The way I understand it, the Wildfire is a standard F7C chassis with a few tweaks to the original loadout and a unique paint scheme. Instead of the standard M4As on the wings, you get a pair of GT-870 Tarantulas (the guns from the Freelancer). You also get a mixed bag of missiles, and a ball turret mounted with a pair of M4As.

Yeah, I was very interested earlier this week about it. I though that if was a pimped SH, I 'd swap out my SH for it.
Decided to stay with my SH.
There will be many Super Hornets in the verse but this one is mine! And when CIG allows skins, mine will be even more unique.

Not exactly.

1. The Wildfire has 2x S4 Gimbal hardpoints with 2x GT-870. This is a little bit strange, because the Super Hornet also has 2x S4 Gimbal hardpoint, but you only can fit 2x S3 guns. Does this mean that the 2x GT-870 on the Wildfire are Gimballed or Fixed?
2. The Wildfire has 4x S1 Pylon hardpoints with 2x S2 missiles and 2x S1 missiles, while the Super Hornet has 2x S1 Pylon hardpoints with 8x S1 missiles. If it is possible to mount Pylon mounts from the Super Hornet (Talon Weapon System) on the Wildfire, then you could have 16x S1 missiles
3. The Wildfire has an unmanned Ball turret 2x S2 and a Stor-All Big box S1. At the F7C this Big Box is mounted in the Ball Cargo Replacement. I wonder where they put the Big Box on the Wildfire, underneath the Ball turret?

I believe you can only equip one at a time unless they plan to close the bottom in on another art pass like they did on the F7A Mark 2.
