Tornado F.3 can still be upgraded with AMRAAM and ASRAAM.
For example a Swiss tree for Germany, the Swiss F/A-18C bridges the gap between MiG-29A and EF-2000
Or an SAAF tree would bridge the gap between the F.3 and Eurofighter with a JAS-39C for example

Britain shouldn’t need that much actually to bridge the gap. Shar FA2 and/or Tornado F3 upgrade, both with 9M and AMRAAM would keep us in the fight until the Typhoon, throw in the Harrier Gr9 and Tornado Gr4 and we would be fine in A2G as well.
We also have other options like the Hawk 200. That can be well armed with advanced missile too.
Though if we HAD to have a commonwealth jet, I’d rather take the CF-18 from Canada, than the Gripen from South Africa

Ok so… Why the block 50 of all things?
They aren’t giving it amraams so what’s the point? If the point was to give it LGBs than why not add something like idk the F-111 which is long overdue…it just seems like an odd decision for them to make man.
It’s simple, if a country does a jump from A to C, a subtree of another can add B. It’s foolish to assume any nation besides US/USSR did the same technology jumps.
Great， the plane without the ability to lanuch aim7f got the missile, but the Iseral F4 and J8f lost it radar missile…How fair…
Stop gap/future proofing. Probably like the Tornado F3, its going to get AMRAAM when they come, probably Decemeber update now.

There was another very close leak with the Typhoon the other day :D
Do we have other top tier fighters for other country? USSR and US don’t need those plane anymore…they already got f16 and the mig 29

Not sure i’ve seen many people even talk about this yet but…with F-16C we might see Maverick Gs and E’s with laser guidance rather than TV
I don’t think the current top tier is able to fight against those weapon…
Most of the AA - vt1, adast are tooooooooo weak since the P s-1 verison, and the plane is tooooooo strong
The Gripen C might have forced their hand to be honest, same with the F-15A.
The Gripen A and F-15A were pretty shit, and would have no realistic place in warthunder, and so they are forced to take big leaps in aircraft for everyone to be matched equally.
That’s why we might see the Eurofighter and Typhoon sooner than we think. Maybe end of 2024.
Because the European powers didn’t invest in menial upgrades for a their airforces, and just made the big leaps.

The ADF can already carry Amraam so…
I think we might see F15/su27 in the december verison…
No idea then. Must have been a reason for it, but it definetly wasnt needed. Other nations have absolutely nothing
Oh definitely, if the Su-27 model/animation video leak is true. It’s not even textured or highly detailed, so it’s not ready for this update.
Plus it would be silly, and too soon for it.
Yeah, I was honestly expecting an F-15A or even F-18 long before this and like you said other nations need something.
