So long as it had RWR, even if it was the one from the Tornado F3 or FA2 or something. It would be fine.
Then I would be happy with a version with RB199 and no Striker I
Its Gaijin and the Typhoon.
14.3 with no RWR
I Updated the Weapons as the 1994 had max the Sidewinder and full Weapons (IRIS-T/AMRAAM) were tested around 2001/2002, so I added them just for the 2003-2005 one
I think in terms of A2A weapons fit there should be 2 options
4-6x ASRAAM/IRIS-T but no Fox-3s
2-6 Aim-9M and 4-6 Aim-120Bs (could be restricted to belly on Aim-120s for a limitation)
I dont see a version with only AIm-9s being that good or that fun to actually play, even at a low BR of like 13.3
Dunno how Snail would handle that, is time travel for Weapons a thing in game?
Technical compatibility
Ok, looking here its a possible
Will seperate the Weapons into its own voting
I thought AMRAAM was quite early
Quick google says 1st test was 1981
I mean AMRAAM being fitted to the Typhoon
Oh,
I found so far just stuff saying 2001

I have no idea, but just feels that 2001, just 2 years before it entered actual service just feels a bit… late.
Would think if nothing else, theyd want to make sure it could actually carry and release weapons much earlier in the development than that
I think that is more about firing in a passive radar mode than actually firing an AMRAAM.
Fairly certain Typhoon FGR4s (Became FGR4 in 2008 iirc) were armed with Aim-120C5s by 2009 if nothing else, would be wierd for Tornado F3s to be armed with C5s and Typhoons not even armed with Bs or C5s, especially given their air superiority role of the Typhoon F2
Ok, this site mentions 1997 as 1st date for Aim-120s
http://targetlock.org.uk/typhoon/development.html
Not the best but makes a bit more sense
Now that date sounds more reasonable
A bigger problem would be no flares or chaff

Ah… didnt think ahout that bit either. Though kinda assumed BOL was fitted kinda early as well
Same, but now as he mentioned it, true xD
No BOL/Internal Flares
Maybe its a sign that it shouldn’t be added to WT

8.0 take it or leave it
Better off with a Tranche 1, block 2, Typhoon. Gives you full A2A suite (excluding Meteor), no A2G but does still have full DASS.
Would be AIM-9L/Li, AIM-120A/B and IRIS-T was cleared for Block 2 but guessing the idea is an A2A Typhoon at a lower BR you’d just exclude the IRIS-T’s.
