A New Queen: Super Hornet Block III Test Flight - Ace Combat 7
Вставка

- The Hornet has gone pretty far for an aircraft that wasn't supposed to exist. From USAF light fighter reject, to naval bird, to larger bird to replace the Tomcat, to the Block 3 to endure the F-35's adoption. Much like hornets, this thing will not die so easily.
But it does sure kill easily. The Super Hornet was already a good plane in AC7 - improve its performance and slap some LACMs, and you've got an absolute menace. Particularly noteworthy it carries 20 LACMs, a lot more than the Gripen or Rafale, saving you a parts slot. However, comparisons like that is where it starts falling short. The Gripen and especially the Rafale are two of the best aircraft in the whole game, and by stepping on its shoes, the Block III faces heavy competition. I'm pretty rusty to be honest, but even so, I think it loses out against both euro deltas.
But that is a very, very high bar. It is damn good regardless, it looks great, and the 4AAMs allow it to fly wings clean, which is just *chef's kiss*. The Block 3 can be my wingman any time... provided they ever release Top Gun Maverick.

Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet Block III - a new version of a multi-role carrier fighter flown a quarter of a century ago. The biggest changes compared to the standard Super Hornet are the IRST Block II, the modernized and strengthened General Electric F414-GE-400 engine, advanced network infrastructure, increased airframe life from 6,000 to 10,000 hours, new avionics with a touch screen and conformal fuel tanks installed in upper part of the hull (US Navy specimens will not have CFT tanks, but there is a possibility of their later assembly. CFT is a standard for export customers). In Ace Combat 7, the only thing that combines a hybrid of Block I and II versions, and Block III are the basic and standard weapons for the Super Hornet, the U.S. paint. Navy. The main weapons are the M61A1 Vulcan cannon and the AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles. As a special weapon, the Super Hornet uses fast AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles, AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles and an electromagnetic cannon mounted in a sub-fuselage node, and the appearance of the cannon seems to resemble an additional suspended fuel tank. Super Hornet skins are the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) VFA-122 "Flying Eagles" camouflage, the pixelated camouflage of the VFA-137 "Kestrels" squadron, the painting of the "Full Band" machine (he really did not deserve his death this way that is shooting down by "Count"), skin of the legendary squadron VFA-103 "Jolly Rogers", skin VMFA-232 "Red Devils" (interestingly, Marines have never used on Super Hornets, and the classic Hornets will be replaced by the F-35C) , the "Grun" squadron skin and the General Resource livery. "Avalanche", "Beast", "Black Hornet", "Mobius" and "Sapin" skins will probably appear in the future. The Super Hornet Block III as a special weapon uses the AGM-158C LRASM cruise missiles, Brimstone air-to-ground missiles and AIM-120D AMRAAM missiles in an overhead stealth tray, which increases the wing lift and reduces air resistance. The skins used were the Hornet C camouflage of the VFA-125 "Rough Raiders", referring to the Second World War painting of the VFC-12 "Fighting Omars" squadron, and the new aggressor camouflage from VMFAT-101 "Sharpshooters" as a special skin.
What is the future of Super Hornet Block III? The US Department of Defense has ordered 78 units of Block III along with the upgrade of Block II to this standard. But the number of copies may change with the progress of work on the NGAD. Some Block III items are present in the Kuwaiti Super Hornets. Block III can be exported to Canada, Finland, Germany, India and Malaysia. On the basis of Block III, a Growler Block II will be created.
Bro thanks ....
You should definitely get pinged by tuga
I LOVE the look of the new cockpit. People often wonder why I like the F35. It's not the airframe I like but all the systems that are inside and I'm so glad to see that tech being applied to the older jets.
Well explained and AGM-158C has been the very beginning of the game where the B-2 stealth bomber uses it against the Arsenal Bird
Easily the star of the DLC, for me. LACM is just as broken as ever, and they finally give you enough 8AGM payload to actually make them useful. 4AAM is fine, this plane is definitely more ground-oriented, so I wasn't asking for anything more, for A2A
Yes! Been waiting for this. And I think we've all been waiting for ACES to bring out more planes. For the planes themselves, sure, but mostly so we get more videos of you showing us how it's supposed to be done.
