Because AMRAAM isn’t in the game
Looks like they only photo shopped the seeker of the missile and extended the pylon. The roundels have also been changed and that thing on the right side of the intake appears to have been straightened out.
If anyone is interested i found the EADS presentation for Norway it will be up for 24h

My assumption is an initial limitation to 6 missiles as on a QRA or if we are lucky 8 missiles, then that should just be retained with airframes gaining more diverse missiles (later amraam, meteor, iris-t, asraam).
I only expect they would delve into the theoretical number which can be mounted (not launched or even flyable), should the Tranche 3+/4 variants end up fighting Stealth aircraft where volume can attempt to offset the other glaring downsides.
But in my opinion stealth aircraft should be hard capped to fight eachother, 4.5th gens aren’t viable even with the current known range of the IRST and the AESA.
That’s because amraam isn’t in the game? Sorry what’s your point here?

Is it not obvious that the Eurofighter could arrive sooner than Meteor or ASRAAM and early variants may be limited by the number of certain types of ordnance just like the situation with the Mirage 2000-5 variants as I described?
Of course it’s not coming with ASRAAM and meteor? What is stopping it coming with 4 amraam and 6 9Li though? Which was what was being discussed.

Appears to me the argument is over the number of Meteor missiles used and on what tranche. So again, I’d like to make the point that Gaijin will decide for themselves who gets how many missiles based on their idea of balance.
The M2KCS5 has 2x magic 2 maximum whereas the 2000-5F arbitrarily carries a maximum of 4. The Typhoons are very likely to be similarly limited by the number of certain types of ordnance much in the same way. Any speculation on how or why is useless because it’s not in the game yet and Gaijin isn’t consistent enough for us to guess.
So again, better to collect sources on possible load outs and submit complaints as needed in the future as suggestions.
Meteor itself was never mentioned, this whole discussion was about what the FCS and pylons are capable of…

The EFT will likely be added alongside other jets of similar capability, its loadouts therefore should not be limited due to balance.
Unless of course you are saying the EFT is the best jet ever. :)

again genius, what does that have to do with us generaly discussing the capabilities of the EFT? the implementation in war thunder is a whole other matter

The guy is convinced the EFT and is determined to force his opinions on everyone… like how according to him Meteor is clearly worse than AMRAAM… ignoring the small issue of Meteor being powered throughout flight, outranging AIM-120D, having the largest known NEZ of any weapon in service… because it’s not a “medium range missile”
the guy is a waste of time lmao
And if you don’t believe me, MBDA’s own website says about the NEZ, the thrust throughout flight on its own page. METEOR | Air Dominance, AIR SUPERIORITY | MBDA (mbda-systems.com)

Aircraft in-game with similar electronic warfare systems and radars are nerfed, not having things such as MAWS or not yet implementing jammers. These aircraft likely aren’t going to receive all of these or their best ordnances and load outs simply because of balance. If you think that had anything to do with flight performance you’d have been mistaken.
And I say again if you got better source then post them no point saying their source is wrong when you don’t link yours

Yeah pretty much, @MiG_23M is wrong because he cant prove anything he states, he pretty much is only jabbing while we underline what we say with sources shrug
Honestly when one only jabs for the sake of jabing. One might just wanna stay quiet and not embarras themself

Yea I haven’t had a flag spam in over a week soon as I speak to him I get it.
Seems pretty obvious it’s him

Its aleays been him, some of the tech modes know it as well and have said its a real problem but they personally cant do anything about it.
Not even sure why he comes to the Eurofighter topics since last i spoke to him, he despised the plane and thinks its terrible. Probs only here to start drama.

True enough, hence the block lol. If anyone has a DCS account actually, it might be a good idea to reach out to TrueGrit and see if there’s any info they can/will provide regarding weapons stores limitations for the Eurofighter, seeing as the entire company is made up of ex-Eurofighter pilots, and iirc are working with Eurofighter directly on the module (as to what they can/cant model and stuff), they’d likely be the best source of information available publicly that might actually respond.
That being said, they may see it as a “rival” game and refuse.

i’ve been told by someone who works on the EF that it is in fact just an issue of doing the carriage, jettison and launch qualifications/tests. the space, adapters and wiring is there. it just hasn’t been done due to financial reasons (industry doesnt want to pay for it and they prob wont get the money from any governments as its kinda unnecessary for them)
