More computing power for integrating drone at least.
T5 might come with fully integrated AMK as well, if it gets decided as such
I know it never will happen but i want my T5 with the EJ230 with TVC

Cant wait for Tranche 5 In game (cope)
English:
Eurofighter Tranche 5
The Budget Committee of the German Bundestag approved the procurement of additional Eurofighters in Tranche 5, including engines and spare and replacement parts. The fighter jets will be equipped with a modern radar with electronic beam scanning, the so-called EScan radar. The contract is valued at a total of approximately 3.75 billion euros and is to be financed from the regular defense budget. Delivery of the aircraft to the Bundeswehr is planned for the period from 2031 to 2034. The Eurofighter is the mainstay of the German combat aircraft fleet. The procurement of Tranche 5 serves to gradually transfer the capabilities of the aging Tornado fighter jet in the area of Electronic Combat and Reconnaissance (ECR) into a future-proof platform with which Germany will continue toNATONorth Atlantic Treaty Organization-will fulfill its obligations.
Weiter hohes Tempo bei Bundeswehr-Beschaffungen Weiter hohes Tempo bei Bundeswehr-Beschaffungen
Im hoping we dont have to wait that long for most the upgrades.
CAPTOR-E hopefully will come to the Typhoons we already have.
Striker II could come to them as well
Meaning the only meaningful changes for T5 would probably be the different cockpit and maybe slightly better EW?
After that its just AMK.
+possible the AMK kit if its chosen
Maybe the EJ230 engines (Cope)
AMK + EJ230 would be awesome (are those the TVC as well, or just uprated output?
Seeing how the iris-t performs on the elde 98 spaa, I don’t see why we don’t have it on the eurofighter when Mica exists
Yeah…
But alas, giving HOBS to anyone other than the Flavour of the month nations is against the ToS

As faar as I am aware no TVC, just more Power,
Possible also the new Cockpit:
But as of now, not much is known what will be realy new on the T5
Yeah. Especially given msot of it can be fitted to T2s just fine.
Will be interesting to see what the T5 gets specifically
This looks awful, tbh
Idk it’s looks highly valuable more convenient and easier to use, specially in A2G rolls and as mentioned in the video; it give better situational awareness, faster and better targeting process, and better information management compared to the old display
Ofc the large air display will have better resolution too, plus it’s highly in development right now and alot more changes will probably be seen in the future and more than likely it won’t be seen till the end of this decade when T5 will be introduced.
I mean, aesthetically, I agree with shot_maker, these new “modern” jet cockpits look absolutely horrendous, but I do agree with ya that functionnaly, they are superior.
That being said, it does somwwhat feel like the extremely problematic direction car designers have taken over the last decade or so of replacing just about every mechanical control in a car with a menu+touch screen, and they’re actually pulling away from that nowadays since research has proven that it actually renders the vehicle more difficult to operate and lowers situational awareness greatly, so it’ll be interesting to see if the same blunder is being made with modern jets…
That being said, cars and jets have vastly different environments they operate in, and combat jets have HOTAS + voice commands to help anyways. Its just an interesting parralel to me.
