UK and Italy also have Aim-120Ds, they probably are compatible and I recall something from somewhere about Germany exploring running 2x IRIS-T + 2x Aim-120D + 4x Meteor on their Typhoons, but CBA to go looking for the source.
But they could just add C8s which would probably be modeled to be the same as Ds anyway
Yup. Buffing the C5 doesn’t get the US up to Eurofighter level, it just ensures Typhoon is also buffed while the US stays behind them while buffed as well.
Yep. Though still need C5s to be buffed to be on par with R-77-1 and MICA EM at the bare minimum.
“And supporting German and shared NATO planning, training, and operaional requirements.” This is vague but basically if it comes to terms that there’s not enough meteors, Germany can equip aim120d if they want to their typhoons. There’s no restriction on the typhoons for the aim120D. Its just that they’re already testing and have meteors for typhoons.
Of course, but what missile is in Warthunder that has been added onto a plane where there isn’t proof of integration at the very least?
Just because Germany can do it doesn’t mean that’s proof of integration.
What M113 would the US get? There was the one with RR, but I’m not exactly sure I would call that a light IFV…
UK, Germany, and Italy will prob have to wait a couple updates before we get c8 or D, looks like Gaijin wants to add next gen missiles like meteor with 5th gen.
If they were to fix/buff them there wouldn’t be a need for these
Oh, btw, anybody else notice that Gaijin STILL hasn’t fixed the MIM-72E to be smokeless
Hey. A separate announcement will go up when that time comes.
Hopefully its with not after
If they fixed or buffed them then the US planes would still be inferior to Eurofighter……
Its an AMRAAM, there’s nothing to prove when it uses the same launcher rack as the other AMRAAMs.
There still needs to be proof of integration even if it’s compatible. Usually it’s just a small software update so that the missile launch envelope from the increased missile ranges is translated to the computer, but there still has to be some form of integration even if it’s a minor one.
The mental gymnastics you’re going through to justify the typhoons not getting Aim120D is insane
For. Their. F-35.
Eurofighter wise only Germany fields AIM-120D (it’s technically called AIM-120C-8, only for exported to countries and not the US of A) on their Eurofighters still.
Hey smin, is there any information that you can give on if the AAM-4B is coming to japan? Since its between a C and D series amraam in terms of performnace, I and others are really hoping it comes along with this patch.
Nevermind found your other post on it.
PL-12A is not dual-pulse… it’s the same propulsion type as the regular PL-12, the motor is just better.
None of what you’re saying now is what’s actually happening. Please read properly.
Ohh yeah Shar and Tomcat spend a LOT of time playing.
They served the same role after all.
