how you gonna even justify adding polish f-16 to german tech tree? yes there is leo 2pl but thats because leopard is german
because looks like if its not germany the one left behind, they need the best toys now and its all wrong.
they could add Early Eurofighter with only limited and equal armament to other nations (Aim-120, Aim9Ls, etc) like they did with F16C and 29SMT

The same way they justify the Dutch F-16s in France.

iirc both of the f16s are belgian, the only dutch aircraft they added is the hunter, firefly and the fokker
I mean it could have been either, and not like the Belgian F-16 makes sense.

i suppose something swiss could be added considering they gave germany the swiss hunter rather than it going to the uk 🤷♂️

Well no one asked for that either and there was no reason to add it, but imagine any sort of logic, consistency and common sense in this game.
Oh… you’re trolling.
But for a serious response:
F-4F ICE couldn’t be added updates back because 12.7 didn’t exist yet.
F-4F ICE is 9X% of a Mig-29SMT at a 0.3 lower BR.
They literally stated it was to fill CAS hole in Germany at that BR range.
It’s not even good CAS at 9.7 and practically zero logical ties to Germany.

Indeed.
F4U4B got late 1946 engine settings to fight late 1944 109s and a 1944 Yak3 got the same BR as 1942 109F…because of balance. Now, when GER needs balancing, f*ck you. This is the story, at least, 12 years old and the reason why GJ has such a laughably minuscule playerbase.
…and Belgian F16 is French?
Not really.
If GJ gave Belgian F16s to the FRA, then they could’ve easily give Serbian Mig29s to the GER…I mean, WT became a “fantasy general” long time ago and there was literarily more than several solutions that wouldn’t brake the game, but would make GER playable in top tier.

No, the Mig-29G R77s not capable because old radar ok, i accept it because i didnt knew that.
But the “F-4F ICE couldn’t be added before” thing, i do not agree with that, F-4F ICE should been added when F16s and Mig29s were added, with limited weaponry (maybe only Aim-9Ls, without Aim-120s until this update)
“Oh but it has a very powerfull radar!” and what? its a flying brick agaisnt F16s and Mig29s and radar won’t be that op and usefull if it wouldnt had radar guided missiles like Aim-120s at that moment, thats why limited weaponry to only Aim9ls , exactly like they did with F-16C which got added before but without Fox 3s.

We should get BOL regardless it was used on F-15C and it isn’t game breaking so it should be added
It can’t use ERs either but it still gets them for “balance” lmfao

Radar is compatible with 27ER because of same seeker ane electronics with 27R.

Thats because, as people have mentioned, it cannot carry them, its different giving vehicles slightly better stuff for balance (e.g R-27ER) but adding somrthing that physically couldnt be carried is a different story altogether
I mean sure, if you wanted it to be stuck with IR missiles and have NO additions this update
One the one hand yes, it can compete with those vehicles if you use the missiles correctly, and if you know hoe to play, on the other hand it is a lower BR and is equivelent to other lower ARH carriers like Tornado F.3 Late and is actually better than the Sea Harrier FA.2
Adding that means Britain and Italy would get one as well, and right now they dodnt really have a need for it, as it stands the only Eurofighters that could be added would be the early DA airframes with worse engines that would be 13.3 minimum with AMRAAMs
BeNeLux is being deployed to the French tech tree wether you like it or not, It also doesnt make sense for germany to get a dutch subtree because it gives it access to tons of aircraft that dont fit, like the Spitfire which shouldnt be in the German tech tree
Im sorry but germany has always been pretty consistently Meta in game, sure its slightly behind the US and USSR at times, but its eating a hell of a lot better than other nations, you have 4 Meta MBTs, you have the best Top tier Naval, and although you are in a bit of a lul for air, it had been Meta for years and will be again with the Eurofighter in the near future
At least you have part of the meta…
Remember when britain had the Harrier Gr.7 as its best aircraft for ages? An aircraft that is designed for ground attack. Remember when Sweden was stuck with the JA-37D for ages? Most nations have lul spots when their development is a bit dry, its just now is germanys turn

What were the super early eurofighters like? The early j10 could be added, it would only be like 12.0(2xpl8+2xpl11) and the early and even slightly upgraded gripen could be added so what could the first eurofighter carry?
Even with the worse engines the issue is flight performance, the Eurofighter outperforms even the Gripen in dogfights and on top of that has good amount of countermeasures (assuming it is given BOL) and s healthy amount of missiles, of the top of my head even airframes like DA.2 could carry up to 6 AMRAAM and 4 AIM-9

Ah. Yeah that’s better than the early j10’s max of 4 missiles.

Yeah, as i said in my wall of text above, even the DA airframes would be 13.3 mimimum
