[Poll] Petition to have F 18 F added to US tree

Not right now, but within the next few months when the push BRs up again.

We’re bound to see 14.3 premiums and at that point we’d all rather see it as squadron vehicle.

It’s explained above, and doesn’t affect anyone where I’ve proposed it. In a game that prides itself on its military vehicles, and having the most in a game, in addition to “realism”, holding back iconic vehicles from the tree they originated in is counter to that. Foldering also wouldn’t affect you, or anyone else that doesn’t want to grind it.

top rank planes don’t get foldered

Top vehicles do, and look at the hawk 200, top changes every patch

Not a top ranked plane

Is there a rank IX plane that’s foldered?
I don’t remember seeing one

It was a recently added vehicle that was the top addition for the update that they were introduced in that tech tree. Rank has no bearing on foldering

the highest rank vehicles don’t get foldered
I don’t see how the F-18s will be an exception to that rule

Vehicles are foldered based off of Dev Server and forum feedback, general idea of capabilities relative to vehicles that are similar, same model. Top Ranks haven’t had enough of a reason for this yet. I’m proposing a situation that does.

firstly its an RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) plane not a main UK British one.

theoretically they should be identical however that is provided the Aussies and Yanks use the same stuff on them. The British and american harriers are a good example of Technical compatibility (mostly) but have different loadouts

Time to start grinding the UK tree. Luckily for you, UK has fun premiums at just about every part of the tree.

Depends on if the US Super hornet is a Block I, II, or III.

Australia only ever received Block II airframes.

Gaijijn would absolutely just reskin the RAAF one so the block doesnt matter too much.

they love their C&P

It constrains the stores that they have available, so it does at least matter in part.

It’s a block 2

uhh, ignore my custom localisation

The British tree has the highest highs and the lowest lows and very little in between.

Ok?
The F-14’s supposed to be a Block 65, but is modeled after a Block 130
The US F-16A’s a nonspecific “Block 10” airframe that lacks the antenna it needs to actually be a Block-10.
The US F-4’Es somehow a non-DMAS airframe, circa '72 armed with Mavericks (let alone the GBU-15)

I could go on but I’m just making the point that if you truly look hard enough practically nothing is actually correct, or lines up in the US tree (outside oddly enough the A-7D which for some reason is practically perfect, outside the AAR-45 LANA pod not needing the A2G radar to be slaved, and not actually being a targeting pod)

I hope it might be F/A-18F (under the name Block I or early) someday

F-4E in mid 80’s post DMAS upgrade ?

I guess on dev server maybe late service and upgrade to Block III standard

Sure, but I’m not really sure that it would be all too unique, If I could only add one more Hornet I’d personally prefer to add a Late USMC F/A-18D, since it has the most significant differences to the ones available to the US at the moment.

Not according to the intended configuration that has been used repeatedly deny reports, which can be seen in the report linked in the prior response.

certainly possible, but for WT all it would mean for now is some changes to the cockpit, and the potential for advanced stores (AGR-20(F), AGM-187A, AGM-158, ?SiAW?, P-JDAM, etc.) in future.
