The Eurofighter (AESA) balance problem and potential solutions to rectify it

This point makes absolutely no sense and actually works against your argument.

As it stands there is quite literally 0 reasons to EVER grind any of the German EFT’s. They are simply worse than the other 2 nations. Thats it. No PIRATE or LWS on the first EFT’s we got, then a worse radar on the second one to kick German players while they’re down.

This isnt “a reason to actually bother grinding more than 1” this is a reason to never ever play Germany, and always play the UK, because you will have access to better top tier jets. Period.

Consistently denied things to make it strictly worse than other nations despite it being an established rule of gaijins that all the things its being denied COULD be given to it.

Btw, it wasn’t even going to get AIM-9M’s, it was originally going to get the strictly worse AIM-9Li, and people fought to get the 9M.

As I stated before, you dont get it, because you are never on the wrong end of the EFT imbalance issues.

Here you go. You really don’t understand the substance of why we’re upset, right?
However damn small it might be. It’s still a DISADVANTAGE. 10 degrees is not only a notch angle - it’s also a bigger margin of allowed error. An angle at which a lock will hold in a dogfight, a spare second to get into notch or into better notch. Just why screw us if you could just, for example, not?

No, My argument is that AMK is a MASSIVE upgrade. Limiting it to only one nation would be akin to saying that only one nation is allowed ASRAAM or IRIS-T.

Britain has the weakest A2G loadout as we dont get GBU-48s, should we be the onyl nation to get SAL Brimstone 2s to compensate? You know, Britain suffers without GBU-48s.

or bvr, that extra 10 degree at long range will make notching much more easier

ten degrees when its so far off boresight that it DOES NOT MATTER

this is the pixels on a screen equivalent to crying because youre 5ft 11 and a half instead of 6ft flat.

AESA gives such a strong lock that this is a non issue

that i agree, amk sould be added to all eft when gaijin decide they want to add it

you guys lose on something that is historically accurate and not a big deal, but then get everything else

ok where is my SCALP-EG, AIM-9/I-1, Lizard-4s, CASMU Skyshark, etc on my A-200C. Also remove the brimstones on the Tornado SLE. The devs also gave the SLE like 240 more flares than the A-200C (despite being the same pods) because they know that German mains need more flares… wonder why

What did you lose out on before? IRST??? lmaooo

Once again, they do absolutely matter. They provide a much greater margin of error and also most of the time you’re going to want to pull further into the notch than 90° to compensate for closure rate.

Yep, and thats all ive really been arguing against, this idea that AMK should be added to compensate for the difference in radar performance betwene Mk1 and Mk2.

Its the nuclear option for something which, imo, wont be noticable most of the time.

Again, akin to giving Britain MMW Spear-3s to compensate for the lack of GBU-48 or Equivalent.

When you even by using 90 degrees? I mean its gonna be pretty rare as you will only be a 90 for a few seconds before the 120s lock and you go cold.

Pretty sure nobody here would say britain shouldnt get GBU-48… afaik all the german players have been supportive of any bug report posted for the EFT’s in general, regardless of nation.

o but it does, at least for below average pilot like me, i can’t notch a missile even from a long range when the missile is at exact 90 degree, it should be a little beyond 90 to effectively notch it

Well yuh, why would you ever bother playing the German eurofighter then? The first one and now this second one are worse than the ones found in the UK and Italy. AGAIN.

There’s absolutely no reason for this EF to be worse when it can also recieve a better radar at the same time. God forbid the Germans get something we can’t have, am I right? But you would definitely be okay with AMK going to all Eurofighters when it was only Germany who developed it and fielded it on its fleet.

But that imo feels like with this whole argument by a few for AMK.

A small thing, that isnt really relevant being blown way out of proportion and demanding an OP solution to resolve.

If germany gets Mk2 or Mk1 gets changed, will I care, no. But the attitude by some regarding this difference, you d think that Germany was only being given CAESER.

Quite often? I tend to launch my c5s from around 40km and they have to guide for around 15 seconds which is plenty of time to start notching.

Thats… a self admitted skill issue and not something to evaluate a vehicle by…

Because you don’t need to grind the British or Italian trees? Hows the 1st one worse too?

It should, but it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t.

and when i use british eft i will not have that problem, see the issue here?
