The problem of discussing the balance of American-built vehicles.
They are always seeing better variants while they completely forget about the worse variants.
We almost always see F/A-18C(Swiss) when discussing F/A-18C Early, but nearly nobody talks about CF-188A, which is F/A-18A from Canada and which was modified in F/A-18C Early standards gameplay-wise.
IIRC, there was discussion about why Finnish gets the best Legacy Hornet (F/A-18C MLU2) with BOL pods and why F/A-18C Late cannot get BOL, but discussion about the worse Finnish Hornet (F-18C) was nearly forgotten.
Joke take: when American jets are non-meta, maybe DoD excommunicates those jets from the War Thunder Tech-Tree service list.

Unlike the Swiss which got copy and paste US loadouts they didn’t use the Fins didn’t. They got their historical ground loadouts though nerfed. In order to let them keep BOL.
But hmm… I still think I saw some discussions about why 18C Late cannot get BOL, while nearly nobody cared how F-18C falling compared to F/A-18C Late. ‘Because of slightly better FM.’
Tbf it needs to be integrated and set up, you can’t just plug it in and have it work instantly. The Finnish MLU under went those modifications.
Now if all hornets innately had that ability it would be a different story but that’s not the case, only the MLU 2 and AU hornets had the changes made to have them integrated
From my understanding gajin has balanced 13.7 and 13.3 planes by fm model and radar and also weapons the aim120C for example if a plane has access to 120C they will be put at a br of 14.0. The f/a18C late has a better fm and radar and carry’s more AMRAAMs (witch is debatable since the MKk/mk2 are at 13.3) compared to the early I do think the radar does also affect br same way the 120C does supposedly their upgrades wither if they player base thinks it is or not gajin does for a plane to be 13.3 it will not have all three fm, radar, armament like su30mkk/su30mk2, jf17,j11,tornado f3.late,f16D barak 2,j8f, mig29n, f16 ADF, and JA37DI/JA37DI F21 it would suffer from something
The Finnish F-18C doesn’t have 102C, it’s the only AMRAAM Hornet without 120C and it’s 14.0 so why use that for your argument. Pls save us from your embarrassing comments and just don’t comment if you’re not going to use your brain.
arguably that plane should down to 13.7 even though it has the same fm, radar as other 14.0 F/A-18C late
I am using my brain and I’m not embarrassed at all as I can literally see the pattern as why they added 13.3 arh aircraft and why their not at 13.7 with the rest of the 13.7 arh aircraft
No you miss understood the F3 late is at 13.3 because it has a weaker fm compared to it counterparts of aircraft with fox 3 at 13.7 so it’s why it’s at 13.3 same as any other aircraft at 13.3 with arh missiles well it also doesn’t depend on fm but also radar and armament the aircraft carry btw this is just what I see
Sorry for the ambiguous comment.
What I meant was arguing bout MLU2, BOL, and F-18C was…
Not ‘Why F/A-18C Late cannot get BOL’
But ‘If I remember correctly, I think I saw discussions about why F/A-18C MLU2 is the only one which goy BOL, while there are nearly none of the discussions about inferior older Finnish F-18C, feels like those lads cherrypick the better variants when they want to get buff on their vehicles’
Just like how the Swiss F/A-18C has tons of complaints from the US, while the Canadian CF-188A has almost been forgotten, and nearly every complaint ignores its existence.
Again, thanks for the kind explanation about Finnish hornets as usual.
