Eurofighter Typhoon - Germany's Best Fighter Jet (Part 1)

Because

GmbH is an abbreviation of the German phrase “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung,” which means “company with limited liability .”

So it’s like British companies having PLC, LLC, or Ltd at the end of their name.

I gather that most aspects of EJ200 were quite heavily based XG40, with various improvements.

Yeah im just confused why its Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug/Eurojet Turbo GmbH and not PLC. (Not to say it should be in English but perhaps PLC on English releases and GmbH on German releases).

Though that adds unnecessary complication, i just wonder why they went to establish in Germany rather than the UK.

I’ve seen the same things. Would be cool to see a breakdown of what was actually changed.

There is a paper you can find on google by Rolls Royce that details the XG40 and its stats and characteristics are virtually identical to EJ200.

because Eurofighter Jagflugzeug GmbH is a German company.
if it was a british company it would have been LLC

I think what will end up happening is that they will add various version that were in service then add prototypes and then maybe when there is nothing else they can possibly add each nation will get versions mounting the upgrade kits.

I through that Typhoon is bigger.

its bigger than the f-16 but smaller than f-18. about the size of an f-35

but as you can see the tail is kinda sticking out behind the engines

Germany has the right to install when requested, but chose not due to performance and cost reasons. The best solution would all other nations get it stock, while germany gets it as a rank 3-4 modification

Honestly could live with that, that being said. Multirole get so many possible mods for research because of a2a and ground i doubt their is specialy free space for the IRST

just make it 1 mod with like the better air to air missiles or countermessures

i just hope the german eurofighter will be great, i hate grinding britain

Any Eurofighter is good, the features the German ones lack compared to British ones are not what make the aircraft great.

(Few can be bothered grinding Britain)

honestly with how it looks future wise, i would recommend italy over UK

In terms of Eurofighter? Perhaps for now.

I’d say a Tranche 5 buy is somewhat likely for the UK with both the Defence select Committee and Eurofighter advocating a purchase. Also if the reports are to be believed immediate future Italian EFs will get ECRS mk.0 which definitely has a performance decrease compared to MK.1/2.

As an overall tree, yes Italy is a better pick thanks to the Hungarian line, however once the UK receives proper South African additions like the Cheetah with R Darter and HMD V3 (anologe to the Bison if not better) in addition to domestic high performance aircraft (Gnat, Hawk, Superswift or P.1154) it should equalise or tilt back jn favour

As i always say, British vehicles aren’t bad Gaijins selection is.

generaly overall, line up wise.
It wont matter much if you only wanna play ARB, but if we take GRB into consideration then italy any time

immediate future yes, but likely gonna order the advanced tranche 5s once they are available as well

hungary is considering getting gripen e as well

ok new report from the german DoD:

  • Still only amraam-B, iris-t and Meteor but for all 3 variants a further development is planned (as expected because 120C-8, iris-t block B or MLU whatever its called and Meteor MLU)
  • additional air-ground munitions were integrated (this is either GBU-54 or already Brimstone idk OR its just a summary of everything that happened when it was changed from Air to Air only to Multirole)
  • Taurus on Eurofighter is officially planned as Tornado will be retired
  • the contract for carriage testing of ECRS Mk1 was signed on the 16th of April 2024
  • further adjustments of the Mk1 are planned for the end of this year
  • talk about a multi channel receiver (uhhh new RWR maybe idk, is mentioned next to ECRS Mk1)
  • Increased readiness from before (80%+ was stated in earlier reports)
  • new sensors “among others ECRS Mk1” (ig this just means that new receiver, no mention of PIRATE)

fuck so we have to wait a long time for a german eurofighter withh good fox 3s like meteor? damn i didnt know they dont use the aim120c

gajin just gonna give them as interim, we saw this done plenty of times done in the game already.

Like the UK gripen had skyflash which got removed once aim 120 got added

sad no newsd about AMK either, / i guess not quite the forum for that the design discussion with all nations would come first i guess

AIM-120B and AIM-9M seems to be the loadout to eye in on unless Gaijin makes their flare code better for future IRCCM.
