OVERVIEW:
The F/A-18C Hornet is a single-seat, multirole strike fighter. The Hornet was conceived as a multi-task aircraft that could perform the roles of fighter and attack. With its entry into service with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the F/A-18C has replaced older, single role machines like the A-4 Skyhawk and F-4 Phantom II. The F/A-18's combat debut was over Libya in 1986 during Operation El Dorado Canyon, later during Operation Desert Storm the F/A-18C performed round-the-clock day and night sorties with great success, despite the loss of two F/A-18s. Both U.S. Navy and Marine Hornets have been continuously used in Operation Southern Watch and in the Bosnia and Kosovo campaigns in the 1990s. Hornets and Super Hornets have been used in Operation Enduring Freedom and in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The F/A-18C and twin-seat D models are the result of a block upgrade in 1987 incorporating upgraded radar, avionics, and the capacity to carry new missiles such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missile and AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-84 Harpoon air-to-surface missiles.

Other upgrades include the Martin-Baker NACES (Navy Aircrew Common Ejection Seat), and a self-protection jammer. A synthetic aperture ground mapping radar enables the pilot to locate targets in poor visibility conditions. C and D models delivered since 1989 also include an improved night attack capability, consisting of the Hughes AN/AAR-50 thermal navigation pod, the Loral AN/AAS-38 Night Hawk FLIR (forward looking infrared array) targeting pod, night vision goggles, and two full-color (previously monochrome) MFDs and a color moving map.

It should be noted that the F/A-18C/D variants are now called Legacy Hornets, or at least every Navy and Marine Officer I've talked to has called it that.

That is true but they are called "Hornet" in the games and we use the ingame name for the planes.

Oh, Ok...well the developers over at Namco-Bandai need to get it together and show it as the Legacy Hornet, and I don't understand why the F-16 is shown as being better in most games...even though I've proven to my brother and my uncle it's not the quality of the plane, it's the skill of the pilot.

The F-16C IS better then the Hornet in everything except the very narrow envelope of low speed, high alpha.

I do believe unless I heard wrong that the YF-16 beat the YF-17 but then the F/A-18 beat an F-16 in a duel

ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.