Well that just brought a stupid smile to my face. Thank you.
But I don't want them to have to release DLC just for me to show my face. I'm not gonna makes promises to when I'll be active again because I'm tiring of disappointing people, but I really want to.
@@TugaAvenger One should not rush perfection. You could always do an Ace Combat 2 playthrough. 😂
@@TugaAvenger mano Tuga, faça um canal na twitch e vamo bater papo jogando Ace Combat e é isso aí
Although probably the last DLC will be fighters from the movie "Top Gun: Maverick", i.e. the F-14A, F/A-18E and DarkStar, as well as probably the F-5E Tiger II (without the F-5 there would be no MiG-28 in the original " Top Gun "so the lack of the F-5E would be an affront to both Ace Combat and Top Gun fans), this is a celebration of such a huge fan support that it's worth thinking about three more DLCs. Here are the suggestions:
"Fan Favorite Aircraft Series", which would include the Japanese ATD-0 aircraft tree, the Russian MiG-1.44 Flatpack (complement to the "Varcolac" squadron, "Hamilton" skin), Su-24, Su-25TM and Su-27 "Flanker B ", from the European J35J Draken (complement to the squadron "Espada", skin "Cipher ") and Gripen C (" Gryphus "," Messer "," Wisna "), and from the American F-20A Tigershark, X-29A, F-15SE Silent Eagle, F-16F, F-14B and EA-6B (complementing the "Schnee" squadron).
"Series of unrealized airplanes" including the F-15N Sea Eagle, the two-seater F-22B, F-22N Sea Raptor and Rafale BM/N.
"Series of modern aircraft" which would include development versions of the MiG-29 "Fulcrum" (MiG-29SE, MiG-29M, MiG-29SM, MiG-29SMT, MiG-29UB and MiG-29K), development and proposed versions of Gripen (Gripen D, Gripen F, Gripen EW, Gripen M/Sea Gripen), F-16 Block 70/72, F-15EX Eagle II, Typhoon T.3/ECR, export successful Rafale B/C (special skin for Rafale B: Oured Capital District Air Command) and F-35A/B. The F-35 is especially important for Japanese fans of the Ace Combat series, for three reasons.
1. The F-35A is already in service with the Japanese Air Self-Defense Forces, and soon the F-35B will join the JASDF and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces.
2. F-35B from the squadron VMFA-242 "Bats" landed and took off from the helicopter destroyer "JS Izumo", which means the return of Japan to the group of countries with ships capable of air operations
3. The F-35A for Japan is produced at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries plant in Nagoya.
@@TugaAvenger Honestly, You are one of the best pilots I have seen on youtube! Superb flying! Definitely sunscribed for more! Keep up the great flying!
F/A-18 is the very first fighter aircraft that I came to know of in my life. EA games created this game called "Fighter Pilot", which I played when I was about 6 years old. And the very first aircraft playable is the Hornet. Missed those times, and I am truly glad this aircraft has made it through all these years.
I like the paint difference between the standard super hornet and the Block 3. The standard is dirty and is weathered whereas the Block 3 is brand new paint.
In my eyes, this plane stands out in two aspects, that massive LACM payload, and that monstrous acceleration. It feels like it's really meant to fly at high speeds to dump that payload on enemy forces but isn't as specialized in air combat, and even less in dogfighting.
But no doubt it will satisfy all Hornet lovers out there who wanted an upgraded version of their plane, especially if they happen to enjoy ground-pounding more than air combat!
The maneuverability of the plane is pretty good and is only hindered by being half PSM capable only, it's a great choice for no spw lobbies I guess
Comparison between F-35C Lightning II and F/A-18F Super Hornet Block III Variant in terms of Performance, although the SP Weapons are almost identical for XMAAs and 8AGMs, except Super Hornet Block III have LACM while F-35C have Stand-off Dispenser.
The Block III absolutely crushed my Anchorhead Raid score. The LACM spam it can deal out just deletes the 2 naval fleets in the blink of an eye. Also the best 8AGM plane since it has enough payload to make good use of it, especially on something like Stonehenge Defensive or Cape Rainy.
