I see 3 options

  1. Add AESA to the current Typhoon in-game with no immediate change, but eventual BR increase when appropriate with everything else appropriate.

  2. 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

  1. 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

4559

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?

4560

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.

4561

I dont see why not, wont be straight away, but sooner rather than later yes.

4562

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

4563

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.

4565

This is true

4566

low k im seeing this as a indian tt being added to britain instead of aesa euro. you will get rafale and be happy

4567

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.

4568

But definitely too new to add into war thunder though

4569

But don’t forget that we are missing so much more

MIssing Spear-Glides now too

Though im doubting we’d get ALARM on the Typhoon, it was mounted, but confirmed not intergrated

4571

thats all it takes for in game implementation i believe.

is this not the same as the spear 3?

4572

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)

4573

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.

4574

I have no idea what mount they will use. I think its quad on the F-35 but probably the same triple mount as the Brimstones. But dont quote me on that
