I guess they’ll take the Yak-141 approach. Typhoon could and eventually did get things like RWR and Countermeasures, even though they werent present on the Prototypes therefore it could get them.
The main differences I expect on the first Typhoon to assist with balance are:
No no no no, that is a different situation. Typh did not get them because later version got it. Yak would get them if it was finnished. You cant compare these
You keep ignoring Gripen, sub-tree vehicles always have precedent.
Typhoon wasn’t put into service? Kikka approach only works on canceled projects, not vehicles put into service.
Arbitrary limits aren’t precedent nor should ever be.
@Danzig_A1
Cause it’s better than putting F-5C to 9.7, and people forget China has an F-5C, they aren’t selective at all.
There will be F-15EX in the next update, LOL
That would be very fun
There will be Su-57, trust me
Because I know the law unlike most people here I won’t use a manual but this
They wont add Gripen to Britain. Not when they’ve spent the last 9 months finishing the FRS1. Sea Harrier FA2 is dramatically more likely and is actually a British Jet. The likelyhood they’ll give Britain more than 1 new AMRAAM carrier is tiny. Sea Harrier FA2 and Tornado F3 CSP this year. Probably Harrier Gr9 early next year. and then Typhoon DA2 around Q2 next year is my guess. We aren’t US/USSR that gets something every single update.
Limited Prescedent because its not an SA vehicle like all the others we’ve got. Its an import nor do we have an SA air tree or any room for one. There is also I think a debate on whether SA Gripen had any form of BVR.
Typhoon DA2 was never put into Service, the Typhoon F2 did and some of those were converted DA2s
Me when wikipedia
So yea saying the Typhoon is going to be overpowered in this day and age is funny as hell.
Plus if we had the Gripen via South Africa then I want all of there aircraft please.
But since we got non I highly doubt we will see it
I think what UK will get is a Swordfish with a single AMRAAM slapped to the belly and a 3rd crew member, whos lying on the top wing while holding 2 rods, to work as a radar. Source: Trust ME
It is a South African vehicle. Literally in South African service.
Please do research before talking.
AMRAAMs are BVR as well…
South Africa designed and built the Gripen and exported it to Sweden?
There was also debate on whether or not SA actually bought any AMRAAM
The thing most people are afraid about is G pull and radar. 2 quick fixes. G limiter and early captor. problems gone
Aw man, i missed it. Thanks you showed me that, imma go grind it rq and make all the us mains cry.
Not gonna lie but I think it’s wishful thinking that any other nation will get a better fighter than the US and Udssr. They dominate and power creep air since years. I don’t think this will change any time soon because there is no money/much less hype in other nations.
I want to say that I don’t think that the eurofigher will come anytime soon. Otherwise the tornado would have gotten added sooner aswell
Plus there are no indications that they will add any SAAF to Britain otherwise we would of gotten them by now.
Yea, i think next sub tree will be mid next year.
Yeah, and where would they go? All the SA vehicles we’ve got are either self produced or heavily modified I believe. Gripen is just an imported vehicle. We’ve not got any imported vehicles. They’ve so far gone to the exporters tree, like the Australian Abrams
Either way, Sea Harrier FA2 and/or Tornado F3 CSP are a lot more likely than the Gripen.
