I really need to learn how to make skins and then make one for the Gripen and eventually, the Typhoon of the EAP

EAP skin for ZA-HVM
I would not be surprised if Smin has a voodoo doll of the first person who mentioned the EAP on this forum

We should create a petition to add actual weapons on the EAP. Maybe BAE will notice it.

I mean, with all this talk about EAP, lets not forget about its less aggravating younger brother, the DA.2

I seem to have spies in my walls as mere minutes after I posted the previous bunch of skins, a couple more were added. Post updated.

What is “EAP”?
Oh, the British EAP, I didn’t get it, what’s the controversy?
Complain for EAP for compounded, exponential, super extravagent, perfection.
Maybe we’ll get an april fools event. EAP added, without weaponry.

Whilst discussing the gripens in RAF service(JAS39D operated by another contractor) for more legitmacy over SAAF ones, someone did say they dont count for now.
The F-4 was probably a reassembled one that crashed in Vietnam. The Mirage III is a bit tougher but the most logical connection I can make is it was a Pakistani one transferred to China and then subsequently transferred to Russia.
That’s just my guess though there’s no official records and this is the only photo that exists of them right now. Although there is one Google maps photo from 2016 where the phantom was still there but the Mirage was not.
problem is Contractors and defence companies can make it really weird for countries, giving them access to aircraft and vehicles they really dont need or dont fit, Hell if you include that britain gets access to L-39s (Draken Intl) which it has no connection to at all
I think making it so they dont count is a good idea
Essentially it was the aircraft we were asking for last year when we had the 11.3 Tornado F3 (in a shockingly bad state) to fight 12.0s like the F-16 and Mig-29. Its the pre-prototype version of the Typhoon (short answer)
They added aircraft like the F-16AJ that never existed or the Yak-141 that was never fitted with a load of kit. But totally and completely refused to add the EAP as it never fired a live weapon, but had all other necessary kit (RWR, CMs, Radar, etc mostly from the Tornado F3)
It meant that Britain was left with absolutely nothing competitive for an entire year on top of quite a dry spell for new aircraft, with 3 updates straight getting nothing but a TT version of the FRS1 which is identical in evrey respect minus 2x aim-9L.
Anyway… We are now at the point where the Typhoon is ready to be added.

I am sure these are just mockups
Maybe, maybe not. The presence of western missiles makes me think otherwise though.
They could be the option when there are none, but only as the last resort. For gripens id still much prefer actually British ones since its based in Britain, even though they arent raf operated.
Update tomorrow or Wednesday?
