No it shouldnt be.
It speaks about all german typhoons
Suggestions are only for specific variants
Seriously think a moment before saying stuff like that

Man practice reading comprensión before thinking You are getting attacked
This is only partly true. Datalink was a huge reason why some of these things died. We don’t have it in game, but you can cold launch Aim-120s, Aim-9Xs and other AAMs and use ground based, AWACS, Ship based etc RADAR to guide them remotely. This is why the F16s with Aim-120C-7s and Aim-120Ds in Ukraine is such a big deal. Essentially the missile will give no warning, and the fighter doesn’t need to lock onto the enemy aircraft. The missile can be guided by multiple points in the chain with the fighter not getting involved. The enemy won’t know any better until the missile goes pitbull and at that point you have roughly 8 seconds to determine what it is, where its coming from, and how to evade. 8 seconds is not long in combat. Datalink was a huge game changer. As seen by Captain Hwang who shot down two Mig-29s by himself in 1999 with his F15C.
Their is a very good paper on this here: https://www.sto.nato.int/publications/STO%20Meeting%20Proceedings/STO-MP-AVT-307/MP-AVT-307-19.pdf

lets say it is gripen vs eurofighter dogfight. Who would potentially win in terms of turning and a gunfight
Pretty sure the Eurofighter wins there

Typhoon ofc, better engines, better speed, acceleration, maneuverability, better airframe and better guns and weapons management
Same gun

Meant to say missiles
pretty sure the grippen is rated to carry any armament the eft can as well

Gripen is rated for all Nato munitions.
Ngl never know that, although a plane that is two decades old and still in severe should have the same lvl of armament
That depends on if they nerf the EFT’s aoa like the gripen. Currently the gripen only has about 16° degree aoa instead of its actual aoa. The E model is also the most likely counterpart which has the better engine and avionics and is still smaller than EFT. Again it all comes down to how gaijin models them and what they decide to nerf for the sake of balance.

This is just the C model
Again, the reason for the AGM 65 and such is because the munitions used by the current countries is stuff thay is currently a bit too advanced for the game. I assume when every nation has a carrier for brimstone and such we may see them added. Definitely looking forward to brimstone grip and EFT

To make things clearer how many Grepin versions is left to be added
Depends on gaijin. We could add a two seater without a gun that has the exact same armament.
Most likely would be 2 gripens left since the A was added way to late and now sits as a Psuedo C model and not an A
The gripen NG which is a C model which has a few modifications that the E would have and then ofcourse the Gripen E which has the slightly bigger body and newer engine that gives the vehicle a better Thrust to weight. Then thats it
Again the thing im most curious in is ECM and EW the gripens specialize in electronic warfare over stealth which between the EFT carrying 12 missiles the E carries 10 whilst staying smaller. Basically just F-5 syndrome.
Do the EFT’s also focus in ECM and such?

Depends on who ordered them. Germany ordered the EF-T EK model which has the wingtip jammers. Although I don’t see us getting towed decoy pods (Tornado should be first to see these) anytime soon. The way the game is setup, towed decoys might work in Sim battle, but not in furball anyways.
those didnt have towed decoy pods
Well the F3 Tornados did
