even more crowded cockpit
NVDs for sure, for the pilot (citation is Wg Cdr Mike Sutton’s “Typhoon” book)
More powerful engines, HMD, NVGs, ability to carry TIALD pod on wing pylons allowing 2,000 lb Paveway on centreline (IIRC).

Thats quite nice.
The question for me is why can’t it carry the 2000lb on the inner pylons as it can carry 2 1000lb bombs and the ejection rack on top of it?
Probably to do with load asymmetry if only a single bomb is dropped.

I’ll try something when I get home.
So with the Jag going to 10.7 can we finally get aim 9Ls? Also why is the IS 11.3 now?

I imagine it’s because gaijin decided those Magic 2s and extra Paveway made it worthy of a significant BR increase.
Unfortunately GR.1A would probably follow if it actually got those AIM-9Ls we want

After spading the IS. The Gr1A would be DOA with 9Ls as it would likely join it at that BR and even with magic 2s it’s almost unplayable. Especially if you want to use it as a strike aircraft.
I think the best and only buff we can hope for for the Gr1A Is maybe SRAAM
Except, nothing has indicated that Gaijin’s stance on which aircraft qualify for it, has changed.
Sufficient evidence as been found for a tech mod to submit a bug report
The problem isn’t evidence. It’s the devs have stated they only plan on adding it to aircraft that could carry but no other IR missile.
