This update is full of French-German “join” stuff (the AMD, Clovis, Heli tiger, DF105…), perhaps the name of the update would be along that xD

Im pretty sure at some point he said no

6451

That’s the only one you used, and that’s the only one you should get

He said no to any new IR missiles to top tier soon I think. I haven’t seen anything for R-77-1 denial.

I guess “stay tuned” for asking about the rapier 2025 tease and if it will be a plain “early” tracked rapier aimed at Iran/bought in the first days with only a Hit-ile or if it would be a later model with a proxy round too?

Or gib 2 rapiers, 2 rapiers is good xD

Does that mean Germany can get Super Hornets, given we signed a contract and decided to cancel it in favour of the F-35 later :P

Spoiler

This is a joke (or is it?)

There is also nothing domestic to fill the gap between the Sea Harrier and F-35, so it’s not like it would prevent any other vehicles coming to the game, just the MiG-29K or Rafale M if India buys them, which “fit” Britain less, though those would be the alternatives if we don’t get a Hornet

I’m more interested about the Badger and if we’ll get the Badger ATGM as well

Did any German super hornets begin production? I’ve heard about this deal but not sure how far it went

6458

give us the EMBT for the cherry on top, would be a great main topic vehicle

Should we have justice for the Dutch D.21 and add it to the game ?

Specifically for Germany, or a Boeing demonstrator jet

6463

AFAIK no, tho plans for a production plant were underway. No idea if Boeing started construction in their own plants and diverted them or not

So tempting to say no justice for anything xD

Pretty sure it was just a demonstrator, but I am not well versed in that trials history

I hate the idea of giving demonstrators. F16aj needs to go.

No need to worry about the very modern era of our ground trees, in any case the possibilities are there, with joint projects (differents EMBTs) and even specificities for the 2 nations (KF51 / Leclerc Evolution) to differentiate them at the very end.

Unless, of course, Gaijin does its Gaijin and gives the EMBT to Germany only…

6468

well, and the F-35, unless you want to consider that US/UK?
