I'm not sure who you think is excited.

 

Certainly I understand not wanting to make a topic political, however an immediate jump to a conclusion the statements are made in anger is also unnecessary.

It's even more than that, 2 versions of the F-4E plus the naval Phantom and then the other platforms. If the Strike Eagle turns out well, Razbam may attempt it one day but even they are neck deep in d

movie releases have no impact on ED's schedule, nor does it influence anything, if that were the case, they woulda waited till 2024 for the Iron Eagle Reboot to release DCS:F-16

On one hand, I'm surprised too. On the other hand, those missiles have to take wear and tear from the catapult launches, practice dogfights, and carrier landings, right? Maybe they kept flyi

I'd be down for an F/A-18E in a heartbeat. But unfortunately from what some of the guys on here are saying the source material for the Block II model are largely classified. Still it would be nice to see the guys from Vertical Reality Simulations bring their module from Flight Simulator to FSX or perhaps even see ED develop a Super Hornet someday. A man can dream right? :D

That will never happen, not even in alternate realities.

In case you are out of the loop ED had stated in the below interview that they currently have no plans of doing the Super hornet. Which pretty much leaves it up to the 3rd parties to do it if they are able to.

Why would ed make 18E/F, that would kill hornet sales. Furthermore, first SH are no different from hornets in terms of radar and +- avionics

 

True, but those extra two weapons stations. :)

I'm sorry but it's a no for me. The Hornet while awsome is just another 4th gen. It's a bit faster, and a bit bigger then the F-18C that me currently have. But doesn't bring new capabilities or weapons. I would much rather see them put their time into a Super Crobra. Or something like that.

Gotta agree with that. A super cobra would be epic.

I believe that I should say it again:

 

The F/A-18F Block 1(not an E, yes, the Echo Block 1 won't have much more capable than Charlie), is much better than any version of Legacy Hornet due to its two-seat capabilities. The WSO(something different from RIO of F-14) of Foxtrot brings great enhancement of SA, much more efficiency of sensor opreating for both A2A and A2G engagements, in addition to larger fuel and weapon capacity, so the Rhino Foxtrot (even Block 1) will provides game experiment much greater than Hornet Charlie.

 

From above, I'm not really need an F/A-18E but I'm eager to get an F/A-18F.

P.S. The F/A-18F has a much better look than F/A-18E.

As a Tomcat driver, I can't see any good reason to fly F/A-18E, but F will be an acceptive alteration.

I believe (could be wrong) that the back seater in a F really has no function that the front seater can't do. Now, if it were a G, thats a different topic. I guess if you want a second set of eyes maybe. meh.

C ->D are Tandem Cockpits that are nearly Identical unless using Night Attack configuration.

 

E->F is not the same.

Im aware of the difference between the CD and EF versions. I take my statement from a fellah (actual navy F pilot) we flew with in our squad who said he didn't need a back seater for anything.

The main difference is that the Navy, other than the Air Force, does FAC-A only in two seaters.

 

Sure, that is a big difference between Navy and Air Force. Comparing with F/A-18E and other Single-seat Aircraft, the F/A-18F and EA-18G have great advantages of Command and Control capabilities, especially coordinating UAV squads, and more capable for multi-mission engagements as well.

I'm new to this forum, so this is a new topic to me; is DCS ever going to get the E/F variant of the F18? I see people trying to give answers, but I'm not sure they are aware that there is a difference between the aircraft. Just curious, I worked on the Super when I was a plane captain in the Navy, so I think it would bee a cool addition for some of us. Picture included as reference.

Welcome to the forum

Eagle Dynamics stated that they have no plans doing a Rhino, but maybe a third party will do a Super Hornet at a later point. I agree with you, it would be a great addition nonetheless

IIRC, VRSim still has the exclusive rights from Boeing on the Rhino. But don't quote me on that.

Aww bummer... Thanks anyway! I wonder if there would ever be a way to implement the maintainers side of things into DCS. Carrier ops for us was pretty crazy too lol.

Give them 5-8 years 🙂 It will make it to DCS eventually, one way or another. The Legacy hornet was released for DCS not too long ago, so it's just unrealistic for ED to unvail the Super out of nowhere.
