What's wrong with the F-18G?
Nothing... for the US (who have catapult-equipped carriers) or Australia (who operate them from land bases).
However, Leon L is in the UK... which is building 2 carriers which have no catapults, thus the F-18G won't work from their ships.
He is speaking of needing a SEAD aircraft to operate from their carriers... so they need something else!
