No the current F-18C does not have HMS because it is not MLU1. We need to grind an additional 400k RP for A2G and HMS .
TWS allows me to do that exact thing with far more control. The radar tilt is larger than the HMS range, by far.
HMS can never see below the nose, radar can see within its tilt parameters at all times.
My stance comes from many expert players as well as my first hand experience using both after learning from said experts.
TWS is the 2nd fastest next to ACM, and HMD is the slowest method of acquisition for radar guided missiles.
Both TWS and ACM will be more resistant to chaff while requiring less spam from multiple key presses.
I personally dislike HMS due to its inherent flaws over TWS and ACM, and would love it disabled on radar controls for the aircraft I fly. It is a slow hindrance compared to TWS.
To put how strong TWS is, I switched to it entirely for even my SARH missile aircraft such as Viggen.
Yes. if Gaijin really wanted to keep the advantage of having A2G in US
Implementing MLU1 instead of Tin-can-shit F-18C would be better. isn’t it?
I told earlier, “If the existence of HMD is really not a big difference, then why not give them?”
Your personal experience with HMS seems not enough to convince everyone else.
Okay, You can dislike the existence of HMS. That is fair.
But, I think the majority of players like having HMS more than not.
You even can find ‘What if we get a thumbstick as makeshift HMD’ in the Tornado discussion.
I think I saw quite much of furious Nordic players call for
‘Give us MLU2 version for HMS and A2G. if it can’t. then Give us MLU1 instead for HMS’
when the dev server was on live.
They say they want to keep it a unique variant instead of just copy paste. But everyone knows it’s a copy paste that is no different from the US Hornet but worse. If they really wanted to add something truly unique to the 14.0 for Sweden it would be the Gripen E or NG.

They argue that “worse” is what makes a vehicle unique.

Even worse than normal lame version of C&P. isn’t it?
At least. lame C&P gives full access.
unlike ‘worsen for being unique’(Bah) C&P does.
As a joke, the Finnish F-18C seems like
The decision to remove 50cal from every non-US Sherman ‘for makes them unique’.
jesus…

Well, he can dislike HMS.
But it seems like
- I dislike the low-calibre HE shell on my tank. because it is worthless against heavy tanks
- so I decided to bring APCBC with no filler only
- Then spamming 17pdr APCBC to armorless vehicles like Flak 37 Sfl, M44, or YaG-10
- I was fine to deal with them without HE. so don’t whine about HE shell problem of yours. ← seems we are here.
Personal disliking itself feels fine to me.
But Things get quite nasty when he force his personal preference to everyone else. isn’t it?
I don’t remember if the Thai Gripen is different from the Swedish Gripen. If not, the Gripen is one of the closest copy paste vehicles, they ignored a unique Japanese vehicle, the Mitsubitsi F-2. Or they think the F-2 and F-16 are too similar in appearance so it is a copy paste, the difference between the Gripen C (Thailand) and the Gripen C (Sweden) is much bigger so that is enough to create uniqueness.
Later when I go to find a girlfriend, I will say: “My unique point is that I am worse than other men”.

My mistake that was a bit of an exaggeration. I mean it will help you get back into the notch position faster. English is not my mother tongue so there will be some mistakes please forgive me.
i dislike HMS on F-4J only (it rarely works so you’re better off using acm but you have to cycle through hms mode to get to acm mode and waste precious time in close combat situations (that’s why you might dislike F-4J HMS))
Well, We have SAAF Gripen(GB) in this game too.
Gaijin decided to add Darter instead of AIM-120 for uniqueness
But, at the same time When Gaijin didn’t fix Darter/Derby enough to be useful
I was quite disappointed about it and didn’t buy them at all.
(We all know none of the missiles were in IRL SAAF arsenals or integrated but placeholders. then why not…?)
I heard that ‘fixed’ darter at later dates suits well in Gripen, though.
Oh, What about Tornado GR.1 which has an inferior engine which built earlier than its Italian/German counterparts? to make them unique :/
I really can’t get Gaijin’s ‘uniqueness’ policy.
“We decided to add a worse version for being unique”…?
Seriously, Gaijin.

But I’m saying HMS should be on every 13.7. The F-4J is not a 13.7.
Are you not capable of reading the full post? I believe you’re better than that.
Read entire posts before posting.

Of all your bad takes/lies this is one of the worst.
ACM sucks over HMS and you know it perfectly well.
granted it is pretty early hms
being at 12.0
