These pictures show german typhoons wit the IRST pod.
Considering the T80B got thermals because it was installed on a single test vehicle i think the german euro should also get an IRST

it should technically
but since its 98+XX its a test vehicle. iirc its WTD-61?
as for the 31+XX its either T4 or a mockup
EDIT: its a mockup

Two airframes in the luftwaffe have it, 98+07 (which is the one in the picture) and 98+03 which is a two seater.
Thats enough to desmonstrate its capable of using it. The T80B got thermals because a single test vehicle us
WTD-61 is not technically a part of the usual GAF. hence why gaijin may be hesitant. lets see what happens.
i would kind of prefer some differences since the IRST is merely another headache and the german one, while lacks IRST, can get the AMK aerodynamic kit and it would be the sole user of it.
apparently it would increase AOA capability by 45% and double roll rate
it is part of tranche 4 though, and might be available to all nations. however available doesnt mean in service
Id prefer if it did have it since IRIS-T + IRST combo would be nasty

As a reminder for now most if not all top tier aircrafts have gimped roll rates, because of game limitation. With better roll rate, the instructor tends to rip the wings off when doing combined rolling and pitching maneuvers
