they said prior to 5th gens and 5th gens wont be till latter half of next year at the earliest
But that being said. Yes only sensible option is the Typhoon and I cant think of any reason not to do it sooner rather than later.
So like the same eurofighter we have…but with an AESA?
I see 3 options
-
Add AESA to the current Typhoon in-game with no immediate change, but eventual BR increase when appropriate with everything else appropriate.
-
Add T1 Typhoon to “replace” the current Typhoon, add AESA to the current Typhoon and move it up
I could see this also being done when ASRAAM/IRIS-T is added so that we are left still with a 9M + 120B airframe
- Add T3+ Typhoon with AESA and to get all of the future upgrades (The current though would still get those appropriate still for it)
Im not sure which Id prefer, but honestly. I dont really mind at this point, all have pros and cons. But a T3+ we could make really really strong arguments for things like Striker II, Spear-3, AMK, etc etc
Gaijin be like…

That is precisely Gaijin at the moment
Is AMK even plausible for implementation? I don’t know too much about AMK test subjects but would this be similar to the category of test vehicles such as like the F15 STOL/MTD?
I think we could easily get AESA as a mod (for like 50~100k rp) for the current typhoon and then move it up. It would fare fine with the M-scan and then we wouldn’t need to bloat the tt with 3 or 4 Eurofighters.
I dont see why not, wont be straight away, but sooner rather than later yes.
I dont mind having 3x Typhoons, so long as there was significant and meaningful differences between them and with at least 0.7 BR between them. but otherwise no point them being the same BR.
As for AESA as a mod… Maybe, but it would be a first
Currently testing and planned for the Tranche 5 integration. So it would be a thing which makes it into production and not just testing like the STOL/MTD modification.

We used to have RWRs as a mod and we still have MAW as a mod so evidently adding sensors as an upgrade isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
This is true
low k im seeing this as a indian tt being added to britain instead of aesa euro. you will get rafale and be happy
Then what about Germany and Italy?
And it would be the most stupid decision ever to add AESA Typhoons to 2 out of 3 nations just so that htey can slap a C&P Rafail into the British TT.
But definitely too new to add into war thunder though
MIssing Spear-Glides now too
Though im doubting we’d get ALARM on the Typhoon, it was mounted, but confirmed not intergrated
thats all it takes for in game implementation i believe.
is this not the same as the spear 3?
Its a grey area. But im doubting it.
Spear-3 are MMW+SAL+GNSS with a turbojet
Spear-Glides are EO/IR + SAL + GNSS with no motor at all.
Meant to be a cheap spammable weapon
There is also Spear-EW which is a Spear-3 but instead of an MMW/Warhead it has an EW suite meant to act like a decoy (thought it was an ARM, but my mistake on that)
oh okay, however in the edit i just put spear to represent all of spear. I also included quad rack but not fully sure if im right on the placement.
