I believe you, the Mirage 2k was the gold standard for tailless delta winged jets at the time but the Tejas Mk 1/1A is a smaller and lighter airframe with:
Different wing mounting (mid wing vs low wing on the mirage)
Different wing planform (compound delta like on the viggen vs simple delta on the mirage)
Different inlets (no shock cones)
Not to mentions completely different avionics and FBW control laws (this is where the Dassualt engineers helped initially, it has since been replaced by in-house software)
The Mirage 2k was much liked in the IAF service which is why they decided to procure Rafale recently and dassault engineers were consulted in the initial design phases. In the end however, the Tejas is its own domestic project with only superficial similiarities with the Mirage.
Leopard 2A5S of the KMW company (29 pieces were made in Germany), August 3, 1998, at the Tender in Greece, with a German crew, as well as a Greek one for testing. Since the gaijin refuses to add the Leo 2 TVM-1 (min./max.) of Germany, then we can take a different path, right gaijin?
Sadly i have to tell you, thats not a turret, thats simply a Sd.Kfz.7/1, where the gunshield is folded for transport.(Couldnt find a better angle pic, but a link to the Forum Topic would be nice, id love to look through them too, you can also post your interesting (mainly german) finds also Here in this Field Mods and more Topic.
Well damn…that’s 4x AIM-174B’s (aka SM-6’s), 3x AIM-120’s, and 2x AIM-9X’s on a F/A-18F (two-seater version). Even has an IRST sensor with the fuel tank.
Interesting, it seems as though the Germans weren’t fond of folding the shields, I almost never see any photos of the travel configuration.
I’ll drop the link to the forum thread in a few hours, the bookmark is on my PC. There are around 800+ pages primarily composed of German armor, I’m sure there is more hiding among them that could be applicable to the game.
I saw you renamed the German field mods topic to be more inclusive for all nations; I’ll be sure to post there in the future.
