RAAF use GBU-53/B for F-35A only

I guess devblog RAAF F/A-18F upgrade to Block III standard.

But the US Navy F/A-18E Block II close to Block III

AIM-9X Block I or Block II on wings ?

Unless I missed something in reading, I believe the Blog says the UK one is block 2, and that’s where they ended it’s naming.

24

There’s ordnance that —allegedly— the F/A-18F is able to use whereas the E can’t.

Plus, the 18F is getting a combined CFT/IRST pod named AN/ASG-34.

25

The 18E is getting it as well this update.

26

Did they say if it was a visual placeholder or actually going to be functioning this update?

Currently it is a placeholder on the 18F. Should be coming to the 18E later on.

28

Now what? Would we get it or not?

29

But two seats is kewler, so obviously it’s better 😎

Well since there aren’t any documents that need to be proven, a lot of the what is about exposure to the issue and enough people to get it moved

It is so disappointing in a military game like this, that the actual operator the f18F originally is not included in the representation of the vehicle, capability differences or not, to introduce a new version and then gate keep it. And now to see it in game, not where it came from, is incredibly frustrating.

I remember BVVD himself said that if a vehicle can be added to other tree, it would also be added to those tree. Love to see gaijin go back on its own words

Exactly and theyve used this concept to add F16s, F15s, SUs (J series), Gripen, etc. But this is where they draw the line. Literally the BEST looking f18

Beside best looking, F-18F is also a very iconic jet
