Watch them give it the better reverse speed when there is almost no evidence for it, while they keep shooting down stuff for NATO vehicles because “not enough info”.
Still want to know why they can get M1A2T but we can’t Thai VT-4

Can you explain it more for me? Thanks
The US Army issued them to the 82nd Airborne before cancelling.
The short answer is that with the exception of the T1s that lack the necessary power supplies (if im remembering correctly) to recieve CAPTOR-E, all Typhoons can and were simply upgraded.
Tranche/Block less denotes what they have, but rather when they were built.
The current airframe in-game (with CAPTOR-M) could be considered just a T1/T2s that have been upgraded to Tranche 3 P3E (as they have Brimstones)
Likewise, many T2s will be upgraded to the P4E standard with CAPTOR-E.
So just because its X Tranche and Block, doesnt necessarily exclude it from any upgrades.
This is a good thread for all the various upgrades and Types
Tranches
The Tranches are mere production contracts for the production and delivery of a defined number of aircraft and engines to the contracting nations over a contractually agreed delivery schedule. It’s a wide spread misconception that Tranches translate into capabilities. This is not the case! Tranches are only indirectly related to capabilities as all aicraft are ofcourse build to a specific standard. However the capabilities were layed out in the WSPS and not the Tranche contracts!
Batches
The Tranches are divided into Batches and further broken down into Blocks. The purpose of the Batches was to segregate distinctively different build standards by managing them in Batches. This concept effectively applied only for Tranche 1 and was merely superseded by Tranches 2 & 3A as the aircraft build under the latter Tranches were too similar to each other in contrast to earlier plans. As a consequence there were 4 Batches.
Blocks
The Block represents the exacting build standard of an aircraft. It is possible to link capabilities to the baseline configuration of a particular Block, but that was only valid to a specific point in time. Earlier Blocks have always been upgraded to higher standards equivalent to newer Blocks. The Block numbers haven’t changed, however, and unlike in other aircraft programmes Blocks in the Eurofighter programme are not really indicative in terms of capabilities, other than at a particular point in time when these aircraft were build.
Yeah, so many people hear “stopping further acquisitions” or “No longer procuring,” and just immediately assume the all ready acquired vehicles are sent to the void or something, (some are but not most if they have at least over 10-20 made.)

What I really can’t understand is this: the USSR can use the KH-38, but U.S. aircraft still can’t use the GBU-53, AGM-154C, or AGM-158
The AGM-154C and AGM-158 were even introduced earlier than the KH-38, yet somehow we’re not allowed to get them

The TT can get an AH-64E and a M1A2T two modern vehicles but we can’t get a proper Flag to represent the nation that holds on to those? Japan can’t receive the VT4?

Tell me your company is pandering without telling me your company is pandering.
