges.
I know, and the point I was making is that the C Early gets none of the top end missiles that the C Late gets.
The F/A-18C Late gets AIM-120Bs and AIM-9Ms
The F/A-18C Early gets AIM-7Ps and AIM-9Ls.
The F-2A Late will get AAM-4s and AAM-3s.
The F-2A Early will more than likely only get AIM-7Ms and AIM-9Ls, possibly AAM-3s.
Oh my bad, I misread this. I thought you were saying the Early would get what the Late has.
You were saying the Late would have access to what the Early gets. My bad.
that is the whole point gaijin will not give us a 13.7 or 14.0 premium
i was saying that the F2 late will get all the same weapons as the F2 early and more, just like the F-18
