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.
as i said before, AMK will or will not be part of P4E. and P4E has just started earlier this year. there wont be news on this for a long while

120B and AIM-9L/i, so a bit worse than with 9M.
or who knows. gaijin also just made a 9M for the gripen

I know 9Ms were exported to Europe for Typhoons, I just haven’t cared to research which countries used them or not cause there were more pressing matters to research.
definitely not for german ones tho. iirc the entire point of the 9L/i was to create a 9M because the US didnt sell them.
Maybe italian or spanish tho
however they also switched to IRIS-T
Thats the aim-9l(i)-1 , gajins statement.
They thought about giving f4f ice those as well but then decided against it in the end for whatever reason annoyingly enough “those are not the ones you asked for at the start bullshit”

Well yeah, when IRIS-T was made available a few years after Typhoons first went into service it made sense.
Now getting War Thunder’s flare code to make IRIS-T acknowledge flares realistically… that’s necessary before adding them or it’s like giving 9Ls to the F9F8 Cougar.
its always gonna kinda be like that with imaging seeker missiles. thats why we’re probably gonna be stuck with 9Ms for a while (which also got plenty of upgrades, up to like M-10 or whatever)
