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)
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)
so the german eurofighter is the shittiest of all the 3 nations in war thunder that will get it. Wow thank you germany you fucking piece of shit i believed in your government and your military tech.
Again the Eurofighter in general will be the most meta aircraft I can think of for war thunder.
Secondly as this entire thread seems to revolve around, there is one Eurofighter owned by Airbus and registered in Germany which has all the cool features the UK and Italy bought and put on their production Typhoons in addition to the AMK kit extra.
Thirdly, like its an IRST system, an LWS and that’s it.
All Eurofighters can use all weaponry and systems that have been integrated with a software update and maybe a switch of rail, and Gaijin has already said that weaponry is subject to balance. The UK uses AIM-120 C-5 and AIM-120D so its probably integrated onto Eurofighter, so if Gaijin want to give it to German Eurofighters they can do as it is subject again to balance.
Early Eurofighters will all have the same loadout of AIM-120B and AIM-9Li/M anyway (in-game basically the same thing) considering Rafale will have MICA and Magic 2 to start with I think that’s a pretty good scenario for us as it will be the same armament as the rest of NATO’s aircraft.
AFAIK with war power and clean on min-fuel (30% fuel) it will have the highest T/W ratio in-game factoring in-channel loss its even better, it will be good irregardless of having IRIS-T and Meteor.
either way as well like i said early but which @Misty_wt seems to ignore. Gajin plenty of times gave aircraft armament they didnt use in service as an interrim like UK gripen skyflash and etc.
Gajin will make sure the EFTs arew equal in weaponry
