The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 02.03.2026

I apologise for my phrasing but that sounds like cherry picking.

If it’s just a general guideline and not a clear set of rules/criteria, you’ll only continue to get forum posts/questions and complaints that’s worse for everyone.

I argue that the community should be directly consulted on this front. Directly pull us on whether or not certain rules/Criteria should apply to this shared vehicle rule.

Until then (clear rules/criteria), I’m sorry, but I will contest that it is unclear and by extension, perceived as unfair.

What are you on about lol

The US has both the F/A-18C and F/A-18E, which are functionally identical variants. In such cases, if there is no defined spot in the tree where they can take a new place (Like how the Rafale M can occupy a different line to the C) then those do not fall under what he was talking about, as the US already had/has those variants equals. Thats not to say its impossible in the future, but they are also not part of what he was talking about (Base F-104s, M44s, M55s etc).

That happens and is going to happen regardless of its a set in stone rule or not. People will always spin to see something some way or another.

Feedback is directly taken into account, thats precisely how things like the M44 and M55 came about as common additons in the first place, as BVV explained in the video.

Both of the D and F aren’t needed for the US and would defeat the reason for rank IX unlike Britain and Japan they can come in without messing things up

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the additional ping but since you’re here figured I’d ask.

No plans for it on the camo currently.

And the bug report by chance?

Also thanks

Yeah but there’s no harm in them being foldered for the US at the same time. It’s the same model and same equipment only difference would be the camo.

Yes but clear rules/criteria objectively reduce it and, for people like yourselves, provide a very quick (One that could potentially be automated) response to such forum posts resulting in less clogging

Yes and no.

When they are near, if not, fully identical performance wise. I think there should be a system where players can choose which in the folder they can research first

The 18F also wasn’t needed for Britain. Like I don’t care if the 18F does or doesn’t come to the US tree, but using “not needed” is a bit weak when Britain doesn’t need one either.

The 18F is a continuation of the other Australian Hornets @Smin1080p_WT have already said why Britain is getting the 18F

Imo if there isn’t a load out change I think having the two seat option should be a modification with worse performance in exchange for a different look

Yes there is a line. But I prefer you throw all F-18s there as they are blocking my F-14D.

Edit: F/A-18. Big huge emphasis on letter A

Yep, but none of them were needed. Which is why I’m saying that saying Britain “needed it/them” is weak.

That doesn’t mean I think they are incorrectly placed in the British tree, they clearly fill a role there that Britain didn’t have before at top tier: Shitbuckets with a lot of missiles.

ahhh, a misunderstanding on my part. It read like they decided not to add the hp for “uhhh reasons” at first
