Realistically What armaments will the F/A-18C have in War Thunder

Personally Gaijin should copy the list of the armaments from Digital Combat Simulator

APG-73 Fire Control Radar (with air-to-air and air-to-ground modes), ATFLIR and Litening II targeting pods,
and Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS).
• Air-to-air weapons include the M61 20mm Vulcan cannon, AIM-9 Sidewinder heat-seeking missiles, AIM-7
Sparrow semi-active radar-homing missiles, and AIM-120 AMRAAM active radar-homing missiles.
• A large assortment of air-to-ground munitions, including (but not limited to) AGM-88 HARM anti-radar
missiles, AGM-65 IR- and laser-guided Maverick anti-armor missiles, AGM-84D Harpoon anti-ship missiles,
AGM-84E/H SLAM long-range attack missiles, AGM-62 Walleye TV-guided glide bombs, AGM-154 JSOW glide
bombs, JDAM inertially aided munitions, and Paveway laser-guided bombs.
• DL16 datalink, providing a high degree of situational awareness and teamwork between wingmen.
• ALR-67(V) radar warning receiver, ALE-47 countermeasure dispensers, and ALQ-165 ECM jamming system.

And I think they should add all of the cool bells and whistles slowly into the game, not all at once.

Personally I think saying “just copy-paste from DCS” isn’t a good idea when half of the weapons would require new mechanics to be coded in or would be outright just useless or overpowered in WT

Armaments are a balancing parameter.

Premium means nothing good for the ground most of the time.

You’ll get your Mavericks and Paveways with no new or interesting mechanics added, and you’ll be happy

Yes, because we’ve known for a long time that a gaijin can’t punch above his weight.
