Probably BOL as an option too
Ground payload for the Typhoons I think would be quite limited until later versions. I think it would only be BL755 CBUs. So I’m guessing something like 540s or 1000lb bombs as placeholder. Britain would still rely on CAS jets like the Tornado Gr4 and Harrier Gr9A at top tier
Im fairly sure that the DA.2 would be a purely A2A fighter as i never saw any reliable sources with it carrying any ordinance, the DA.4 on the other hand did carry the paveways i think
Just going by the Britain Typhoon thread,.has BL755 listed and usually those threads have half decent sources.
Though would make sense just for testing for it to have some light A2G. But yeah 99% A2A

There are photos DA2 fitted with lots of weapons (including stuff production Eurofighters never got). Whether they are integrated is another matter:

I know for a fact that the Brimstones were purely for display as they were only really mounted for the (paris, i think) airshow that the bottom two pics are from. I would also assume the Meteor would be a bit of a stretch as that would put it way higher than even the production Eurofighters.
Paveway is a possibly however, if I still had access to edit I would have added it :(
Planned armament or something so they can pick and choose but some capability would be useful even if basic A2G weaponry to give it some limited use.
+1, idk why the italian DA7 was passed last year but this hasnt yet

+1 would be nice to bolster the high end British air

+1 with the RB199 engines for a 13.7 Eurofighter for Britain, alongside DA.1 for the Germans.
It’s a shame that Italy doesn’t have an equivalent Typhoon airframe, but at least they have the F-16 to plug the Tornado → Typhoon gap, whilst Britain and Germany don’t have anything except subtree content in terms of fighters between 13.0 (Tornado F.3 Late and F4 ICE) and 14.3.
Da1 and da5 for Germany
In what way would DA.5 be meaningfully different from the current 14.3 tech tree Eurofightter? It will have the same engines, avionics, and weapon options, and sure you could maybe restrict the armament but I don’t think there’s anything you could change that would knock it’s BR down in either air or ground.
I suppose it could be an option for a premium or event vehicle now that 14.3 isn’t top tier, but there’s a load of others Typhoon options for that too.
They could limit it in some ways or just add it for a event/premium within a few years as its a very cool stepping stone to the eurofighter as a whole tbh tho da1 would be the coolest if they used the older engines and just 9l/I or iris-t
