No because of the X-31 :-) Who ever says that TVC is more weight then help is not undertsanding the EF2000, trust to weight and what TVC adds to it. Mhh one could do literal circels in one point without falling out of the sky.

X-31 prototyped and tested a different TVC yes and was going to test the EJ 200 TVC also, but that does not mean only Germany should get it. If for example the TVC is solely developed by Germany, or MTU then i understand but to my understanding it is done by Eurojet between MTU (owned by RR lol) and ITP (also owned by RR lol) and Rolls-Royce for integration aides (Rolls Royce casually joining a consortium and then buying out every member of said consortium)
If im missing something id be curious to know. (Just looking for information here not to debate for or against who gets it).
in my book every one should get as it is a upgrade kit for the EF2000/typhone

A slightly “inventive” “tranche 5” Eurofighter for all nations ingame with PIRATE, ECRS MK.2, AMK, LWS etc using “F-5C logic” would be exceptionally cool.
i can finally yap again
anyways
the EJ200 is not a purely RR engine. this is the split:
MTU(Germany): Low&High pressure Compressor, Digital Control System
RR(UK): Inter Duct casing, Combustor, High pressure turbine
Fiat-Avio(Italy): Low pressure turbine, Afterburner, Gearbox(generator)
Sener/ITP(Spain): Nozzle, external Dressing.
So nozzle stuff is ITP’s involvement and they developed the TVC nozzle hardware with the help of MTU who did the control system again. Other companies did provide support but there was a special agreement between ITP and MTU for this development.
Anyways, there isnt really a point to TVC on Eurofighter without AMK as the old flight limits still mostly apply. yeah it provides some 2% more thrust on takeoff and 7% more during supercruise due to better nozzle control but meh. I’d rather get an AMK Eurofighter than a TVC one without AMK. if gaijin wants to add engine improvements they can just add the 15% extra thrust that can be provided through small changes to the engine because the design called for that 15% growth potential

Yeah definitely not a purely RR engine all partners played a part. I always find it interesting why all of the companies are GmbH… like why?
I do wonder how much the original RR engine was improved though as the XG40 produced 95kn and the EJ200 produces similar but higher with WAR power (which by the way we should absolutely get if the MIG-21 BIS gets it).
Intereresting about the ITP x MTU agreement though im 100% sure i read researching it that rolls royce was brought on for consultation on integration into the engine and ended up aiding ITP in making the nozzle, eventually I’ll find and bookmark it again.
But yeah AMK will be the one to go for.
Interestingly i discovered that RAF, and Aeronautica Militare pilots also flew the Eurofighter equipped with AMK kit so theres hope for the UK and Italy too.
Like the F-16AJ but with IPA7 lol.

Because
GmbH is an abbreviation of the German phrase “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung,” which means “company with limited liability .”
So it’s like British companies having PLC, LLC, or Ltd at the end of their name.
I gather that most aspects of EJ200 were quite heavily based XG40, with various improvements.

Yeah im just confused why its Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug/Eurojet Turbo GmbH and not PLC. (Not to say it should be in English but perhaps PLC on English releases and GmbH on German releases).
Though that adds unnecessary complication, i just wonder why they went to establish in Germany rather than the UK.
I’ve seen the same things. Would be cool to see a breakdown of what was actually changed.
There is a paper you can find on google by Rolls Royce that details the XG40 and its stats and characteristics are virtually identical to EJ200.
because Eurofighter Jagflugzeug GmbH is a German company.
if it was a british company it would have been LLC
I think what will end up happening is that they will add various version that were in service then add prototypes and then maybe when there is nothing else they can possibly add each nation will get versions mounting the upgrade kits.

I through that Typhoon is bigger.
its bigger than the f-16 but smaller than f-18. about the size of an f-35
but as you can see the tail is kinda sticking out behind the engines

Germany has the right to install when requested, but chose not due to performance and cost reasons. The best solution would all other nations get it stock, while germany gets it as a rank 3-4 modification
