Clearly on topic, its a british weapon system thats yet to be added to war thunder, perhaps in the next update?
There we go:
Had to remake it quickly

Nice if that happens we could get Taurus XD
(Basically Britain wants to buy Taurus from Germany to supply Ukraine)
I mean they could just give taurus to us and we can send it if they dont want to.
Saw something about Japan sending a patriot system? Back to the US so they could send it to ukraine as to not violate their constitution, I might be wrong on the details.
sound like political shenanigans
BOL were changed

In what way
Hard nerfed. Decreased the luminosity and doubled the amount you use each “fire”.
No source provided either fyi.

Less effective counter measures and they put double out each press of the button.
Effectively half the counter measures and worse.

not in use of british servic, you wouldnt get the taurus, no plane of yours would have it equipped
AFAIK what is actually being suggested is that the UK buys Taurus as an interim capability for the RAF until FC/ASW is in service, in order to allow the UK to release more Storm Shadows from RAF stocks and give them to Ukraine.
Similar to us buying Archers from Sweden to allow a larger number of AS90s to be given to Ukraine.

Watch the count, and remember they are less effective.
Man thats Bad, i wonder on what was the change based
Here is the source they got the data from:

I’ve reported the BOL IR change internally. Don’t know how successful I’ll be, but its worth trying.

Issue
In patch 2.33.0.85 BOL countermeasures were reduced in effectiveness and to combat this the release count was doubled. This is heavily impacted certain airframes with the number of available “pops” of countermeasures available.
The increase pop count should be reversed, as all BOL equipped aircraft already carry at least 2 dispensers and even with the reduced effectiveness they would still be dispensing two CM’s per pop.
Suggestion
Reduced burn time is fine.
Reduced luminosity should be reverted (as we do not model the large cloud of pyrophoric material ejected from the launcher which disperses similar to chaff, this would massively increase the capture area of BOL IR)
Increased release count should be reverted, if players want to release more they can increase the continuous release count or release more manually.
Additional Info
As a result airframes such as the tornado_f3 and tornado_adv have had their CM counts massively reduced;
All flares or Chaff
96 shots down from 192
Mixed flares and Chaff
48 down from 96
BOL IR is tuned specifically to IR wave lengths and as a result non of the material is wasted on wave lengths that would not distract an IR missile.
Spoiler
The IR image generated by a BOL release looks like this;
As you can see the BOL IR is very effective at generating a large IR cloud to decoy a missile.
