I’ve been asking for the Typhoon since September last year. when Britain had 11.3s to fight 12.3 aircraft.
I want Germany, Italy and Britain to get the Typhoon ASAP. Ideally September, in reality probably December alongside the Rafale in an update dedicated to those nations. A proper Euro-Delta update.
I dont want any one nation to get it first.
heck i’ve even been advocating for Germany to get PGMs and BOL rails on their Tornado IDS even though there is 0 evidence that Germany used either on their Tornado IDS.
And since the Hunter F6, only the Gripen was timely. Remember the ENTIRE time you were getting new aircraft. Britain was just getting upgrades for the FGR2. We literally didnt get a new top tier aircraft from 2019 till 2023 in which we got an aircraft 0.7 BR lower than everyone else.
We had a brief moment of fun in the Harrier Gr7 till they nerfed Aim-9ls into the ground and over BRed the airframe
Im suspecting Germany will get something new maybe September or October. Worse case scenario. December.
Right, and why’s that relevant to you stating “it’s Germany’s turn to wait and suffer like we had to” which is the point here? That’s hypocrisy considering we never really wished on you to suffer like we have to and will continue to.
Britain has had consistant gaps of maybe a year between new top tier aircraft.
So did Germany?
Yes, “who suffers most” is a stupid argument. But Germany is not suffering that badly this update. F-4F ICE is a useable airframe, with weapons equal to the competition.
So you agree on it being stupid. Why are you using it?
i feel like its worth mentioning that britain had to wait like 3 years for any decent toptier arb jet after the fgr2, so we have certainly also been in the same situation
Because German mains are making out as if they fighting F16s, Su27 and Gripen with only the mig23 MLA. Like they didn’t get the F4F-ICE this update. The exact aircraft they were asking for for the better part of the last year nor do they have the mig29 or mig29g
They won’t be getting something better now till September or October at the earliest but probably December when I predict typhoon will come for all
But always a chance for a swiss f18 before then
I’m personally doing just fine in the massively unfinished and buggy sea harrier FA2. F4F ICE is probably doing just fine as well
It’s not like we’re arguing that Britian wasn’t in the same type of predicament. However, what’s the point of coming here and telling us “oh you have to wait now just like we had to wait hurr durr” like the other two people have?
Cause it certainly feels like it? We haven’t got a Gripen to use as an alternative after all…
The exact aircraft they were asking for for the better part of the last year
Wow, imagine just idk, ignoring the context that the “were asking” was used in by those people. Like most that I had talked to assumed that ICE would be used as a test platform with nerfed AMRAAMs before these could be added to 4th gen platforms. That’s history now and we know that they were wrong in their assumptions. A lot of people also presumed that Germany would receive a sub-tree via the Dutch and thus they would have both the F-4F ICE and F-16 to use, but the latter had been given to France instead.
Pretty stupid idea in my opinion, the dutch army is part of the German Army, but because dutch population speaks French, the belgium sub-tree got added to the french tree.
Nope, the Dutch has 2 main languages, that is the French and the Dutch ofc, the west part of Dutch speaks German, which is less than 1% (According to my economics chapter that I had to study last month)
language dosent have any real link to subtrees in war thunder idk where did you get that languages affect their place, but in wt its mostly taken by relations with such country, either geopolitical or military relations(or some times it was revealed to the devs in their dreams)
