Wouldnt be surprised. But at least that means the Typhoon can get Storm Shadow as a GPS stand off weapon
Or potentially amraam-er at higher BR?

US is already good as they have multiple planes with 500lb/2000lb gps guided bombs.
There are other nations in much more need.
That is true, but how much can they launch before the return missile comes. Seeing as it’s and F-15E/I it will have to start turning almost immediately after noticing the launch if it doesn’t want to headbutt a missile.
I just have yet to face a GBU-39 that I really struggled against, but maybe if I face someone in game that uses them well my opinion might change.
I think the meta is going to be to drop a bunch of Gbu-39s first then one or two Mavericks, very slim chance for any of the new sam systems to stop or dodge that, But then cas is going to have to waste all of its ordinance on spaa, which begs the question of why spawn cas in the future meta at all.
It’s unacceptable how they added LJDAMs and EGBU’s to Tornadoes before Strike Eagles.
Not to mention, it’s just a GPS+Laser GBU for both LJDAM and EGBU and they are already in game so it shouldn’t take much effort
a bit changed model and probably thats it.
It’s only unacceptable if you handicap yourself by playing only a single nation for bs reasons.
US made the thing, but had to wait for a while to only get it on the hornet
Not even done with US air or ground or helicopters or even naval now that they added the Iowas. I’ll play other countries stuff if it’s something I like.
Yeah. Its also unacceptable how they are adding Aim-120C5s to the F-15s and F-18s only and not everyone else

It’s a game, not a simulator to stroke the ego of people too high on nationalism.
And before someone tries it: Yes, I think that way about all nation main cope from all nations.

What’s so bad about adding GPS+Laser bombs to the US specifically? It’s perfectly fine for everyone else but as soon as it’s US “oh no they don’t need it”

doubt that there could be reasons, except of fact that a lot of players just hate US by fact that it is US.
better platforms already got such weapons.

Yeah, like giving the Italian and German Typhoon GBU-48 but not giving Britains the ePaveway II
GBU-48 is an Epaveway 2 though
It’s GPS/laser gbu-16
Nvm I misunderstood
and yet Britain only gets the laser-only Mk18 not the GPS+laser ePaveway II
Iris-t when?
We’re getting the sam one why not the actual AAM
It’s just such a tiny almost non-existent issue being blown out of proportion by some nation main. Majority of the time as soon as something is on plane Y some nation main just comes in with “eh we tested/used this on plane X so that should also get it”.
Nah, ASRAAM
With PW4 on other typhoons there really isn’t a good reason. Should get them like F-15E should get it’s dual mode bombs
Actually facts it would pair with the Australian f-18
