Probably, depends on how generous Gaijin is with it.
But right now I plan on skipping the Legacy Hornet in favor of the Tomcat D and the Super Hornet. I just don’t think it’ll be worth playing.
Smin confirmed that the F/A-18C will come to America when it’s first added.
Well…
Sweden doesn’t need it bc gripen does similar ability, Germany definitely doesn’t need it since they’re getting eft, and US is original operator country. Will US naval fighters be the only ones not spammed to every other nation in game?
And thats how it should be

Germany will have F18 regardless for diversity
Gripen is not similar what? Lets be real and not pretend drag is properly modeled. The gripen doesn’t have the missiles to be on par with F15 or any of the new fighters. Limited to 4 missiles with a poor TWS is just a bad combo. Finnish MLU 2 has better engines new radar, 10 ARH, and access to BOL and it helps to bring a different play style to the nation. Yeah sweden definitely doesn’t need the hornet. Just like the US really needs the finnish hornet lmao.

They shouldn’t? It’s not a German jet, has nothing to do with germany, and you are getting one of the best 4.5 jets now. If you wanted diversity you should’ve played something else
It’s called a subnation. SWISS f18. I don’t choose what Gaijin adds, but Gaijin will give Germany f18 because of the limited options in its tree, simple as that.

True
I mean I don’t see why it couldn’t come to US, but if there is a US C with the better engines I would infinitely prefer that over anything finnish
Why aren’t you saying this for all the F16s for the other nations?
I dont remember if theres a legacy hornet with better engines, pretty sure they used the same engines they just dont have BOL
finland has the bol im p sure
Yes, i just dont remember if the US used the same engines as on the MLU 2
J35Ö is unlikely to go to Germany, as the SAAB-105Ö did not. They could get the swiss export variant though.
I hope gaijn goes over swedish air with a fine comb and fixes the gripens/viggens/drakens, since it wiuld greatly improve our situation. Add the F/A-18 on top of that, plus the F-35 (The modern one) when it comes and the Flygsystem 2020 in about ten years.
Tbh French F-16 should be promptly removed, same with AJ once Japan finally gets the F-2 (AJ owners will immediately get F-2, and if they have AJ spaded they will get F-2 spaded, is how I would do it)
Italy actually operated them, and actually sorta needs a fighter there, same with Israel who modified them. Whether China needs that F-16 is debatable but since they have ROCAF they get it.
I mean what’s stopping a US one from using BOL, same pylons no?
Realistically the idea of gaijin wanting to touch the draken is unlikely as they either over tier them and nobody wants to play them or they might undertier them.

Upgraded pylons to mount them. Additionally you’d need to prove the US used them. Unless you’re britain then you can just say whatever and get it. SAAF gripen having MS20 upgrades for no reason.
Not how they do it, it will simply remain for those that already have it/have researched part of it.
