Oh god yeah, What is Germany going to get. Britain they can just pull any number of bad commonwealth jets out of their… to add to Britain, but what the hell is Germany going to have.
Though FGR2 was Britains only Top tier jet for 3 years. So maybe you’ll get the same Treatment and have the ICE for 2-3 years.
F4F ICE
Tornado ASSTA 3.0 (3.1)
Tornado ECR if they wanna get desperate that would require HARM missles either way
Thats the whole complete german top tier list left without typhoon
that a possibility, germany might not be as favoured as it once was, but still to much of a money maker is my guess to leave alone that long
Could still make money out of Germany just giving them a load of Prototype things like the Vtol F-104 as a Premium.
thing is that would clasify as an intresting possible high /top tier jet i would be completly fine with, else i gotta wait until F35 until my first vtol
Its fun, but Im not sure it would VIFF like the Harriers can. So interseting and fun but not sure what help it would be in a fight
Germany bought the F35 A wich is non Vtol
so much to that then welp, at least someone explained the difrerence between A and B easily to me at this point then
Yeah, Only B is VTOL. So Britian is fine in that department
Just that britain got fucked over the price since they got forced to buy the new f35b engine that is a good bit more expensive
Yeah, thats with the friends and family discount we got from sharing Harrier data
Where did he say that? No doubt in my mind US & RU get the F-15 and SU-27 and continue to be OP for a year and we’ll be stuck being outclassed again until the Eurofighter has been surpassed in ability. God forbid anyone but US & RU is on top anymore
Typhoon next year will be in-line with the additions we’re getting this year.
It’ll be neat.
Only if they come with those additions and not a year+ later like we are currently facing with Tornado F3 vs F-16C/Mig-29SMT.
Thats my primary concern in all this. That we only get a restricted prototype typhoon. 6 months to a year after we’ve been fighting Late F-15s/F-18s in Tornado F3s with AMRAAM or Sea Harrier FA2s. Typhoon NEEDS to come either with or maybe even for a change, the update before those aircraft. Not the opposite end of the year as we have seen time and time again over the past few years for Britain
Early F-15Cs are worse than Typhoon, same with early F-18s.
People over-estimate how powerful F-18 is over say F-4F ICE.
Im expecting F-15C this year, F-15 with AMRAAM by mid next year. That would mean Typhoon mid next year, not end of next year
F-15C with AMRAAM doesn’t mean it’s on-par, it has to be the APG-63V1 AMRAAM carrying F-15, AKA 2000s.
Who said that isnt exactly what we are getting anytime between now and mid next year? This is US and USSR we are talking about. They are usually 6 months+ ahead of other nations in terms of air performance. I could easily see 13s akin to them coming very very soon. At which point Typhoon. Easy. and even if Typhoon was 13.3. Absolutely no reason why Typhoon at 13.3 couldnt come whilst others are on 13
What I don’t grasp is how they’re (supposedly) comfortable with Gripen being added, but are uncomfortable with Typhoon being added. They’re pretty comparable, and arguably Britain deserves it more.
No, they’re not. The Gripen is pretty bad tbh.
