Both are much better than the Su-25TM/T, so no, Gaijin just don’t want to add a tpod for them for now, and thats not because their BR would go up.

If they gave it the 4 Kh-29TE’s, 4 R-73’s, etc, it’s capable of, sure. As it is now, giving it thermal is simply putting it on par with other nations.

I also don’t get how a high contrast imager can display so crappily in this game. In real life they are a lot easier to read.

And another problem, MIG-29SMT got KH-29TD, which should use television seeker with a thermal imaging channel, but now it only get tv seeker.

The alpha jet looks like a mosquito. I’m sure it will feel like one too when added to the game

So, for German mains I have a vision of the future.

German mains will be happy
German Mains will be angry

Both will be true at the same time.

Just thought y’all should know

Not quitely, it has weak engine, only about 0.56 thrust/weight, similar to 1 gen jet like mig-15.
I think it would be something like german saab 105

I guess it depends on what BR and weapons it gets.

Only unguided bombs and rockets, not even sure about if it has a ballistic computer

seems German CAS would still suffer a long time.
any idea there are some thing can be added?

I am one, and can confirm… it will

I think it does at least for rockets

I sadly didn’t take a picture of that page of it’s manual while I was at Dornier

if we get it without CCIP I’d be ready ro visit them again to check that tho

what CAS optiona does Germany still have?

  • Alpha Jet (Dumb ammunition only)

  • F4F-ICE (Same as F4F Late)

  • F4E from the US training squad (very controversial addition, only ever flew under USAF colours, Otherwise Stock F4E)

  • Tornado ECR/ASSTA 2/3/3.1 add HARM and JDAM to the ASSTA1

  • EF 2000 Trance 4 able to carry up to 4 Paveways

  • F-35 (Future)

Then, only alpha jet and EF 2000 can be looking forward to. still a big gap between.

well the AlphaJet role is already filled by the G.91R/3 and are you really looking forward to a currently Up to date interceptor and the very high BR it would recive for 4 Paveways?

I forgot to consider this. sadly

Pretty sure the A model can get mavericks atleast. Also I know that some could mount Fox-2’s

I thought so too, dornier said otherwise

the french could get one with Magics and AGMs but they aren’t really that much of a concern regarding CAS Abilities

This seems to be the French version, going off the language…

It’s hard to find, but in pretty sure the German A version was supposed to be compatible with mavericks

Also possible that the Thai version of the Alpha jet could carry mavericks, as late versions have a fully modernized cockpit and electronics

The mavericks are from the ICE upgrade which was not completed unfortunately
