While on one hand I would love a Typhoon more than anything else to be added, but on the other I would be genuinely sad if Gaijin added it in a nerfed or underperforming state, so ideally they could add it this patch since it would balance the current BVR meta, with 6 nations out of 10 having high alt AMRAAM slingers instead of 2, however if it comes a heavily nerfed or poorly modelled mess then I will not be impressed.
This is one of the biggest additions of the Game’s history, and will generate a LOT of profit if done correctly
I’m just scared that a current implementation of a Typhoon, done well, would be such a beast that it’d probably get its own BR with Rafale and J10B. It’d be fine with me but when something else gets uptiered into that, they are probably not going to have a lot of fun.
This playerbase, vocal as it can be, has the potential to drive down EF2000’s performance if it is thought to be “Too strong” despite it, in that case, being modelled accurately within the limitations of Warthunder

Personally I think it would be Justified to see a new 14.0 with the following aircraft (including those in the leak list)
US - F-15E, F-15C MSIP II
Germany - EF2000 Tranche 1 Block 5
Russia - TBC
GB - Eurofighter Typhoon T1
Japan - F-15JM
China - J-10B, Mirage 2000-5Ei, J-11B (if it has PL-12s)
Italy - EF2000 T1
France - Rafale A, Mirage 2000-5F
Sweden - TBC
Israel - F-15I, Baz Meshupar

Rafale A is (like EAP) a demonstration aircraft with barely functional avionics. Considering EFTs come with CAS options, the more appreciate variant would be either Rafale C or M with F.3.3, otherwise F.2 standard.
I do not know the ins and outs of any of those jets, save for maybe the Mirage 2000 5F and 5Ei since the closest jet I have to any of those listed is a Mirage 2000C s4. Except the5F and 5Ei have MAWS and MICA.
I would even perhaps put Rafale and Eurofighter at 14.3 so that 13.0’s won’t have to see them. But the Rest of the things listed can still see them in limited numbers.
Can you imagine what a Rafale or a Typhoon does to the current 13.0 line up? Ohh hey I am in a KWS trying to grind to the Typhoon, ohh whats that? 10 AMRAAMS being guided by CAPTOR are headed by way? Well that’s that then I suppose I will just die!
It will take some careful deliberation on Gaijins part in any case
Doesn’t that depend entirely on which Typhoon get added? Tranche 1 jets have pretty much zero CAS capability unless you wanna point the Mauser at a light target or something I guess.
Wait that raises a question. Would a Tranche 1 Typhoon have gun ccip? I wonder

yes, was part of the basic ballistic computer
Lets just hope they dont model the Mauser issues :D

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s that good, until we get next gen IR and radar missiles, then it is pretty much just a Mirage 2000 with better FM and an F-15E equivalent in BVR with J-10/gripen levels of dogfight capability
Gunan be really interesting to see what they decide to do if the Typhoons do come this Decemeber.
Will they add CAS too all 3 Typhoons, will only some get it, will none? Will Rafale get none too?
Read the sutton book again recently and there were indeed a few mentions of dodgy reliability and gun jams on it, but the haven’t been modelled on the Alpha Jet, gripen or tornados yet so we can hope
Germany and Italys might be at 14.0, but UKs will probably be 14.3 maybe 14.7 :P
Yeah, Where I read about it :D

Hopefully we get a Frankenstein block 5 variant with GBUs and SAL brimstones since they are established to not be much of a threat, plus a LITENING II/III pod
Maybe. I can see them not giving any to Britain because we have just gotten the GR4, and that being the reason why ASSTA3.1 and A200C weren’t added.
I wouldnt necessarily have immediate issue with that, but both the GR4 and GR7 will need buffs and FGR4 must come ASAP
all of the typhoon’s CAS ordinance is already in the game in same form or another, especially after the influx of GPS GBUs added in Firebirds. especially since the main operational armament of UK typhoons seems to be 4x Paveway 4 and a compliment of drop tanks, ASRAAM and AMRAAM/Meteor
I am assuming you say this in the event of CAS options being available for the respective jets instead of them being tranche 1 AA only?
I think I read that the German Typhoon only has LJDAM and Paveway 1 through 4? The Brits also have Brimstones. Gaijin, give the German one HOPE and or HOSBO
No, just straight up higher BR for no reason. Happens all the time. Like F3 Late vs ICE

Germany is procuring brimstones so that is enough for gaijin to add them alongside the brits I hope
well they are buying the later moddels with even more range
