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

Higher than that with that many missiles.
This is the reason why I simply tossed Germany aside last year during the summer. The constant sidelining and double standards. Bought F-5C, Draken XS and A-5C and grinded out enitre USA/CHI/SWE aircraft techtrees as well as some premium tanks for USA and CHI and grinded ground vehicles until BR10.0.
Have more fun playing these nations anyway. Once you start playing other nations than Germany, you notice how hand holded the other nations are. Especially American planes and Chinese ground vehicles of soviet origin where you can just hold W to win lol.
After giving Netherlands to France, it’s clear more than ever that Gaijin holds some kind of grudge against Germany.

I mean F-15 is 13.0 (i think?, havent played the update yet) with 8 AMRAAMs and japan has one with 4 AAM-4 which is far better than AMRAAM so would most likely be either 13.3 or 13.7

Yeah but it’s not nearly as maneuverable as a gripen, which you claimed is less maneuverable than a eurofighter. Same missiles on a better plane= higher br.
Yeah, compression is a bitch though these days so its impossible to tell, if it was russian it would be at 10.3
The su27sm gets two less arh missiles than the f15c, is less maneuverable, slower, doesn’t get drop tanks, and the arh missiles it gets are worse, yet it’s the same br. Russian bias doesn’t really apply here.
I was making a joke…
But you see the issue with compression though?
Yeah i agree, eurofighter shouldn’t be 13.3 it should be 15.3. The gripen a in it’s current kneecapped state shouldn’t be anywhere near the gripen c. Same with the f15a and c. These planes are op in a downtier and useless in a uptier.
Yeah, decompression needs to happen but thats not the point of this topic so unless you want to take it to DMs then we should probably stop before stona smites the thread
Fair enough. Did Germany try to make any fourth gen planes before the eurofighter? Like abandoned projects. Something like the lavi
Not sure as im not that into german vehicles, I believe they were going to get the Su-27 but reunited before that could happen, in fact they treid to sabotage the Eurofighter as well, they just hate 4th gens apparently
Yeah I don’t know shit either I only really researched Chinese planes. Germany likes tanks more than planes, dunno why anyone would pick the German air tree in the first place.
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.
