This pack includes: - F/A-18C Hornet (Rank 8, Germany); - Premium account for 30 days; - 3000 Golden Eagles. F/A-18C Hornet is a multirole fighter designed for service with U.S. Navy carrier strike groups. Its history began in the 1970s when McDonnell Douglas developed the Hornet based on experience from earlier projects such as the YF-17. The F/A-18C model is an upgraded version featuring improved avionics, enhanced strike capabilities, and increased reliability in both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions. In 1988, Switzerland conducted a comparative evaluation between the F-16 and the F/A-18, ultimately selecting the latter as the new fighter for its air force. Deliveries took place from 1996 to 1999, with most of the aircraft assembled in Switzerland. The F/A-18C Hornet’s armament consists of a suite of multifunctional systems ensuring effectiveness in any combat scenario. For air-to-air engagements, it carries AIM-9L Sidewinder infrared-guided missiles and AIM-7P Sparrow radar-guided missiles. For ground attack missions, the aircraft can carry unguided bombs such as the Mk.82, Mk.83, and Mk.84, as well as low-drag variants like the Mk.82 Snakeye and Mk.83 AIR. It can also be equipped with unguided rockets such as the Zuni Mk32 and Hydra-70. For precision strikes, the Hornet uses laser-guided bomb systems like the GBU-12, GBU-16, GBU-10, and EGBU-24. To engage armored targets, it can deploy AGM-65E and AGM-65G Maverick guided missiles. Additionally, the aircraft can be outfitted with external fuel tanks, a countermeasure dispensing system, and a targeting pod with thermal imaging equipment. All premium vehicles allow you to earn increased Research Points and Silver Lions and comes furnished with all available modifications. With a Premium account (also purchasable in the game for Golden Eagles) you will earn more Research Points and Silver Lions in battles for a set amount of days. This is cumulative with bonuses from premium vehicles!
