Meh, it will get whatever 120C is in the game by that point for balance purposes. Same as with UK’s 39C using SkyFlashes & 9Ms (South Africa had neither, and IRIS-T would be too overpowered).
Huh so id assume we’ll get a eurof without these missiles first and then a second variant with meteor and iris t.
Will the german vesrion have irst?
depends on gajin, they arent standard on our eurofighters but we do have them for testing etc
and keep it open to install them at any point
That being said, it could be balanced with germany being the only nation to receive the AMK-Kit for the eurofighters

What is the amk kit?
Its a mod for the EF that increse AOA by 45% and roll by 100%
Aerodynamics Modification Kit
Developed as part of a wider Eurofighter Enhanced Manoeuvrability (EFEM) programme, the AMK package of aerodynamic upgrades is expected to further enhance the aircraft’s agility and weapons-carrying ability.
Upgrades include primarily the addition of fuselage strakes and root extensions to increase the maximum lift created by the wing by 25%.
This will lead to an increased turn rate, tighter turning radius, and enhanced nose-pointing ability at low-speed, which form the critical fighter capabilities in air-to-air combat.
"We saw angle of attack values around 45% greater than on the standard aircraft, and roll rates up to 100% higher, all leading to increased agility. The handling qualities appeared to be markedly improved, providing more manoeuvrability, agility and precision while performing tasks representative of in-service operations.
It is a slightly sour point for many UK players that theoreticaly only germany would currently get that one, thats why many agree we should just get standard EFS with IRST for all EFS.
But theoreticaly germany could have the best dog fighting EF

Alright that sounds very good. But someone said smin has denied the eurof? Then which german plane will have active radar missiles?
Do you guys think theyll give r77 for the mig 29? Seems like a stretch even for gaijin.
The f4f ice feels as it will be pretty lack luster for top tier
never owned , never in use
this… sadly just this. Aim 9L(I)/M are required, if gajins wants to make the plane at least useable IRIS-T would work because the F4f ICE doesnt have HMD, so no other the shoulder shoots.
Besides that we gotta pray for switz F/A 18 or trialed vehicles. or dutch f16 etc

Swiss F-18C uses only AIM-9P-5 and AIM-9X.
this could be little sick. AIM-9P with IRCCM… not that usefull in top-tier match.
gonna get aim 9m for balancing, like many other vehicles did currently

hope so…
They use the dual-racks for (SP)AMRAAM too which will be awesome.

I definitely know the Hornets can’t use dual pylons for the fuselage. its only on the wing stations.
