I do not know the ins and outs of any of those jets, save for maybe the Mirage 2000 5F and 5Ei since the closest jet I have to any of those listed is a Mirage 2000C s4. Except the5F and 5Ei have MAWS and MICA.

I would even perhaps put Rafale and Eurofighter at 14.3 so that 13.0’s won’t have to see them. But the Rest of the things listed can still see them in limited numbers.

Can you imagine what a Rafale or a Typhoon does to the current 13.0 line up? Ohh hey I am in a KWS trying to grind to the Typhoon, ohh whats that? 10 AMRAAMS being guided by CAPTOR are headed by way? Well that’s that then I suppose I will just die!

It will take some careful deliberation on Gaijins part in any case

Doesn’t that depend entirely on which Typhoon get added? Tranche 1 jets have pretty much zero CAS capability unless you wanna point the Mauser at a light target or something I guess.

Wait that raises a question. Would a Tranche 1 Typhoon have gun ccip? I wonder

yes, was part of the basic ballistic computer

1569

Lets just hope they dont model the Mauser issues :D

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s that good, until we get next gen IR and radar missiles, then it is pretty much just a Mirage 2000 with better FM and an F-15E equivalent in BVR with J-10/gripen levels of dogfight capability

1571

Gunan be really interesting to see what they decide to do if the Typhoons do come this Decemeber.

Will they add CAS too all 3 Typhoons, will only some get it, will none? Will Rafale get none too?

1572

Read the sutton book again recently and there were indeed a few mentions of dodgy reliability and gun jams on it, but the haven’t been modelled on the Alpha Jet, gripen or tornados yet so we can hope

1573

Germany and Italys might be at 14.0, but UKs will probably be 14.3 maybe 14.7 :P

1574

Yeah, Where I read about it :D

Hopefully we get a Frankenstein block 5 variant with GBUs and SAL brimstones since they are established to not be much of a threat, plus a LITENING II/III pod

1576

Maybe. I can see them not giving any to Britain because we have just gotten the GR4, and that being the reason why ASSTA3.1 and A200C weren’t added.

I wouldnt necessarily have immediate issue with that, but both the GR4 and GR7 will need buffs and FGR4 must come ASAP

1577

all of the typhoon’s CAS ordinance is already in the game in same form or another, especially after the influx of GPS GBUs added in Firebirds. especially since the main operational armament of UK typhoons seems to be 4x Paveway 4 and a compliment of drop tanks, ASRAAM and AMRAAM/Meteor

1578

I am assuming you say this in the event of CAS options being available for the respective jets instead of them being tranche 1 AA only?

I think I read that the German Typhoon only has LJDAM and Paveway 1 through 4? The Brits also have Brimstones. Gaijin, give the German one HOPE and or HOSBO

1579

No, just straight up higher BR for no reason. Happens all the time. Like F3 Late vs ICE

Germany is procuring brimstones so that is enough for gaijin to add them alongside the brits I hope

1581

well they are buying the later moddels with even more range

1582

so Brimstone III?

1583

EF Brimstone 1

Ahh yes, greetings, Mr Pantsir driver, sir.

Would you be interested in any of my Typhoons ground ordinance? A paveway? A glidebomb? A JDAM? Perhaps a guided missile?

1585

I’m not expecting the typhoons to be CAS monsters until ARMs and F&F brimstones are modelled tbh
