F/A-18C Hornet (Operation Desert Storm)

Description
The F/A-18 Hornet is a carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. Navy (early models have been retired). It is an all-weather medium-sized multi-purpose fighter for air/ground defense. It was further developed by McDonnell Douglas based on the YF-17 Cobra prototype designed by Northrop. It is the first aircraft of the U.S. military to have both fighter and attack aircraft basic mission codes.

For aircraft carriers with limited space and a small number of aircraft carriers, a multi-purpose general-purpose aircraft like the F/A-18 is a very suitable choice for attachment. It has been the main carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. Navy since its deployment in 1983 until its retirement. The current main carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. aircraft carrier, the F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet", is based on the "Hornet" and has been greatly modified and enlarged in overall size.

This mod is a separate unit extract from the Desert Storm 35th Anniversary mod in development, so there is no anti-ship loadout

Could you do the project 23000?

Figured it out, for some reason your files had copies in the user folder. Not sure why but ended up turning off sync. Thank you for the heads up.

I second hawkeye97's request. Mod is awesome but it definitely needs harpoons for them to be worthwile to use

Would actually be cool if it didn't need Sealifter. Just Saying.

Tried everything and still can't get the actual plane visible. Strange seeing the missile and hearing the engines, but no fuselage. Sadly I have to unsubscribe.

Would it be possible to make harpoons part of the armament? The original Hornet could carry up to 4 harpoons with 2 sidewinders and a external fuel tank. Long range 2 harpoons with 3 external fuel tanks and 2 sidewinders.

Mod was working great at first, now the aircraft seemed to have cloaked. I hear them, all the missiles are visible, but the planes are not. Just the missiles moving to the catapult

The screenshot shows it on a carrier but I can't get them to launch from custom Air Wings. Can you advise please?
