Or rather than CF-18 they could get the RAAF one because it has ASRAAM and the usual commonwealth and royal family and colony stuff (After all it is the ROYAL Australian Air Force)
It’s also the Royal Canadian Air Force. Both are commonwealth nations and share the same royal family.
Yeah I was just kinda saying it might be a little more unique compared to C+P with new name
I mean only the 80s is C&P, so 80s F/A-18A is what it’s a C&P of. However, Canada has done plenty of domestic upgrade programs since then.
Besides Australia can provide Super Hoernts well, and Canada can only do legacy. So I’d rather it be Canada for the legacy Hornets than we get Australian Super Hornets.
(Besides CF-188 sounds better than (roundel)F/A-18A)
Lol yeah
Overall I think the CF-18 is the most likely, if any are added that is. But you can never rule it out.
RAAF Hornet
(Pre-HUG F/A-18A equivalent)
Hornet Upgrade Program (HUG)
HUG P1: ASRAAM
HUG P.2: APG-65 → APG-73, JHMCS, Link 16, ALR-67, LITENING.
CF-188
(Pre-IMP F/A-18A equivalent)
Incremental Modernization Project Phase (IMP)
IMP I: APG-65 → APG-73, AIM-120, APX-111 IFF, AYK-14 mission computer, AYQ-9 stores management system, MIL-STD-1760 interface, GPS/INS.
Other: New IR sensor, glass cockpit, NVD’s.
IMP II: Link 16, JHMCS, upgraded EW suite, ACM Instrumentation System, Integrated EW Support Station.
Hornet Extension Project (HEP)
HEP I: AIM-120D, ADS-B, Honeywell GPS/INS, Sniper upgrades.
HEP II: AIM-9X blk II, APG-79 AESA radar.
To make it clear as well for everyone else the Aussie P.2 and Canadian IMP II are both F/A-18A+ Equivalents. NOT the C. C had better engines. Furthermore I will refer to the HEP II as the A++ model.

APFSDS round being produced. Not british, but it’s interesting anyway. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Usefull info:
-
If you capture a point you will get 200 sp.
-
Full-uptier heli with hellfires = 549sp, Full-uptier tank = 100sp
starting 450sp - 100sp (fox) + 200sp (point) = 550 > 549 (12.7 = 100% uptier for helicopters) = guaranteed helicopter in the first 1.5 minutes on most maps.
HAWK T.1A kinda lines up with it on discord?
😁
That would cause a shitstorm, exactly the type of decision making we’ve seen before…
Therefore it is censored.
Good.
I think its the cheetah C, considering it fits it perfectly
If it does turn out to be, should hopefully see the mirage az/cz
What aircraft do you guys think will be after the Gripen in the tech tree?
Typhoon. Other ZA, British and Indian aircraft fit in the other lines more. Whereas Gripen and Typhoon are directly related in purpose, playstyle and conception.
Best guess
Line-1 (Multirole): Typhoon FGR4 (could also have the DA2/F2)
Line-2 (interceptor/fighters): Typhoon DA2 or F2
Line-3 (Naval): F-35
Line-4 (CAS): Jaguar Gr3A or Harrier Gr9A or Hawk 200
Line-5 (Bomber/Strikers): Tornado Gr4
so yea, some thing happend and
