With the HOSBO being added for the German AESA typhoon next update, it would only be fair to add it to the others as well, based on the principles that brimstones were added to all typhoons (even though they aren’t operational in Germany and Italy). They give a large advantage to the german typhoon and would greatly help the others, adding 4 extra IR FnF munitions (on top of SPICE) for the other typhoons, which at this state ‘only’ have 8 SPICEs.
Thanks :)
- Yes, add to all AESA typhoons
- No, keep only German -why?
- No, add other munition??
It is a bit weird.
Either all get all, or they don’t. To cherry pick is strange

What’s the Mach limit on the Hosbo?
Mach 1, like with the Spice
Damn, that dashes that hope then 😜
especially when all got Paveway IV despite already having a GPS/INS/SAL bomb in the GBU-48

No, leave it to the Germans to make it a bit more distinct, since its a domestic design. On top of that, the German AESA Typhoon is still nerfed with the gimbal limit on the radar, so id be a fair tradeoff

The extra gimbal limit on the other typhoons is not as significant as an extra 4 FnF in ground battles, shall we take away brimstones from the German and Italian for this reason?

How is it nerfed if its like IRL?
Hensoldt mentions 90° to each side, thats what we have…
You want 100°?
Wait till they release more sources or play a diffrent game…

or Beg Luftwaffe to adopt ECRS Mk.2
Ultimately a mentality of “distinct” weapons for Eurofighter nations and protectionism over them is going to bite Gaijin and players in the arse one way or another somewhere down the line.
German one is already equipped with Paveway IV which only equips British and Italian Typhoons IRL.
Italy’s Typhoons are the only ones that have fit-checked an anti-ship missile in the form of MARTE-ER
No nation other than the UK equipped Brimstone DMS (Germany have ordered Brimstone 3 but it’s not yet carried out integration and firing trials on Typhoon, and is not the version ingame), and only the UK has fitted APKWS-II rockets.
We can’t have exceptions and exemptions for weapons for one country, then ignore them when it comes to another weapon type being added in future.

There is also AGM-88 and I think Spice-250 which is only planned for the EK? Just gets even messier

The Spice 250 is correct as it was displayed next to a normal EF, what you mean with the EK was the Spice 250 ER which we saw next to a Eurofighter EK
Lemme see if I find it
