For example attack aircraft with 5th gen IR AAM. my guess
- Tornado GR.4 (RAF)
- Hawk 120 (SAAF)
- M-346FT (ITA)
Oh, I forgot this. but thanks 🙏 👍

I think enough is known, but yes, there will certianly be some guesstimation going on
(but not looking forward to the “the Russian engineers could only get X range out of the R-74 and so we dont beleive how the British engineers got 40km range out of the ASRAAM and so we are limiting it to X range” dev-blog)

USAF A-10C test AIM-9X only or service ?
I don’t know about this
For Su-25SM3 ?
It also would basically be added only on the tornado F3 late, which isn’t exactly the best dogfighter. It should have been already added (without infrared imaging obviously)
Tornado Gr4
Harrier Gr7/Gr9 (trial only)
Sea Harrier FA2
Tornado F3 AOP/FSP
Hawk 200
Jaguar Gr3A (trial only)
Typhoon
Quite a few it could be equipped too.

Yeah but in game the aircraft that would need it and where it wouldn’t be OP is the tornado F3 late. Sea harrier FA2 is fine at 13.0.
Typhoon still is not in game (and imho it won’t likely come before September/December 2025, because December imho is going to be all focused on the F-18 and either Su-33 or MiG-29K/M
Considering Typhoon is equal to the F-18 and Su-33 and denying Britain, Germany and Italy (and france via the Rafale) a counter for an entire year would be extremely unfair, Im expecting this December (though with Aim-9M/Li and Aim-120Bs of course) would really suck to have to wait so long for the Typhoon just like we had to wait so long after the F-16 was added for a counter.
Tornado Gr4 is my guess though for a new aircraft added with ASRAAM. No radar, no HMS, limited flight performance. If it came along with Brimstone, it would make a fine addition, even at a higher BR.
PLEASEEEEE LET ME RUN WINDOWS ON IT
It would be so funny to play war thunder in war thunder

I mean if Germany is getting an F-18 as leaked/datamined as Eurofighter isn’t happening anytime soon. Because Gaijin will say all 3 are good enough with what they got.
Eh… I hate only getting a new top tier aircraft once every 2 to 3 years,. I hope its wrong, because Sea Harrier FA2 or Tornado F3 late vs F-18s and F-15Es and Su-33s etc for the next year+ would suck
I think either the June 2025 update or the December 2025 update we will see the Eurofighter along with the Rafale.
Typhoon airframe is miles better than both F-18 and Su-33… as an Italian I would be extremely pissed off if they modelled it so poorly it would be comparable to them. Especially for BVR it out accelerates and out climbs both extremely easily. The only somewhat comparable airframe to the typhoon of the ones I listed above might be the 29M (only one that comes close in thrust to weight), but 29M has other weaknesses.
Imho they are just going to give everyone an F-18 lol. Canadian or Australian for Britain, Swiss for Germany and Finnish for Sweden.
Yeah it could work well
This is Gaijin that is what going to happen as Germany will get the Swiss F-18 and the UK and Italy have Gripen Cs so Gaijin will consider them good enough.
I still hope we arent waiting that long. Especially as the Typhoon will likely be out classed in terms of firepower by that point
Yeah. Just a shame the Gripen is boring as hell and the R-Darters suck.

I think an A-10C variant that is actually good in ground RB would be more useful.
The best we can hope for is for Gaijin to go ham with the F-18s.
CF-188 to UK pretty please
