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

here [PDF] Expendable Countermeasure Effectiveness against Imaging Infrared Guided Threats | Semantic Scholar

The idea is blocking the seeker with the flares in such a way that, when the missile emerges again, the plane is no longer in its FoV

that pdf link is dead

Works for me

works on archive.org but tti-ecm.org has some ssl issues so it doesnt open anymore.
the linked website here does but thats not where the pdf is stored

so when yall think eurofighter would come

December

I’m guessing this winter.

December counter: 3

1 or 2 updates from now.
depends on how gaijin wants to progress with this; i’d expect an update with “less powerful” airframes but the same or better missiles first…

1 or 3, you mean.

Seeing how germany is supposed to get an sub tree apparently i would say the typhoons are coming later

potential for a swiss f-18 i guess

I am gonna throw my head in for a possible trialed gripen c to fill the CAS role as well.
This addition could come as soon as next patch while f/a 18c might come in 2 or later if gajin wants to add the A variant for US first

At this point they can jump straight to C model to give some tech trees a bit more options. They can always introduce A model later. Or maybe both at the sime time who knows?

they never did that, with all variants they always added the first ones first

They did add the Gripen C to Britain and Gripen A to Sweden at the same time. Tho they changed the A to be pretty much identical to the C

yes and even then its an exception because both UK and sweden desperately needed those
You need to look at all the US airfact F-16, F-15, F-14 etc

On those specifically yes, they were always one after the other

There’s also F-16A and ADF being added in same patch. Mig-29 9.12 was added after Mig-29 9.13 too. Let’s not forget Mig-23 MLD/MLA/ML situation. I’m fairly certain there are some early jets/props being added after their more modern versions.

There’s no such rule.

They changed the A because they weren’t on par despite them being identical eventually as the A models were upgraded to what the C would be. Again it wouldn’t have been a problem if gaijin had added the A when the F16C was added. It was an artificial problem gaijin created same thing with the mig 23ML and mig 29 being added to germany and update later despite them not being that different. Now if the MLD was added the same time germnay got the ML i would’ve been upset also because its not fair.
