Saab made BOL for Finnish f-18 in 2009

Then RIP if true, cause this is a 1995 F-18C we’re getting.
True same bol system is used in tornado f15 ef2k jas39 and Australian f18s
We better sleep, take care. Don’t waste any more time, you know this is a forum.

I won’t change my statements because of your deranged ramblings. I stated historical Finnish F-18C’s never mounted nor used Aim 9L. I didn’t say they couldn’t mount i stated they never had the 9L nor used them on the F-18C. Historically they used Aim 9M until Aim 9X with the MLU 1. The fact you continue to think i am lying is wrong considering you refuse to read what i said which is Finland never used 9L on their Hornets and last time i checked this hornet is on the Finnish Subtree which seems strange because i see a missile they never used on an aircraft gaijin themselves claimed is Historically accurate. With this i bid you a goodnight or day and hope you can learn to read eventually :)

Thank you for changing your statements.
However, calling me a name over me saying “Finnish air forces never mounted AIM-9Ls. And that doesn’t matter because manufacturer says…” is a tad silly.
Then at the end of your post, your post once again claims the F-18C’s manufacturer is wrong.
Refer to this:
Because if it isn’t completed it has yet to be ‘Finnish’ —>

Agreed. If the only difference was RWR and a2g sure, at least it would still be good for air battles
But along with HMD? Really went to far

For me personally as sim player it’s better without HMD. The HMD is unusable with head tracking as it’s impossible to use it accurately enough to achieve a lock reliably, the lock area should be at least twice as big. Also I can easily change between scan and ACM without the third mode in there. The radar control mechanics are really clumsy in WT.
Not to say that I wouldn’t want it as the overwhelming majority wants it.
The Finnish F-18 doesn’t even have a radar gunsight (at the time of replying in the dev server), it makes no sense for it to be 14.0. It will get clowned on by almost anything.

How about a radar gunsight?
Or RWR that can detect K band like the US model. Its a lot of things that just pile up honestly as the dev server goes on.

The radar gunsight “bug”?
Yes, cause that’s a function of the radar & HUD, which is universal.
To be fair it also could already be reported.

I’ve given up on those. They are never going to enable them. There’s probably a bug of some sort which prevents them from working in most planes. I just wish we had a fixed gunsights in all planes. In some planes the non-working velocity vector works as a gunsight. If they manage to make them work many planes will lose their “gunsights”. And they all end up being like the Ayit without any gunsight.
I agree it should be 13.7 if it does not receive HMD, as that has been the case for most vehicles.
Example: Mirage2000D w/o HMD: 12.3 but Mirage2000D-RMV with HMD: 12.7, meanwhile both of these aircraft have the same Air-to-Air capability.
Why does the Italian AMX not have the Piranha missile?
I mean we are not larping air forces. We need proof that it couldn’t mount them.
