Germany needed Early Eurofighter now. or at least Polish or Dutch F16s

Meh it has good aircraft at most BRs, I love the 109s and 190s, but after WW2 their aviation industry just kinda went off a cliff

Well the country basically didn’t exist 1946-1989

It did, and they did start projects, like the VAK, but cancelled them before they could be complete

Hard to justify designing planes when your economy is fucked and America and Britain already made plenty good planes.

The MiG-29G can carry them according to this source

That says the MiG 29 OVT can carry them, not the g. Though that could be added if you could find more sources about its specs.

I guess the polish F-16AM (Block 20 MLU) would be fine

Question is, would they add it like the French one or the Chinese one

Mig 29G radar can launch R77, it just need ‘minor modifications’ by Gaijing and it will be possible. The J11A carry the exact same radar as J11 but has ability to fire R77, so why does the J11 not have R77 capabilities? Well only the developers know as they have ‘sources’

Radar might be, but I doubt it can without certain updates. Either way germany never had access to it, unlike russia

you ain’t getting Poland or Dutch planes any time sooon

If you lucky you might get a F/A18 stop gap till Eurofighter

it got the updates when it went under nato standardisation but Germany never used the ER

Of course, everything is fine when the needing nation is Germany, if they add Early Eurofighter to em, they should add em to Britain and Italy , but they dont need it! so gaijin wont add Eurofighter!

Its not like when Gaijin added F16s and Mig29s to USA and USSR they left Germany without their respective Mig29, right? of course, if germany haves something, others must have it the moment they get it !

but if other nation gets something germany has and germany doesnt get it. ITS FINE.

they could just add Early Eurofighter again with limited weaponry just to germany, other nations doesnt need an Eurofight right now, and they could add Eurofigter on next updates to em.

If Germany can get vehicles late when all others already got theirs on previous update, why gaijin cant apply the same for the rest?

Germany wasnt the only nation missing a competitive fighter to the f16 and mig 29’s

and the fact that they were Early Eurofighters before Gripen is wild. Yet there are gripens in game

The early gripen was designed to be as cheap as possible, so cheap engine, cheap radar, 6 hardpoints. The eurofighter wasn’t.

Not entirely, compare the radar it first received was about on par with other fighters of its time, the vehicle was made specifically to be locally manufactured instead of importing, and the vehicle needed to take off from short runways and have low maintenance required

Yeah but the gripen took cheap to the extreme. It has a worse radar than an f16a and again, only 6 pylons.

6 pylons doesnt really matter imo, maybe if you dont know how to use your missiles or you’re generally unlucky it might be a downside. Also what radar are you on about specifically are we talking irl game like? Also probably need to move to DM’s as this is off topic

The radar on the gripen sucks ass, and number of missiles definitely matters in a 16v16 game or when trying to loiter in sim.
