Didn’t Smin say it is Brimstone2s limited to just laser+INS?
No, they are brimstone 1’s
So that’s what this is about?
Getting 3 practically identical variants of the same plane at the same BR for… some reason?
Ignores the Gripen despite that literally having multiple BR’s if it was correctly implemented and limited with its equipment.
No, brimstone 2s would have 40-60km range and decent HOBS. What we have is dual-mode brimstone 1s
Yes, but they aren’t dependent on GBUs for most of their CAS
It didn’t make sense to skip straight to upgraded T2 typhoons, for air combat they would’ve been very similar afaik and it just doesn’t make sense to go straight to a later version. T1 BLK 5 wouldve been a fine 14.0

A more linear progression, more variants to unlock for different BRs, more money for Gaijin to earn.
Tranche 1 should be the one with only AIM-9Ms and AIM-120Bs.
Tranche 2 Block 10/15 should introduce improved DASS, better A2G and maybe better AMRAAMs.
Tranche 2 Block 20 could come as a stepping stone towards Tranche 3 with IRIS-Ts and Meteors.
Tranche 3 should introduce the CAPTOR-E AESA radar and further A2G upgrades (and IRIS-Ts+Meteors if they skip the Tranche 2 Block 20 variant)

Neither is UK, they have other options like brimstone
To be fair, the US gets two F-18Cs an early and a late, the Finnish F-18 is somewhat between the two in capability, equivalent to the Early (in terms of additional fit), trading the ground ordnance for AMRAAMs & 9Ms, and missing out on the HMD and ground ordnance of the F-18C Late and later Finnish F-18Cs that could have been added at the same time/instead, yet remain at the same BR.
Hmmm. Dumb decision.

You actively ignored the problem with the Gripen to try and proove your point when the problem with the Gripen A was gaijin added a blatantly better version at the same BR and told sweden go screw yourselves which is what they did once again with the C and now the F-18 but lets ignore that because we dont know what were talking about because it makes my argument barely work.

This is like asking for Leopard 2A0, Leopard 2A1, Leopard 2A2 and Leopard 2A3 before Leopard 2A4 because “it doesn’t make sense to skip straight to Leopard 2A4”… and that would have made more sense if anything, since at least we can talk ab out lineups in Ground Battles.
So like Tranche 2 currently.
So 4 near-identical variants of the exact same plane for marginal changes that, instead, can very well be implemented in a more straight way through the addition of 2-3 different variants instead of 4…? Is this not redundant?

You know how many Bf 109s, P-51s, Spitfires, etc we have in WT?
“Late”
Nothing to do with variants of planes here, it’s just some weaponry not ingame for balance.
They can just use folders so you only have to research 2. Anyone who actually wants the typhoons can do the foldered ones
No the Brits i have talked to claim it would be unfair for sweden to have gotten the Gripen A the update before when the F16C was added and then the C could’ve been added to sweden and Britain in December but it doesnt matter cause sweden is greedy for some reason even if it wouldn’t have changed when Britain got the best Gripen.
Again, you know how many Bf 109s, P-51s, Spitfires, etc we have?
Even marginal upgrades should lead to BR increases to combat BR compression. That’s how it used to work and should be done for top tier as well.
