it was confirmed multiple times by @Smin1080p_WT already that all the EFs are tranche 2
as far as iam aware the Paveway 4 wasnt integraded on the T1 EFs
Which is why I said the Typhoon FGR.4 (Captor-M) model is only a Tranche 1 if you ignore its capabilities (i.e. GPS weapons) and serial number.
I’m just pointing out that there are details that aren’t accurate to it being a Tranche 2. But it’s not supposed to be a specific tranche - just a generic FGR.4

no, like i said smin has confirmed multiple times that the EFs with the Captor M are all supposed to be T2’s
2nd picture is what wouldve happened if the F-15 program fell through
Im just gonna start flagging all this AI slop being vomitted into this thread as spam at this point
Can’t we have a little fun? while Gaijin didn’t fix/improve literally anything

If I close my eyes it’s the EAP thread
Probably better to put AI slop here if it has to go anywhere:

Hey, without the EAP you wouldn’t get the Typhoon we all know and love.

However, this Eurofighter with the new wing profile will certainly have a more powerful flight model than the current delta wing one…
Dude that is prototype from EAP time, its not future model…
😭😭😭
you mean more drag and a lower top speed?
and its not like the EFs are lacking in flight performance
I’ll post my response over here rather than in the other thread.
Yes. Technically, all 3 could get both Missiles. But the question is whether or not they should.
In my opinion, it would be way better if they did not. Not only does this create some assymetrical combat when you have Typhoon vs Typhoon in a match, but it also gives a reason to actually grind more than 1 Typhoon. For example, if all 3 got ASRAAM and IRIS-T, then there would be no reason for me to grind down to it in the Italian TT for example.
It also creates a bit of a balancing issue, where the Typhoon would have the perfect for missile for any environment and I think would be simpler and cleaner to balance with them having just 1 missile each.
Technical compatibility is not used universally. Tornados have unique loadouts, British Phantoms are denied Napalm, etc etc. So just because they can, doesnt mean they should or will. (heck, up until we finally got ePaveway IIs, the FGR4 was denied GBU-48s because Britain didnt operate them on the Typhoon)

counter argument:
Mica IR
True, but i still dont think that is a good reason to keep all 3 Typhoons 100% identical (loadouts) going forward.
you know it will happen
I am against weaponry being distrubed on basis of compatibility, but I fully expect gaijin to do this. Will this make Eurofighter very broken? Yes it would, a combination of ASRAAM, IRIS-T and Meteor would be very broken. ASRAAM for longer range, IRIS-T for dogfights and Meteor for extreme range
Gaijin probably does not care about balance and would most likely go for this because it would be easier to just copy paste
I agree with this as well
Even I don’t want that to happen, but it gaijin will most probably do this as copy paste is always an easier option
