Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

It has to get Cs since As and Bs don’t fit in the weapons bay.

It shouldn’t be as amazing as some think due to the average engagement ranges in game being much shorter than real life.

F/A-18E (early) Block I around 2001 ~ Q2 2003. without GBU-38(V)2/B JDAM, GBU-54(V)2/B LJDAM, AGM-154C JSOW, AGM-88E & AGM-88G AARGM, GBU-12F/B DMLGB and AGM-154C-1 JSOW

Fitted AN/APG-73 (RUG phase II) radar like F/A-18C/D but equipped 2nd gen targeting pod AN/AAS-46 TFLIR, and pre integrate JHMCS

F/A-18E (Late) Block II outfitted AN/APG-79 AESA radar

It maybe F/A-18E Block II

No, he’s too ugly

Wrong, it could carry As and Bs, up to 4 in the large bays. The point of the Cs was to carry more (6 instead of 4)

I mean, giving it early C missiles would be the same as giving it As/Bs, just that it could carry 2 more (if what you are saying is true anyways).
The Cs would only really differ from the As/Bs in-game if Gaijin goes straight for C-5s or even later ones, which they shouldn’t in case of an early F-22A.

they all have slightly reduced drag from being clipped wing. But won’t have a huge effect. Maybe get a few km farther

I am quite liking F/A-18C; having 10x AMRAAMs is just… something else.

It is tediously slow, but that’s not so bad for me, hahah.

So I am looking forward to F/A-18E, which would have even more (+2) AMRAAMs.

True. Only reason I highlighted the US is b3cause every time someone asks for a top tier ground vehicle for them, a lot of people just respond “hurr durr you just got 3763874 new high tier planes, just be happy”.

maybe even less maneuverable because smaller wings

idk, i heard they did something to counteract that but not sure

AIM-120B replace with AIM-120C-5, AIM-9X (Blk I) instead AIM-9L and add AIM-120C-7 after expand max BR to 14.7 or 15.0 in the future

Another guided Air-to-Ground munitions no AGM-84K SLAM-ER, AGM-154C JSOW and GBU-12F/B dual mode laser guided bomb (DMLGB)

F/A-18E early (Block I) early 2000’s era (2001 ~ Q2 2003) unlike F/A-18E (Block II) 2018 ~ 2020

no HMD alert

Eh, it’s an AMRAAM bus, it would be fine without HMD and/or HMS

Not really, they got JHMCS in 2003

not many reasons to play what is basically an f18c late with 2 extra amraams but slower and less maneuverable and no hmd and with the same radar (an f18e block1 with or without hmd is basically a worse f18c late until you get to fire the 2 extra 120s assuming you even manage to survive to that point)

Indeed! The high AoA capability is my favorite thing about the Hornet, and let’s be honest…Square Intakes look way better than round ones…
