This aircraft is a special variant. Although of it, this plane has a disadvantages, so that's why this plane is unlisted.

Another version of the F/A-18A Jolly Rogers, loaded with AGM-84 Harpoon Long-Range-Air-To-Ship Missiles (LASM). They are mainly powerful against enemy fleets, so make sure you choose the right weapon in other situations. Though not as large as a bomb, the blast after impact is still large, enveloping the vicinity of the target.
Although most effective against ship targets, it is also an effective air-to-ground weapon against ground targets at distance.
