I have no idea, but I would assume it probably would have some of the more advanced capabilities / functional messages deleted to reduce the surface area for the relevant programs of record / Black programs as they may tip hands towards the functionality of common systems that may provide an edge or otherwise bespoke methods for systems that fall under ITAR in some way.

So I’ve been trying to get more PIRATE info out of the MOD. And well based on my last FOI, there is zero chance of that until the type is retired by all nations.
The prejudice level set at ‘would’ is basically a non starter. Let alone sections 26/27/43.
But some info of interest was atleast gained, the documentation for PIRATE was updated as early as Jan 2025 so changes are still being made to PIRATE as early as this year.
But we’re 20-30+ years away from knowing what those are hahah.

*Well, we will never know it in time for WT
Maybe for War Thunder 2 or 3 it can be Bugged reported
🤣
Life’s achievement is bug reporting PIRATE in the 2070’s haha

Speaking of PIRATE do you know if any fixes for it are coming soon or atleast being worked on? Like Eurofighter - Missing PIRATE output MFD screen and Eurofighter Typhoon Missing FLIR Slaving so you can see targets from within the cockpit like other aircraft with IRST tracking pods like the Rafale or F-14B?

Shameless plug but its also missing Air-to-Ground search and tracking mode.
Interestingly in the feed we can see that it seems it was able to isolate its own targets and highlight them.
Not sure if that’s added in or part of the software?

Given how touchie the frenchies are:
Bugs reports are all in for the EFT, so fingers crossed we’ll get buffs next major update
But fixing TWS+ and actually adding the CAPTOR-M is probably the main priority at the moment
does the EFTs not have IRST? it doesnt appear to be an option when I switch through the modes
Which EFT?
Germany no, Britain and Italy yes
and there is seperate keybind for toggling between IRST and Radar
the british one
Edit: nvm just dumb
Didnt have a keybind set for it?
thought it was just on the radar search mode lmao didnt realise it had its own key bind lol
Hehehe.
I had a major crisis freeing up a keybind on my HOTAS to bind that
Ive been playing sim with mouse and keyboard lol
Definetly advantages to that, like easier head looking without head-tracking and much easier time using A2G weapons. I usually swap my hand from my HOTAS to my mouse when aiming A2G weapons in a tpod
