so that means every AESA eurofighter are the exact same now?
well yes I don’t get why they shouldn’t be
For the most part.
Britain will probably still have a slightly weaker A2G

Until ASRAAM/IRIS-T i guess.

Can someone tell me did M10 ever had lws?
even then they could just give all of them ASRAAM + IRIS
only .3 above the Bradley according to gaijin
it has double the guns and dramatically more armour then the bmp2m
Also Gaijin, in what world should both the Super Hornet and the new AESA Eurofighters be at the same br?
more slop to add to my 10.3 ussr lineup
apds shut up, no apfsds
gaijin on their way to give 10.3 russia like a million vehicles (their winrates will still be like 45%)
