I think you cant gaijin the Ajax more, than it had been gaijined IRL

Gaijin will find a way. It always does.

I think there was a thread that already stated magic II’s IRCCM should be better than the early R73’s one (as it is in game)
Both might be underperforming though

Now i can agree on one thing. This missile tends to spin out of control way too easily

The Magic II in general should be buffed, and now that the AAM-3 is here and we’re on the cusp of the next generation of AAMs, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for either the maneuverability or IRCCM to be brought up to where it is in real life.

Ahh smin

long time no see

JAS-39Cs are compatible with AIM-9M. Other nations have this missile in operation with Gripen C. There are even SAAB materials showing it.

However the loadout on the C in game has not been finalised as the aircraft is not complete yet. So it’s too soon to say what it will receive in full. It will however be very close to what the Swedish A already has and will not have any of the Darter series missiles as these are currently too advanced.

And no IRIS-T as welll
He already said it won’t

Good morning Smin

Makes sense, was more concerned about the potential of it only receiving 9Ls. Good to hear otherwise!

Finally an actual top tier for Britain

is the LOSAT getting the lock and track system ?
Also XM8 for over years still missing the smoke on level 3 armor :/

Again soviet players tell everybody that soviet vehicles quite balanced or even worse than anything else)

Soviet vehicles are balanced for the most part tbh, they only “overperform” everything at top tier.

Complete false because how are they able to carry these then ?

Again they modelled a gun port for it if I’m not mistaken

Look at the loadouts on other top tier jets then get back to me.

Dude what is even that logic ? IF we can’t have the EAP then why should the 737 have more rights then it ?

We have the YAK 141, F-16AJ and soon the Mirage 4000 so again not a reason.

That more than the AJ and yet fake weapons are far more real than a paper advert
and should not effect gaijin.

You don’t require wiring to slap some mock up dummy missiles to an aircraft. The aircraft has no weapon systems on board at all.

The Yak-141 and Mirage 4000 both had weapons planned, mounted or tested. Both had detailed plans on exactly what weaponary and systems they would get. They are both prototypes of what would be combat aircraft.

The AJ is just a standard block 10 F-16A.

Meanwhile the EAP is a technology demonstratior never fitted with any military equipment and used as a proof of concept for BAEs designs and manufacturing technology to prove it worked.

Gripen C is a far more viable option that makes use of Britians existing sub tree.

They’re dummy missiles. They aren’t actually even socketted into a real rail. They’re fake placeholder mockups or the real missiles to simulate the drag that having them onboard would provide to test aerodynamics.

They intended for the actual Eurofighter to have a gun. Since EAP is an aerodynamics test bed, you need to simulate the gun port as well. There isnt actually a gun or any armament onboard.

The loadout of top tier jets in the game mean nothing. This jet has literally no working wiring. It never existed inside the jet or was planned to exist. It physically cannot fire anything.

Because it’s just as rediculous as asking for a jet which never mounted armament and was never going to mount armament.

All of these are combat jets, with at the BARE MINIMUM the intent to arm them. EAP was never intended to be armed. Its not a combat jet. It was never going to conduct firing exercises. It was for flying around to test handling only.

The F16AJ was at least a proposed combat jet. EAP wasnt.

Seriously misplaced desire here. If you want a test eurofighter or very early eurofighter that does literally everything you are wanting or claiming the EAP does: Look at Eurofighter DA.2

This jet IS a combat jet. Conducted live fire tests and is one of the very early stages of the eurofighter development aircraft. It’s EAP with weapons essentially.
Just go fight for DA.2 not EAP.

I mean can’t you just use early prototypes and EAP and merge them into one aircraft ?

Use the prototype Typhoons internals and more or less have a 1 to 1 model of the EAP.

Which im very excited to see in next weeks dev server hopefully
