[USN] F/A-18 Super Hornet - USN [Future MOD-II PAVEWAY upgrade]

[andrew123]

I'm currently developing bunker buster missiles, so I'll release an armed version of this jet separately.

I also took some liberty on the accuracy of the replica itself to increase the performance of the craft.

Introducing, the Super Hornet!

It checks off almost all of the performance requirements.

It has four tanks per engine for a total internal fuel payload of 1200 units, along with a 46 unit external drop tank. That's well over twice the range of the F-15E I built... sorry, USAF.

The maneuverability is pretty awesome, too.

I'll be releasing the armed version with AIM-9X missiles and bunker buster guided munitions soon.

This version, the non bunker buster edition, is not equipped with weapon stations. It is easy to retrofit, however.

Another quality replica! However, THIS one deserves +rep!

EDIT: Apparently I've given you too much rep recently:huh:

Don't worry.

Also, munitions integration is going smoothly.

Great ship, but zoom in dude. It looks cool but I can't make out any of the details. Pics in the hanger are far more detailed as well.

Nice! But I think that wings needs work! It looks a lot more like an F-22's than an F-18's. Good job though! Rep for u:)

That's why I said I sacrificed some accuracy for performance.

FLYNAVY!

You say that like it's a bad thing...

I personally like the JMSDF Kawasaki P-1 better. It's engines are nearly inaudible, it carries some of the latest sensor suites, and the Japanese are quite adept at creating networked environments.

It even uses domestic IHI corp turbofans.

Also, the munitions are about to commence active strike testing.

Also, what was that about the P-8A...

The Kawasaki P-1.

Includes bays for weapons.

Nice P-1, but I gotta stay true to my chariot, the Orion and the Poseidon.

Well, I decided to go the Kawasaki P-1 route.
