Pretty much particularly as like on Gripen these missiles are integrated across all the aircraft.
EF’s will be equal as far as they can be, though I don’t expect Gaijin to mix and match with ASRAAM and IRIS-T.
that not, but those are seen as pretty much equal in the first palce, his big worry is the step in between amraam to meteor

UK uses C-5 and D, Spain uses C-8. We are covered imo.

Germany not getting its own missiles. But Sweden does. As usual. As if the F-4F Ice couldn’t use any imaginable buff.
I’m going to secure the Eurofighter eventually by grinding either Italy, Germany or Great Britain. Do you guys know which nation has the best Eurofighter?
I’d like to avoid another situation like where I grinded Israel to secure the F15 which ended up being the only one without TWS or HMD.

So i’m gonna do a brief breakdown of the key points where they differ.
- They all fly the same
- They have the same ARH missiles (due to balance)
- The UK uses a missile called ASRAAM, its like an R24ET with mega IRCCM, whereas Italy and Germany use IRIS-T which im sure you already know about as sweden uses it but its like a SRAAM that had a lovechild with an R73 and then put the baby on meth and steroids
- The UK and Italy use the PIRATE IRST in service, this is like a bigger, better version of the Gripens SKYWARD-G IRST (Skyward-G is based on pirate). However Airbus Germany has 1 testing aircraft that Gaijin might use to questionably give Germany PIRATE (IPA7)
- The UK is the only in-game nation that uses the LWS, LWS is useful as basically every IRST but the one of EF and Gripen use a laser to rangefind people so the UK ones will get an alert.
- Gaijin can use the prior test aircraft IPA7 to give Germany something called AMK kit, this gives it gripen e-esque leading edge and trailing edge extensions and increase maneuverability substantially.
- There is a TVC kit that was developed but never actually used made by Germanys MTU and Spains ITP (with a little bit of help from rolls royce) currently germany may be able to get it as a non-historical addition.
I’ll let you make up your own mind.

efts pretty much will mostly perform equal in all nations
There is small differences but they are all debatable and dont impact as much
Uk uniquely has LWS if that sth you are intrested, but for grb the UK tree is just so horrendous i would advice against it.
Germany is debatbale if it gets IRST, thats a pure gajin choice. But honestly i think thats more of a SIM thing either way as well
That being said germany has the possibility for the AMK kit which makes it even more agile.
Italy doesnt have anything unique realy i would say
The big differences honestly will be the IR missle choice Asraam or IRIS-T
ASRAAM is medium range IR missle super strong
Whiile the IRIS-T is a deadly short range missle which goes bonkers
On another note, HMS on the first variants (afaik the UK and Italy might get it (iirc striker 1 was 2005)) but what about Germany as far as i know the German HMS was a bit delayed?
Lets be fair its 2 you forgot the IPA 8
they got installed on the trance 1 either way even if delayed dont think its an issue
IPA 2 tested Pirate also? probably just forgot that one, my bad
There are two testing aircraft experimentally fitted with it
my bad ipa 8

He mentioned the Baz Meh-sub-par so it made me think for a sec.
id prefer to not lack hmd
HMS was introduced in '08 or '09
all most likely will come with it our local expert faster boi propably can tell u more
For Germany or universally as I know Germany developed their own?
