Eurofighter F-2000 Trance 1

Italy used IRIS-T, AIM9LI, AIM120A/B/C

Anyway, I’m wondering a few thing about Italy’s euro fighter.
How many Trances have been in service ?
Do Trance 1 have PESA radars ?
Because, all in all, amidst all of this suggestion, I think it’s pretty unrealistic that we would see a Trance 1 with IRIS-T out of the bat.
In terms of game balancing, what could be the different offerings of different variants, coming one after the other in order to not completely ruin the rest of top tier during introduction ?
I’m mostly thinking of the propositions that were made for the Rafale in its dedicated thread.
Also, if we followed this idea, would all EF be mostly C&P from tech tree to tech tree ?

1,2,3 and 4 in future

No

The fact that IRIS-T won’t be included for game porpouse doesn’t mean It has to’ be excluded from the suggestion.

Are You referring to the differences between the trances?

Weapons wise yeah (at least irl they can use the same weapons, Idk about what gaijin Will do), but there are some differences, the German One doesn’t have the Pirate, and the Italian One doesn’t have the LWS

Wouldn’t it be T5 in the future?

No, they said they Need the new Eurofighters quickly so the Italian new units Will be T4

They did confirm the new wide display would be included to the new 24 Eurofighters and I’m pretty sure its developed for the T5 but correct me if I’m wrong.

No, the new 24 units Will have the MK0 radar and Will feature the current most recent standard. They Will be probably upgraded in future tought.

They probably would be upgraded in the future, but its been said they will be receiving Captor E MK2 AESA radar (I’m not sure what you meant about the radar), it will be T5 standard and it will replace the older T1 and possibly T2 later on

That were the Initial news, wich were denied by the Eurofighter CEO at Farnborought .They Will probably get the MK2 and T5 features in 2028-2030.

Italian EF-2000 Tranche 1 Block 5 no guided Air-to-Ground ordinance & targeting pod like germany, I think

No? From block 5 T1 can use LGB and TGP and all Italian T1 were upgraded to block 5 by 2015.

if germany have this, yes

Looking at the leak list, this plane is coming next update, which line do you think it’s going to be placed after ADF or ADV?

Would place it after the ADV, seems to be the domestic plane line

ADV would make more sense

What puzzles me is that the Typhoon on the leak list is the F-2000A Tranche 1, but the Typhoon that was passed to the devs is the DA.7. Are these the exact same plane or are they different? I’m not very good with my Typhoons :(

whats passed to devs dont have a 100 percent chance of coming…

EF da7 were the development aircraft for Italy including the da3, Tranche 1 was the first actual variant in production

Not even close to 50 percent of possibility

Ah I see, thank you for the clarification!
