I mean the “Typhoon T.3” hurts my eyes but i don’t disagree
NO CSP.
You do not want the CSP. AOP or FSP. the reason being (its on Tornado Thread but i’ll summarise briefly) you do not get Datalink/Link 16 on the F.3 with the CSP. And also no mid course corrections. Your AIM-120B now becomes a shotgun with short range compared to D/L equipped aircraft.
In short, bin CSP, go straight to AOP or FSP (which could maybe feasibly get a “what if” HMD setup. why it never got one irl, but the GR.4 did, i’ll never know)

So what’s the difference between AOP and FSP?
I’m still pissed at the FRS’s still being strike aircraft.
Watch when we get the FA2 it will be strike

Nah, naval torpedo/dive bomber
Do we count AShM’s as torpedoes that move though the air?
Potentially :D
Then yeah the Gripen, FRS.1/FA.2, and Tornado MFG and Gr.1B will be torpedo aircraft.

Well they basically have to use it for everything since it is the only thing they have besides their Hawks lol
Further to Morvan’s comment, basically a lot of software optimising. the big gamechanger is AIM-120C-5. which would have a bit more pull than 120B.
My limited understanding anyway
Don’t get why the FGR.4 is in the ground attack line instead of the multirole line, as well as why the F.2, which is basically air to air only, is in the multirole line…
Wait a minute… Why is there an F-15C? lol
I reckon it will be first 2-3 Typhoons in the Tornado F3 line as interceptors/fighters and then FGR4 in the FGR2 line as the mutlirole

Has much better range, being also faster than earlier versions.

HS1200 was what got me, the British F-16 that didn’t get past the design phase due to the standard Budget Cuts

I didn’t know they could split it into that many damn Typhoons to be honest.
Typhoon DA2 (So the prototype typhoon), Possibly a second prototype maybe… depends how much they want to add to the first one.
Then the Typhoon F2
Then Typhoon FGR4.
There is then the possiblity for the next one as well. Typhoon FGR4s are currently being upgraded as we speak. Also options for other prototypes, test aircraft, etc etc. So maybe room for an event one and or premium as well.

Honestly this point I’d rather they didn’t add a gimped proto typhoon. Just give the full fat experience.
Im hoping for a prototype only because it might mean we get one this side of Christmas, 2024. But I think it still would be really fun aircraft to fly though, and still just as competitive.
