You see, the F-18 A-C models, have a circular intake, while the E-F, and the EA-18G have rectangular ones. Although the Hornet, and Super Hornet, look very similar, the Super Hornet is an almost complete redesign. @PG22
I see, I did some research and most of the other operators such as Pakistan and Iran, have modified them to use the AIM-9, but China obviously has not @Bife
Nice first build, welcome to the SP community! Just remember to pay attention to the aircrafts design characteristics, the F4U doesn’t have a bubble canopy.
Great build as always! @DILOPH just one problem with the design, which is that the nose resembles that of a Tornado IDS/ECR. The ADV has an elongated nose for the Foxhunter Radar.
-ft was heavily damaged, but he managed to drop his bombs on the enemy ship. His aircraft crashed killing Gray, he was awarded the Victoria cross. Some great books about the RN Aviation in WW2 are Royal Navy Aces of WW2 by Andrew Thomas, and Kamikaze Hunters by Will Iredale
Alright let me give you some more history. I already talked about this on Bogdans Corsair, but let me go into more depth. Obviously the average person who knows anything about Naval Aviation would say that the Seafire was the primary British naval fighter of WW2, this however is quite wrong. You see as far back as 1940, the British purchased American aircraft, such as the F4F Wildcat, which was called the Marlet in British service. Obviously the Wildcat, which was not a bad fighter, was getting replaced with newer models. The Royal Navy took great interest in the Corsair, and for much of 1943, FAA (Fleet Air Arm) pilots were training in the United States. Now most of you know about the Tirpitz, which was hiding in Norway. The British deployed a large carrier task force, to attack the Tirpitz, with little success. The Corsairs and Hellcats, being the most advanced naval aircraft that the allies had (most advanced of their type in the world) escorted these bombers, however they did not encounter any enemy fighters. Now it is worth noting, that the reason the Corsair served on Carriers in the RN before the USN, was because it was in fact the British that found how to fix the Corsairs landing problems, however in later models the change in canopy solved this. Now obviously the Pacific was the main naval war, so only a few escort carriers with F4Fs (Marlet) were left off of Norway. However it was here that one of the most interesting Air to Air combats of the war took place. In March of 1945, Marlets engaged Bf-109s over Norway, shooting down four with out taking any losses. Despite being out classes in the Pacific, the Wildcat still held its own in Europe (it should be noted that the quality of German pilots had only decreased to this point of the war). Now back to the Pacific. In late 1944, the British and their carriers carried out a series of raids on Japanese positions in Sumatra (mainly on oil plants). The FAA Corsairs shoot down several Japanese aircraft including the venerable Zero, proving that Corsair and Hellcat were the best naval fighters. Corsairs, and hellcats, served all the way to the end of the war, with many even flying raids over Japan. It was in one such raid that a Victoria cross was awarded. Robert Hampton "Hammy" Gray was a Commenwealth (Canadian) Naval Aviator. While attacking enemy shipping, his aircraft was badly damaged. However Gray pushed the attack, and managed the drop his bombs despite heavy AA. His aircra

No problem! Keep up the good work@PolyIsGone
I meant to make this, so that you could upload this as your own build@Jdlarkspur
Honestly I meant to keep all of this unlisted, but I only recently realized that they were uploaded public@Inuyasha8215
Yes @Inuyasha8215
@ Jdlarkspur Upload this, and copy paste the description, I will delete this one so that you get full credit
Oops you were not supposed to see this. @ChrisETH
@Jdlarkspur
Hey, I made a better version of this, I will tag you on it so that you can upload it@Jdlarkspur
Yes sir. Also has a ton of upgrades that are not really represented in SP. @DimitriIqbal91

Nice ship though! @Doomnolymo
You should make a HUD with English
That was kinda sus @DefinitelyNotAnFBI
Nice!
Imagine if it was 100% off

Wait how did you do the thumbnail?
Lol @StrikeStrikeTheFighter
Gotta to get used to tagging you like this lol@StrikeStrikeTheFighter
Anyway great build!

Nice build! Why does it have AIM-9s?

Thanks @MausTrap1946

Yeah no problem, I forgot how to hyperlink so I just put it in text, it should work if you copy and paste it, but no worries, great build!@DILOPH

Anyway, great build as always, super fun to play with, cheers!
Np! Especially with how long I have been using these @JohnnyBoythePilot

This occurred to me the other day, it’s a weird glitch, yes
I feel as if they are two different things entirely, anyway, great build @AWESOMENESS360
