Mk.0 eyeball (marketing lie?)
Would still be better than Goldfish-M
In service currently with two countries actually
Didnt someone asked the BW and got an Reply stating that the BW uses AESA allready since some years?
Was it here or the German one…
I think is what you are refering too at least

We use AESA since 2023 in the “EF-2000”
I still hate this name…

Kuwait and Qatar already operate CAPTOR-E operationally.
Britain and Germany have test aircraft with Mk1 and Mk2 respectively. Mk1 is already in production with deliveries likely all started
Germany plan to have Mk1 in service stating the beginning of 2026
The Devs have stated that ALL nations will be getting an ESA equipped aircraft. The only option for Germany and Italy is the Typhoon or F-35 and it would be dumb to add those and not add a British one too.
So, CAPTOR-E equipped Typhoons are perfectly reasonable to be added. Sure its a little fudging, but no more than weve seen in dozens of other places including the Rafale.
Alternatively, there is also CAESER that was tested back in 2008
Someone said “blue vixen”?
I still wonder to which Radar the BW Refers to
The first installations in the first Air Force aircraft already took place in 2023
Like, Ceasar in 2023 would be wierd and not make any sense, so must be the Mk.1
Its probably like the Mk2 FGR4
a fully functional, combat capable test Typhoon. It would be stupid to just start production of the Mk1 without doing that and if deliveries are soon, production probably started 2024 at the latest, so a testing in 2023 would make sense
Yea, very likely they refer to our IPA7/8 which have also the PIRATE and AMK Kit
Honestly give it to them.
And then eventually give everyone AMK too.
I’m happy to share at this point seeing as the Brits are already sharing their munitions on the other eurofighters.
Don’t. Gripen E will have 7 Meteor to our 6.
In order to equip the German Eurofighters with the operationally urgently needed so-called E-Scan capabilities (E-Scan = electronic beam steering) as early as possible, the delivery of Mk0 radars will begin as part of the “Early Embodyment” from presumably 2023.
So it could be the Mk.0
I think CAESAR would still be like top 3 radars in-game. Better than APG63(v)3.
Hi Gunjob:)
Okay, Now I want the Mk.0 xD

I do recall something about Germany Slapping a few Mk0s into their aircraft for the sake of just having a few ready, but could never find a source anywhere
