Also what the community manager meant is they won’t add the f/a-18 to another nation and then add it to the us in a later patch but when they are going to add it to the us every nation that can receive it will get it the same patch just as they did with the f-15, f-16, mig-29…
@@IceLight649 well yes they would get it but I’m not sure they “need” it it would be an excellent addition to the tree but like when you take Germany for example they don’t have any 13.7 planes with their best being a f-4
It'll kinda be underwhelming, honestly. I really do hope the Italians and Swedish (Finnish) get it soon, though. They really need some help; as do the Brits (CF-18 Canada?) but I'm worried about what ordnance it'll be able to carry and if the flight model is correct.
Still hoping for the Eurofighter soooo maaaybe, just maybe it will come to wt with that Update. It would gibt every Single Nation an aircraft if the Eurofighter, Rafal, Fa 18, su30 and their variants would be added
I literally have no idea why the F/A-18A has not been added, idk but it might just be dead on arrival since it should have been added like a year ago, The C will be a good US top tier though.
I mean if u think about it, they can't just shove all these newer planes at us that fast. There's only so many modern jets, and even less that aren't heavily classified and could realistically be added to the game without breaking it.
We do have subsonic version of F/A-18 complete with the actual radar in game, probably just the devs don't want to agree F/A-18 is better than any planes in game or coming in the future in every possible way.
I worked on the f/a-18a-d she does also carry more gun ammo then the other American fighters + a slightly higher rate of fire. Her flight surfaces should be her real advantage in this game. Just look at the trailing edge flaps and ailerons in a picture.
Expect the following: x10 AIM-120A or a mix of those and AIM-9M plus assorted CAS options. However the big thing will be the built in ESP. This might not be added immediately due to the powerful nature of the feature but at some point it will be added. I'm talking about the JHMCS, the very very expensive helmet that overlays data on the visor, data telling you where all friendlies are and when detected, where enemies are. The A-10C currently has this feature, you can use it right now. It doesn't have the feature telling you where enemies are because the AWACS and ground based radars aren't added yet. They're modeled but not added and when they do, it's going to turn Air Sim into ARB in 1st person. Of course if you're strictly aracade or ARB player none of the JHMCS applies to you as you get tags as a default feature.
I am guessing it wont be a good dog fighter in war thunder though. Maybe like the su27 where it has good instant turn but then sucks in the prolonged fight. Thats my guess
DOA, it’s American, it will get the American treatment (Nerfed heavily on release and you have to fight tooth and nail to get it to a workable version)
A lot of people say there is an update before the december one too. I think that in like late october we might get an update as well before december. It might not be big and the dude is probably right when he says that it will probably be added in december, but we can hope atleast...
I don't think the f18 will be doa, for once we have similar performing dogfighters in game and the AMRAAMs are already there, where everyone is having fun except the russians (serves them right for the r27er spam for over three years nonstop) and if they give it four AMRAAMS and two AIM9M instead of the 10 it had it would be a fun dogfighter with some BVR options
I don't know why so much hype about the f 18, then when they realize in the twr they are going to be disappointed, it will be worse than the su27 In DCS it is good because the g that the pilots and planes endure is more realistic but in War Thunder it will be counterproductive I prefer an f15E a thousand times over the f18 It's not like the US needs another top tier plane, the f15 msip2 is on the limit of being op
Thanks for the vid; if it can carry 10 amramms (or as i like to call them spamramms) it realy wont be balanced so hopefully the snail wont let it carry 10 if any.

ok but didnt germany get their mig 29 later?
@@Anti-Airliner no not the 9-12 variant they got the G later tho
So Sweden would get it right? Finland uses it and the only top tier the tree has is 1 gripen so they need it

in DCS the F/A-18C has a 40 mile HMS, i wonder if we'll see that here
Duuuuuude that would be sick
That wouldn't change anything at all in the RB meta, especially how clunky and inconsistent HMS in game is.
i barely see shit above 10 miles on sim, it's good for arb prob

No it’s able to keep up with the F-16 and sometimes even Su-35. It’s incredibly light and has a lot of modern fly by wire.
@@Master_Gabe_Gaming it is not light lol, weighs like 60k lb empty its known to be a pretty big brick when its full or half payload
@@Master_Gabe_Gaming like in rate fight or scissors? Good to know!
Scissors style dogfights. It shines in low speed handling
The Su-27 is a boat in WT stop pretending like it has a actually comp FM
DOA, it’s American, it will get the American treatment (Nerfed heavily on release and you have to fight tooth and nail to get it to a workable version)
Also Sustained Turn Rate STR is a lot more important as a stat to pay attention to than AOA
Su-30 isn’t a naval aircraft I think you meant the su-33 ?
Yeah sorry about that 😅😂
the Su30 is navalized but too early to be added anyway imo
Why on earth would you want a boat that's just bigger not better

1:25 Drop tank moment
I do hope Britain gets a f-18 from Canada so they dont suffer as much
Or the RAAF F-18 will go under the British one and we could the RCAF CF-18 will be an event 👀
@nighthawk1176 I mean it could really be either being an event vehicle but that's a good idea

I guess the f18 will be placed below the f-14
Yeah and most likely the strike 2 seater versions will be under the F-111
What's the expected BR?
pretty much confirmed the only thing we know is that usa will get an spaa for usa
That’s as of yesterday. He was talking about the F/A-18 a couple of months ago before dance of dragons.

A model 12.3-7. C model 13.7
12.3 for the brain rot US mains probably at least for the A model
