Boeing FA-18E Super Hornet Block III (Anti-Ship Loadout)

2,938 Cutters127  1.8 years ago

This is an enhanced development of the Super Hornet to give it an edge over the competition.

Introducing my own interpretation the F/A-18E Super Hornet Block III...

This aircraft was one of my projects to be part of my Super Hornet Collection. The Super Hornet slowly became a favorite when I saw that it has a lot of potential and has matured a lot during its development. The current loadout is mainly for anti-ship missions. Also added Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs) on the fuselage to give it more fuel and the cockpit has a new touchscreen feature with interactable buttons and switches (not functioning, BTW) based on some of the photos I've seen about the aircraft. Also added a LANTIRN Pod on the centerline pylon made by TheGreatOneinTF.

The Same Main Controls and Activation Groups as most of my Super Hornets:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Folding Wings
AG3 = Flaps Down
AG4 = Air Brake
AG5 & AG6 = Drop Those Tax Payer Funded Weapons Systems
AG7 = Retract The Catapult Launch Bar
AG8 = Master Arm and Activate AOA Limiter
VTOL Down = Locks the control surfaces into position
Trim = For Trim Controls
Landing Gear = Gears and Cockpit Raiser
Brake = Aerodynamic Deflection Rudders

Credit goes to TDevil36 for the AGM-84 Anti-Ship Missiles, TheGreatOneinTF for LANTIRN Pod and EngineerOtaku for the F/A-18 Hornet as the base for the Super Hornet...

I have a huge collection of Super Hornets in my inventory...