Hornet has always been my favorite plane, im so happy we got this in here alongside the base F
Why no Legacy F/A-18C then !?
USA when retrofitting Jets: Make it *E X T R A T H I C C*
One of the three candidates to replace my nation's old CF-18s, though Boeing and Canada have a very turbulent history that would likely throw a wrench into this option. Unfortunate since it should be easier to retrain our pilots for and would need the least change to our existing infrastructure.
No Super Hornet shouldn’t even be considered it’s an old fighter. Why replace 1 old fighter with another
@@daralcampbell2171 Legacy Hornets are the old ones, not the Super Hornets
@@verticalflyingb737 it’s still an old design, we all damn well the DND ain’t gonna replace them till they hanging by a piece of duct tape and some spit
@@daralcampbell2171 probably because "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"
Aaaaand they chose the F-35
I couldn't believe they released the F-15 S/MTD. That's my favorite from the last Ace combat. Already got that one, and the Shinden 2.
I can't help but love the F/A 18F SUPER HORNET BLOCK lll, next to the Mig 35. Great video 👍👍
While these variants do look pretty cool, I really wish they would add different planes from previous titles. Especially the Delphinus line from Electrosphere.
Complaints aside, great job showing the scary potential of this aircraft, my friend.
It won't be in the game. The devs said they'll only add aircraft that exist prior to 2019 or the game's own timeline (including the original aircrafts from the series so...Shinden is now canonical), so there won't be aircraft like the delphinus, Night raven or Fenrir
How about gaf-1
Literally all I want is the F-5E, J-35J, and E/A-6B. However, if the Top Gun DLC is coming up next I guess it's not the end of the world. I mean sure we already have an F-14 and two F/A-18's, but what's one more?🙃
@@soto1649 very low chance of happening but it's possible
@@November117 there's no reason to add these old planes anymore. In the first cutscene you can spot an A-6 on the scrapyard, so why add them? Makes no sense to me. Also what you said for the Top Gun DLC...IF it is happening, it'll probably be just some F-14 and F-18 paintjobs and emblems, nothing more
I love the turn rate and the aoa
Hope we can get some more cold war era aircraft like F5E's, MiG 23's, or Tornado's down the line eventually
Apparently tornados are no go due to licensing with Panavia
@@shirghazaycowboys really? Aw, maybe a Hawker Hunter or something. Would be cool to see other British/Euro fighters
@@shirghazaycowboys Renew the licenses then right ?
There will be no more Flight games if everything is about Licensing then !?
I want to see the mig 25 make a return to the series. Haven’t seen it since ace combat 5
@@nathanapplegate5374 f5 tiger not mig
Imagine for the next dlc is there even one...
A4 Skyhawk, SU25, and AV 88 Harrier
(no VTOL)
And maybe just maybe. A sea operation taking place during the events of the shot down of the last Arsenal Bird. So no drones or air support for the enemy, no mission updates with weird Aces.
I just want a ground attack mission where i can use a ground attack plane. A big, slow and fat attack plane.
You had me at Skyhawk. God I love that dinky little thing.
I still wish one of these dlc added a F-5 or F-20
On the stats and air to ground department, this thing is a flying apocalypse, But it kind of lacks on the Air to Air, and i feel that the normal Super Honet has the upper hand (QAAMS and Railgun).
Now... while this thing is a beast, what you say is kind of true, it falls a little a short compared to planes like the Grippen and Rafale M that has an overall more balance armament. But still, this thing slaps hard even with it's flaws.
wow you're flying is just awesome!
Easily my favorite air to ground plane. Those LACMs make most excellent ASMs with their explosive power and their extreme long range.
those fuel tanks give me lifeeeee
I always tried to make M09 Faceless Soldier cutscene to be Trigger in the F/A-18F (It seems more convincing to be used by Trigger in Spare Squadron, according to the plot), but the special weapon from the previous version of Super Hornet is too hard/too ridiculous to be used in M09. While using Gripen-E with LACM is doing an excellent job in M09, but in the cutscene, it looks pretty unconvincing for Trigger using EU-type jets. (It should be F-15C/F-22A, just IMO)
While this, makes everything comes together~~
Damn 2 tuga videos in one day 🔥🔥
They should come out with a Vietnam dlc with f4,f5 , a-6, a-4. That would be really cool and some new missions
The F-4 is already in the game. Maybe perhaps they could add the other two as well as the MiG-17, F-100 Super Sabre, and the MiG-19. Maybe some other skins for the other Vietnam era aircraft as well.
