Did the DA5 have any countermeasures? Was it fitted with the BK-27 in addition to the AIM-9 and AIM-120?
no and probably also no on the bk-27
first gun tests were done with da3 in 2004
That people still are trying to add the prototype ones whens literaly not possible to implement them fairly to all nations

I’m damn near sure the AMK kit lower half does provide a spaced area for the canon’s vector sonce it is not a solid piece all the way to the lower fuselage.
So yeah in essence a gun can be mounted if it already isnt.
Currently we realy cant say.
But for the very least rhe IPA07 that tested the AMK doesnt have cannons equipment.
AMK with cannons would be only in the far far future then

Man practice reading comprensión before thinking You are getting attacked
This is only partly true. Datalink was a huge reason why some of these things died. We don’t have it in game, but you can cold launch Aim-120s, Aim-9Xs and other AAMs and use ground based, AWACS, Ship based etc RADAR to guide them remotely. This is why the F16s with Aim-120C-7s and Aim-120Ds in Ukraine is such a big deal. Essentially the missile will give no warning, and the fighter doesn’t need to lock onto the enemy aircraft. The missile can be guided by multiple points in the chain with the fighter not getting involved. The enemy won’t know any better until the missile goes pitbull and at that point you have roughly 8 seconds to determine what it is, where its coming from, and how to evade. 8 seconds is not long in combat. Datalink was a huge game changer. As seen by Captain Hwang who shot down two Mig-29s by himself in 1999 with his F15C.
Their is a very good paper on this here: https://www.sto.nato.int/publications/STO%20Meeting%20Proceedings/STO-MP-AVT-307/MP-AVT-307-19.pdf

lets say it is gripen vs eurofighter dogfight. Who would potentially win in terms of turning and a gunfight
Pretty sure the Eurofighter wins there

Typhoon ofc, better engines, better speed, acceleration, maneuverability, better airframe and better guns and weapons management

Meant to say missiles
pretty sure the grippen is rated to carry any armament the eft can as well

Gripen is rated for all Nato munitions.
Ngl never know that, although a plane that is two decades old and still in severe should have the same lvl of armament
That depends on if they nerf the EFT’s aoa like the gripen. Currently the gripen only has about 16° degree aoa instead of its actual aoa. The E model is also the most likely counterpart which has the better engine and avionics and is still smaller than EFT. Again it all comes down to how gaijin models them and what they decide to nerf for the sake of balance.
