The F-18 is a small, fast Fighter found on the Nimitz based from its real life counterpart; The F/A-18 Hornet.

Description

The F-18 is a Fighter exclusive to the Nimitz. It is a small sleek ship that, alongside it's high top speed, has a relatively easy time dodging enemy fire.

Appearance

The F-18's appearance is that of a modern Fighter aircraft with design and shape similar to the F-A/18 Hornet.

The Interior of the fighter is nothing more than a small cockpit containing the pilot's seat.

Advantages

  • Balanced Shield and Hull firepower.
  • High Top Speed and small size makes it difficult to hit.
  • Spawns in fairly high quantities on the Nimitz, up to 11.
  • Has 90% Drift, like all other Fighters.

Disadvantages

  • Has low firepower compared to other Fighters.
  • Can easily be shot down by AA ships.
  • Extremely high cost to have all fighters in use at once.

Strategy

  • Swarm the enemy with your 11 fighters on the Nimitz. Even a Super Capital Ship may retreat from your swarm.
  • Focus on swarming and destroying AA Ships like the Ampharos or Hyron first, as they will shred you if left alone.
  • Use the ship's high maneuverability to get into the blind spots of larger ships.

Version History

  • Added in an unknown Version.
  • Replaced the Foxfire due to the model being reverted in Version .75a5
  • Removed from the game due to reversal of the Nimitz model in an unknown version.

Trivia

  • One of, if not, the only Fighter class ship that has its appearance fit the ship category's namesake its in.
  • Based from its real life counterpart; The F/A-18 Hornet.
