Gwalker99 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Is the F18 we have in DCS able to fight in todays environment in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc196 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Of course it can. The real question is how well it would do in that environment. I personally think it would come down to how the aircraft was deployed and in what roll. Most aircraft being deployed around the world by different countries are no more capable then the F/A-18C.

VDV Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Moreover, I think the FA-18C that we have in the game is still in active service in some squadrons in USMC. Edited May 23, 2022 by VDV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software our hornet is running is a far cry from the stuff the real jets are running nowadays 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDV Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Swift, not for most countries. A lot of poor countries has jets with capabilities far away from Hornet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair, there are probably still some ancient hornets in the training squadrons, idk if they are still running OFP MC 19C though 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 If i don't do error, and if things have not change in between, some country, mainly Finland and Switzerland with C and D variants have start upgrade planes through 2021 with new electronics etc. the idea is for allow the use of C and D variant a bit longer ( 2030 ) in wait of get the F35 or whatever planes they choose on final decision. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/swiss-fa-18-fighters-complete-phase-1-slep - I7 2600K @5.2ghz ( EK full Nickel waterblock ) - Gigabyte P67A-UD7 B3 - 8GB Predator 2133mhz - 2x HD7970 - EK Nickel EN H2o block - 2x Crucial realSSD C300 Raid0 - Black Widow Ultimate - X52 -TrackIR 5 - XIfi Titanium HD - Win 7 x64Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
