Might not be good for Youtubers.
Wikipedia: The Super Hornet is an evolutionary redesign of the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The Super Hornet's unique wing and tail configuration can be traced back to an internal Northrop project P-530, c. 1965; this had started as a substantial rework of the lightweight F-5E with a larger wing, twin tail fins and a distinctive leading edge root extension (LERX). Later flying as the Northrop YF-17 "Cobra", it competed in the United States Air Force's Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program to produce a smaller and simpler fighter to complement the larger McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle; the YF-17 lost the competition to the YF-16.
Weapons are not fireable without an active target, but you can drop the drop-tank. You can take off from the water, but you need 190mph, only obtainable by dropping the drop tank. Not completely accurate as it does use water stabilisers and a third front engine, but it still tooks and works very good. Enjoy :D
