Yes the BIS was superior to both the SMT and the MF, I remember playing the F-4/FGR-2 before the implementation of SARHM and the R-60 on the 21 platforms made them pretty competitive.
Yes RWR was a massive weakness when we started to receive airframes with SARHMs
It looks like we are past all that now, with the Typhoon looking great
Germany has plenty of experimental or one off equipment additions too.
Let’s not please twist this into something it is not.
With Typhoon, Luftwaffe service variants are characterised by the lack of IRST. It’s one of the main features between it and the other nations variants. We wish to keep some differennces between them whilst also not restricting it’s weaponary as far as possible from a gameplay perspective.
As Ive said, it’s more than possible to submit a suggestion for one of the two test Typhoons that had IRST as a seperate vehicle.
So the German EF is just strictly worse than the others? What’s the point of the German air tree past the second world war if our vehicle additions are going to be strict downgrades from those available in other trees? There is nothing unique about the German EF other than that it is worse than the other two, you didn’t even give it any of the unique weapons it tested.
