The F/A-18 Hornet fighter, used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Gulf War and Afghanistan, will be available in US F/A-18A and F/A-18C versions, as well as the Finnish F/A-18C. Its combat arsenal includes the Walleye ER/DL guided bomb.

The maps that will receive a graphical upgrade and design tweaks for a more immersive experience are Advance to the Rhine, Sinai and Jungle. The title is constantly evolving and another update is a continuation of that.