"a bit rusty"
> scores 58k
I have to ask, WHICH of the new DLC planes can do some of the Post Stall Manuevers? like can they at least do the Knife-Edge and Cobra? I honestly doubt if some can do the Kuilbit
The Mig 35 and the fa18 can both do Cobra's. But not the F2A kai
really wishing that they eventually add the echo variant such as how the f15c has the f15E
So given how they've evidently shot down the possibility of AC3 planes showing up, I have a feeling the final wave of DLC planes will be three additional real world ones. Maybe something a bit more high tier, like the MiG-1.44 and the ATD-0.
The FB-22 should have carried those LACM’s instead of SDB’s. AC7 needs a top-tier plane carrying LACM’s, and the FB-22 carrying SDB’s is redundant since the F-22 can already carry them.
Really wished they made the F/G and the E block 3 model's !
Somehow that 4aam pod on middle belly kinda weird almost think like fuel pod
flawless aircraft
My favorite aircraft right here.
The machine gun game is crazy ...
This plane's so cool...
How are you going in first person?
Untouchable - Accurate - Stable
😻🇺🇸
Favourite NAVY 💙
I’ve been considering downloading this plane but is there really a huge difference between this and the F/A-18 that’s already in the game?
No
I want f-117 nighthawk
F/A 18D Super Hornet vs su 30
Is it out?!!!!
So this looks cool. Except now I have the Jolly Roger skin. Can it be used for this? How come you only have the block III and not the regular version?
@tugavenger I know it's been quite some time since you showcased your Ace combat x playthrough , but would you be kind enough to tell me about your controller settings as you played it with the ppsspp emulator (I seem to recall that you used a X360 controller). Thanks and keep it up.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Oh yeah these from earlier game finnally
So i recently bought this plane, but it wasnt my cup of tea so i refunded it, but I still have it in my game?
He has muscles💪
Super Hornet Does comes with Internal weapons bay right or team Ace combat forgot to include one?
It has a stealthy weapons pod. It's used for 4AAM, as I show in the second part of this mission. The F-14 and F-22 8AAMs also use the same pod.
started playing ace combat soon, how do dlc and sp mission work? l see people having sp mission below free mission option, but l don’t have it? explain pls
Play the older Ace combats their Better
General question for anyone willing to answer:
I grew up on video games in the mid-80’s until I stopped playing seriously about ten years ago. I hated the idea of online play and DLC.
Is DLC an extra cost?
$12 for dlc on Xbox
Advanced super hornet?
So which one is better?
F/A-18F or Super Block III?
I say the block 3 for is massive payload of big boom boom LACM, 8AGM. 4AAM are good too. But the railgun and QAAM might make a better job in multiplayer
F/A 18 by EA-18 Growler
How did you get all those planes? DLC?
Yea it released yesterday
What I want is the option to add a third weapon to the plane you use or at the very least remove aircraft weapon exclusives, as in if you like flying the F-22 Raptor but want to use the GPBs you can do so.
Or better yet as a nice final DLC the devs can add an extra story part to where you can play as the other Strider squadron characters including Count, what more we'd be able to hear what Trigger sounds like
Thats cool, but can it PSM lol
yeah
Kobra only.Sorry I don't demonstrate it much, PSMs are just don't mesh with my flying style.
not a big fan of those missile pods
Same. I understand that putting AMRAAMs on F/A-18 this way will reduce its radar signature (also probably increase roll rate) but it also adds up more mass than 4 AIM-120 ever would.
I'm not, if I'm honest, but i love you run clean wings with them
looks like the game died
Multiplayer has single player wont ever die
Try as it might, It will never be as good or cool like the Tomcat. Of course a A2G degenerate like you would like this aircraft.
