to correct you before going deep on the subject.
Germany doesnt operate any tranche 4.
The context of the post matters though, I just meant that I’m speculating on what Gaijin might do with the next addition of Eurofighters going by their previously stated rules such as denying the German Typhoon its IRST due to the operational airframes not having it. Someone then asked me in regard to compatibility of another aircraft which still doesn’t break Gaijin’s previously stated rules.
Is the newly delivered Quadriga aircraft not the Tranche 4s?
it is a tranche 4 but has yet seen fully operational on the air force.
Sure but they then also gave the german typhoon IRST… that the operational airframes don’t have.
They’ve gone both ways.
It’s not a contradiction if the Typhoon AESA in-game isn’t meant to be representative of an operational airframe. Only the German mechanical Typhoon was meant to be representative of an operational airframe.
Fair enough, I do expect it to be operated sometime soon and for the aircraft to be programmed for addition into the game as well at some point maybe.
It’s still not representative of an operational airframe though, even though it incorporates upgrades from the Tranche 4 and what has been tested as well. Otherwise do you think we won’t see any other EFT being added anytime in the near future?
not what i said, there’s plenty of them to be added.
as for the current problem, i dont mind losing the irst.

so dual pylons only for asraam’s ? not amraams ?
They can still carry AMRAAM.

why does it say 6 amraams max and not 8 ?. that to only 6+2 (asraams) instead of 6+4(asraams) ? or was the MFRL pylon still in development phase when they made this document ?.
The source is from 1994.
The Typhoons entered service in 2003.
The source doesnt even mention the dual racks for the use of SRAAMs, so was likely written before they were available or considered
The source for dual rack MRAAMs comes from a cockpit simulator for the next gen of Typhoon cockpit, 30 odd years after that source.
Finally, that source is more than likely referring purely to the planned weapons fit for most scenarios, and not necessarily maximum possible loadout, 4+4 or 2+6 has been fairly standard A2A weapons fit used by the RAF
The same they’ve been doing with top tier planes for a longer time now?
Add stuff based on technical compatibility if balance ( or whatever Gaijin thinks balance is) deems it necessary like trickle feeding Spices, GBU 53s or new AIM 120s to existing airframes. And then probably add a new type of Eurofighter for example when the in game model actually needs a visual change (AMK, Arexis).
TBF, that F-15E was carrying full A2G loadout with 4 AMRAAMS but still, EFT being able to out accelerate it without after burner is very impressive
