the old eurofighters get the missles as well
not really
its the same exact thing
except 15GE you were also grinding to get a worse matchmaker

Except that for now it has the best radar in the game, faster than the F-15E, can supercruise, enough countermeasures, MAWs. Need to say anything more

Yes, but this time they added 3 EF that are the same as the previous one but AESA radar
But that’s still no excuse for not putting it on a folder, neither any of the 3 EFs nor the F-15C GE

@Morvran I didn’t want to be right, but I told you the Typhoon update was gonna be a complete nothing burger. Gaijin is so out of touch, 420k RP for just a radar change.

CAPTOR-E + 2x more AMRAAM is exactly what the Typhoon has needed.
Just did a match and my god, having those extra AMRAAM is lovely.
Im hoping we can get more out of this update though
The grind is annoying, but its clearly setting the stage for ASRAAM/IRIS-T and/or Meteor sooner rather than later. It does mean we can do the bulk of the grind for that aircraft before they arrive, so when they do, we can hit the ground running.
Though a shame about the lack of bug reports that have been fixed. Especially BOL

Maybe for AirRB, but the Typhoon being limited to mostly a CAP role in GroundRB is still pretty garbage with how the game is currently played. Its still not enough to justify not having any IR guided munitions.
Yeah, that is BS and this is the perfect time to add them
(ive added polls to that post, so please support them and comment asking for upgrades please :D )
They should have added new missiles for it like the IRIS-T
- Not every Typhoon uses IRIS-T, iirc that’s mainly a German and Italian thing (in war thunder). Britain uses ASRAAM.
- Hell no.
The grind will be tedious (well, for me it’s a simple GE purchase :p), but anything to not suffer with the Captor-M at this point.
There is actually a photo somewhere of an italian Typhoon with both equipped at the same time, but that is such a balancing nightmare that I think they should be limited to just one
oh great, I thought I’d only have to worry about that Frankenstein Su-30MKI but now this lol
I think they’ll limit it to just one tbf. Italy isn’t known for slinging ASRAAMs around (even if they could technically carry it, iirc all eurofighters have that capability to carry pretty much anything the others can)
I think it was during the Trials, but yes, I think IRIS-T is their primary choice but they are freely intercompatible.
But you either need to give them all both or none of them both to make it fair and I want some asymmetry. So I hope they only get one.
Maybe in the future they will folder them, but they rarely do it upon the introduction, so people spend more time in the game researching new stuff even if the difference between models isn’t big.
I’m honestly not much interested in high tier aviation, haven’t even touched F-2000A yet, researched it quite long ago, but purchased only during discounts, same with Tornado RET.8 (this one is foldered though btw). Seeking for more WW2/Interwar Italian planes + subsonic jets, unfortunately Gaijin adds them once in a blue moon or when some user decides to model something for Italian TT by himself.
The snail is forcing players to grind more now with all the AESA upgrades being non-foldered, they stopped doing folders unless the line reach the 3-vehicles maximum.
Im hoping we can get them to add something, anything, extra to this new EFT to make it stand out more from the previous one, and there is plenty options from things like Striker II and Litening 5 that wouldnt have any impact on balance, to better A2G weapon options that are long overdue anyway to other additions like the upgraded DASS.
If even a few them come along, then the grind wont feel too bad. But I think its quite clear that this Typhoon will be moving up within the next 6 months likely with new advanced AAMs, so on those grounds, its giving us a couple months to grind out this airframe pre-emptively, which is actually quite nice. But the CAPTOR-E is 100% worth the effort to grind, might even buy 1 week of premium time just to make the grind a little quicker.

Btw can actually anyone explain in simple words the difference between PESA and AESA radars in the game? How much better is the latter one?
The differences aren’t modelled in game at all. They’re the same as of now
One has a P and the other has an A
