Well… they did though. All 3 nations did get AESA at the same time, just subtle difference in FoR that I have yet to see any actual evidence has made much of a difference, despite the doom and gloom from the dev server
Yeah, but gaijin is being strict on that for no reason.
It’s like how the su-30mkk is getting su-30mk2 stuff but eyyyy gaijin is consistent at being inconsistent.
Or german eurofighter getting stuff they never had, or Italian eurofighter getting stuff the never had
I also remember the rails for Mavericks on German Phantoms. Ingame Ger ones just mount two Mavericks, cause LW never used the triple rail (LAU 33 pylon?? Forgot how its called).
Ofc its a Phantom, combatible for sure with all others, but thats one point where Gajin is and was very reluctant. You still have to spent 850 spawn points for a Phantom with just two AGMs :) While more or less identical Phantoms from other nations mount six…
That would mean that Gaijin had to employ a rule consistently over multiple vehicles and tech trees.
We all know thatll never happen.
We have an IPA 7/T4 EFT in the German TT, which has flown with F&F Brim 2s, and Germany will start getting their Brim 3s next year IRL…
But hey, I’m sure you’ll happily extend the logic both sides, and agree to the CR 3 not getting DM63/DM83 until the British actually adopt them (fun fact: the Germans are already firing DM83 on BW training grounds on the 2A8s WITH LWS and the 2A7Vs)
:)
Then it’s a T4 by default even if unofficially lmao
Still puzzled how they wanna claim it’s not an IPA 7 when that’s the only registered in the German ‘service’ EFT with an IRST, then again, Smin claims all sort of things.
They are all confirmed to be Tranche 2s as well
ECRS mk2 has only been fitted to Tranche 3 but Gajin were to lazy to model it
smin also said that the german EF got the Pirate due to popular demand
Gaijin try not to put frankenvehicles into WT be like:
Might also be desire to give everything IRST to help counter 5th gens
None of the 3 AESA Eurofighters represent any operational airframes. As none are currently fully operational with all 3 nations.
LMAO, where’s the fixes for the 2A7V cus those are also in mega popular demand since 2023

The UK/ITA ones AT LEAST make sense, the German one getting IRST due to “popular demand” is just stupid when it didn’t need it lol. Feels like a bone throw.
I’d have rather taken Leopard 2/Puma fixes or a sneaky German KF41 D:
Most of the German community on the forum asked for it when the first round of Eurofighters came around. It was again up for consideration this time, but due to the feedback previously, it was decided to add it.
Its not impossible that it could be removed again of the AESA variant if thats what the majority wanted.
Remove it and fix the Leopard 2s and the Pumas
They are all T2+. No Tranche has been directly attached for that reason. If in the future information comes out that requires it to change to a spesific Tranche, it still can.
ECRS is compatible with Tranche 2+ onwards.
The two are not connected.
Who cares, do it
I just wanted my CFTs man
