I don’t think you understand, The Premium Swiss hornet is literally a copy of the F/A-18C late minus the AIM-120s and HMD.
Meanwhile the US Premium F/A-18C “Early” is heavily downgraded by comparison and sports actual “Early” equipment as it lacks a number of components that the Premium Swiss hornet and the actual F/A-18C “Late” sport.
I would refer you to here for more info - Premium F/A-18C unnecessary asymetry
The Swiss hornet is not an “Early” hornet, it is a “Late” with a different weapons load and a missing HMD.
I’m not sure you did understand what I meant, which is exactly that the early/late designations are misleafing.
I wasn’t talking about the aircrafts tech details or capabilities at all.

Once again you miss my point, people are using the term “Early” when referring to the Premium Swiss hornet equating it to be the same exact pack as the US Premium “Early” hornet but in the German tree, its not.
Its an inaccurate use of the term “Early” and its being thrown around here and on the reddit as fact, I seek to stop such use of the term.
To that same end, the first Swiss built F/A-18Cs, namely J-5002, would be far more in line with the actual “Early” US F/A-18C as it’s equipment would be nearly identical minus the upgraded engines, yet, such is not the case in game.
Even putting (1996) next to it’s name would not be properly indicative as the Swiss Premium hornet sports equipment from the second batch post 1999, which is far more accurately related to the “Late” hornets in game.
