Or they can go the apple route and name it “Super Hornet Pro Max” or something.

Cause Gaijin refused to give it the C early armament.
Fair trade off since the US mains keep wanting new CAS F-18 options so i say go for it. Then they just add the later blocks in a future update unfoldered and at the same BR.
but why add block 1 when block 2 is better suited for game? only reason to add block 1 is purely to withhold USA from having an AESA when USA is #2 (couple months off #1) country to have operational AESA fighters.
and instead of adding pointless super hornet, why not just add the armaments to legacy hornet? most of them are compatible anyways
Im kinda suprised you didn’t pick up on my sarcasm, but doesn’t this seem kinda familiar to you?
oh alr mb
You see my point? Not fun is it? Regardless i dont get why you’d have any worry, not like it would happen to the US anyways.

idk. similar thing happened with AV-8B. so it is possible
Tbf the US got triple the number of jets of nearly every nation that year so [insert US greed meme here]
Feel like it was self explanatory, not a good choice but it happened but the US wasn’t the first and gaijin hasn’t done it since. Realistically I’d be more suprised if gaijin let the US air have another AV8B or 229 situation. Given its now perfectly fine to hold back other nations instead of balancing them so that one nation doesn’t scream they aren’t meta for one patch.
Its one of the reasons i find the US tree so monotonous, its easy. I end up just doing dumb stuff half the time because its a nation where i turn my brain off. Hell ive been playing the F111F at 14.0 and get 1-2 kills with my guns on the deck because hur dur 2000 rounds of freedom go brrrr (seriously the amount of low level players at 14.0 is shocking.)
playing Su-25BM with gunpods makes me grateful for the amount of ammo our jets and gunpods have
even the F-22 has 480 rounds of 20mm lol

Su-25 guns are fairly punchy and accurate but the limited ammo sucks. The Su-24 has a 9000rpm with only 500 rounds. Fire your gun for a second and your empty lol.
Mig 27M and K were my main grinders on Russia. No bombing just 4 R60M and the glorious 30mm lazer beam gun. (Also the broken flight model)

yeah, thats my only issue with them. compared to the A-10 where you can draw a stick figure with tracers and have ammo left over
A10 is another brain dead vehicle i play to just kill people with bombs. Who needs guns when every noob drops from above and im already pulling my nose up as they get caught in my 2000lb bomb radius.
I have it down to an art where i can kill almost anyone behind me because the people around here are so easy to bait.
Shame the TT 10.7 A10 doesnt get the dual gunpods otherwise id use that since i have the yellow lighting camo for it.

i mostly got gun kills and just shot at ground targets if team got air superiority
I occasionally go for ground but im mainly there for air kills. 4 2000lb bombs for rear defense main gun with tracers, 20mm gunpods with stealth belt and a separate keybind. 2 9L’s for swedish players unfortunate enough to play the J35D.
Peak loadout imo.

To be fair most nations haven’t received anything for top tier ground (11.3+) since Air Superiority. Italy (2A7HU) France (2A5NL/2A6NL), and China (HQ17) being the exceptions.

F-22A Early would actually be pretty interesting so long as we get some decompression at top tier.
- up to 2x 9Ms (ie. no 9Xs)
- up to 4x 120A/Bs, or up to 6x 120Cs (could do C-3s or C-5s)
- no HMD
Depending on how crazy the stealth is, the F-22 might be more of an analogue to the Rafale and Eurofighter. That or it’ll be the F-14A Early all over again… it all depends on how Gaijin handles it.
