When F/A 18 Patch

Cope

That’s a sound argument but when you consider that the f4f’s FM is so bad that it can’t even BVR properly, even with better missles, i would rather have a gripen than a f4f

Maybe… In any case, Tornado Gr4 now confirmed, though severly handicapped. But should give us greater CAS power to augment our shockingly bad top tier ground line-up.

As for aircraft I hope for Typhoon instead of CF-18 in decemeber personally, though I guess if Typhoon is still too OP, its better than nothing

I literally do not care what they add, it just has to be somewhat usable for toptier right now.

Ah, then thats the F4F-ICE

key words, “somewhat usable”
phantom is just barely functioning tbh

And how often do you see anyone play it? Oh thats right, barely any to none because it sucks to play and isn’t enjoyable. It was DOA on the dev server and its still DOA now. We can only hope Gaijin will folder it with the late when the F-18 comes.

Welp, seems as though the F-18 will have to wait until the next patch.

I’ve got a question, does anyone know if the AIM-120A and B are still the same game wise? They mentioned the F-15E getting better weapons with the AIM-120B and I’m wondering why they would mention it if it’s still the same?

Maybe they could give the F-4F ICE the 120B since it used it.

This has already been acknowledged but not fixed (its a very simple fix tbh, especially after MONTHS) and so far they are still the same though we need to wait until the dev server to see if anything has changed.

They acknowledge a lot of stuff, most goes unfixed for months if not years. Maybe they should consider actually spending time to get the game together rather than just rushing on with new stuff?

This one is super simple though and, it’s just weird to ignore it.

I mean the Chinese players recently reported armour issues and from data mine we can literally see, all the need to do is delete one line of their code.

Dosen’t need it that desperately? I’d say germany is the nation that needs it most

That’s what everyone has been trying to say, though US mains will cry that they didn’t get it even though they don’t need it and have been receiving a lot of their top jets. Also Britain already has a Gripen so.

Where does everyone think the Swiss F-18 will be placed? My assumption is after the 4F Late (with the ICE being foldered). It doesn’t matter much to me since the last two jets I need to grind for air are the IDS and Su22M4.

I’m not sure they’re going to folder the ICE. Its a Rank above the Late and in a whole nother universe.
They’d probably make it go in the first line right after the ICE keeping it unfoldered, maybe second after the Mig29G (maybe folder the Migs? as the first one is unuseable)
hope to GOD its not in the 4/5th line, still have to do the bombers and rank6-8 of the 4th 😭

Honestly they should, considering no one plays it but yeah it being another rank is a problem. IDK about it being placed after the 29G, just seems odd. Maybe add separate strike and fighter variants?

IDK how they’re going to make the F4s work haha.
I guess it makes sense after the Mig as it’s a pure air superiority fighter since Swiss didn’t have ground ordinance. Then maybe adding Eurofighter after ICE? Potential folder with the base eurofighter?

While historical, Germany desperately needs a better CAS jet. Either in the form of a multi-role or better tornado variant, just something.

I will admit, it is curious that they arent adding the ASSTA3.1 and A200C this update. Only thing I can think of, is that this is Britains second IDS, where it would be Italys third and Germanys fourth
