The Austrian one is the absolute worst one and most likely one to be assigned to Germany (with Spain going to Italy and the UK getting one of the Middle Eastern ones).
Still, why grind for something when you can wait 6 months for it to come as a premium, this just isn’t a rewarding system and would really add a sour taste for the years of research and begging that me and the people on this forum have conducted
Plus premiums should be used for grinding, not being as capable as the last patches’ meta so i believe a rank 8 german premium should be a phantom or mig variant, anything but a typhoon
I agree I wouldn’t like to see any of them be premium of events, but i’d be lying if i couldn’t see it coming.
5th gens will likely have their own rank (as boring as it will be for most European nations having the same plane with the same missiles and probably no Meteor.)
cough grippen mavericks cough
still highly doubt that, spains not going to italy
the centauro is no show that its part of the tree
Yeah, sometimes they do it, sometimes they don’t. Though Gripen fullfills top tier CAS for most of its respective nations also.
It’s entirely based on what they want to do.
It’s the only Eurofighter that makes sense for Italy to get. Germany getting Austria is a given
The UK would get the middle eastern ones (Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi) as BAE does all the marketing for outside of Europe on Eurofighter, and the Eurofighter is designed from the UK side with the middle east in-mind as a carry-over from P.110.
Then that leaves Spain which is the only option left, and also is the only one in-game that makes sense.
This is obviously all dependant on if they introduce Eurofighter premiums, I am of the view they shouldn’t as it cheapens the last European fighter in the European trees. F-35 is at best for the UK a collaboration that feels 1-sided.
who says italy needs to get an eurofighter premium?
grippen D makes a great premium at one point as well at to this that hungary is thinking about getting grippen Es
Why would they get 4 premium EFTs? That aside, Qatari one could be given to Germany due to them also having the Leopard 2A7Q, so there’s a link, albeit a weak one.
where is that from? havent seen an indication that t4+/t5 will have that

our hopes and dreams
I’m not suggesting the UK would get 4 premium and virtually identical EFT’s. But that it makes the most sense to give those nations to the UK in any respect as BAE does the marketing for Eurofighter outside of Europe, with EADS doing European marketing.
I mean its possible but when the UK literally did the Qatari sales/marketing, integration and training also sponsored by the UK-Qatar joint Typhoon squadron.
But again, I don’t believe in Eurofighter premiums.
Just like the Netherland Army is (very strong conected) the German Bundeswehr? but here we are, as a German we fight against then lol
This is a sub-tree its a bit different, if Germany gets a Swiss sub-tree which I think is reasonably likely then the same argument could be made about Switzerland and France. I am aware that a large portion of the Koninklijke Landmacht is integrated into the Bundeswehr.
My point is not that the UK should get Qatar as a subtree but that it makes the most sense for middle-eastern typhoons if (and I hope they aren’t) made into premiums, they should be placed in the British tree due to the sales being made by BAE and the UK on behalf of Eurofighter.
Anyway. Best to leave that minefield there.
i am currently hoping the swiss F/A 18 might get the grippen treatment and get the A2G ordenance even if switzerland doesnt use them

AMK is a part of the P4E development package that ecompasses T4+ jets.
IRST due to it being a part of Bundeswehr shop list for the longest time, and because T4+/Tranche 5 jets are generally cited to have it.
