He claims its a “pure strike aircraft”
but then says
very disingenuous. I don’t need to play the Su-34 to know it’s absolutely ridiculous being in the game. I know because I die at least 2 times every game to them.

Yeah, compare the Su-34 to the ASSTA1 and let me know what performs better 😂
Luftwaffe EF-2000 Tranche 4 (Quadriga) equipped PIRATE IRST ?
But F-2000 Typhoon (Tranche 1) and Typhoon F.2 fitted PIRATE IRST ?
Maybe, yet to be decided I think. But the variant in game did not. Though the variant of Rafale didn’t have 8x MICA or HMD so there is cherry picking

Can’t the EF-2000 actually carry up to (x14) AIM-120Bs?

There was a mock-up showing that but likely no.
There is a proposal for twin-mounted AMRAAM/ METEOR on the outer wing pylons for 8x AMRAAM/METEOR and it’s possible that in war, modifications could be made for it to carry more. But I doubt it. IRIS-T and ASRAAM play a bit part in the Typhoons combat load

Yeah that’s NOT the variant in game.
It would be the same lame excuse as to why they didn’t release the ASSTA3.1 Tornado, but instead gave the ASSTA1 an ahistorical loadout for LJDAMS.
Why release a “new” version of a plane who’s only update is IRST.
Who’s deciding that it underperforms compared to vehicles you listed ? I’ve played 7 nations at top tier and free aced most of their tank, planes and helis. F16, F15 does not pull 14G while fully loaded full mavs and paveways unlike typhoon, AGM-65 does not kill consistently, they are most intercepted a-g missiles at top tier against Pantsir and VT1 slingers. Only promising ammunition is out there kh38 that still just like every other IR missile starts tracking within 12km range.
At max range for mavs(considering you have to be at high altitude to have overview in the battle zone) time to impact is not practical which means either target is dead or lost line of sight or something even real you are being chased by interceptor. I simply dont care how you run your typhoon, this thing can print nukes with 18x brimstone without rearming on AF and it still does have more A-A missile than other multiroles at that br. It is by far has better irst than su27 and ir lock can be swap to radar lock with one button.
Do we only have german typhoon in the game ? Does the topic of discussion is tornado vs su34 ? Are those 2 vehicles are sitting at same br ? n=1 Su34 op cuz i get killed twice every game ? And y’all stil thinking brimstone is the matter of discussion. Typhoon is too good, even with laser only brimstone it still performs better than its 12.7 counterparts out there.
It’s underperforming compared to real-life. If that no longer matters then give the Typhoon PGMs or AGM-65s. If it does matter. Then give it Brimstone 2s. GMTI/T radar mode, etc etc. I don’t care that it can get a lot of kills. So can a Rafale, or Su-34 or F-16 or F-15. Only nation that is really struggling in CAS at the moment is Sweden with the Gripen.

And it should be.
Sure it could have 6x mmW mode brimstones but that just worse than the full loadout. I reckon 6 mmW are equivalent to 9 SAL.

Im not necessarily against them all being SAL only, but being limited to Brimstone 1s is the greatest nerf.
Brimstone 2s would give you far more flexibility and usability and can still be SAL only. Their individual range would be more comprable to other top tier AGMs. I would reckon 2-3 Brimstone 2s limited to SAL would equal 1x AASM quite comfortably.
Could even go to Brimstone 3s to get 0 drift IOG, would add a psuedo-GPS guidance to them
Its the ideal balancing buff and as an added bonus, would finally give the Typhoon its historical Brimstone loadout. MMW can come as soon as better SPAAs are added to the other 9 nations and then just limited via exponetial SP costs past 6.
When combined with the currently missing GMTI/T mode that should be able to track both moving and stationary ground targets (even should be able to ID what the target is) and the lack of FnF can be mitigated entirely

Isn’t brimstone 2 60km ??? at least from what i read on wikipedia
Listen bud,
The title of the discussion is Typhoon’s Devastating Arsenal
L M F A O - Brimstones are quite literally the topic of discussion.
It increases the range by about 200% which means that in theory 60km range. But given that Brimstone 1 should have a max range of 20km but translates more to about 10km under most situations in War Thunder, I would guess Brimstones 2 would have an effective range of like 30km, at least I doubt you’ll be firing them off further than that on pure IOG alone, but you would still need to close within <20km to mark the target with a laser. I reckon they would be of most use still within 15km, but you would have far far less loiter time per missile
AASM and KH-38s though have a range of 70km according to wiki. So its less than them.
SAL mitigates the fact we have a quantity advantage, we should not ALSO be limited in individual missile performance.
I reckon you could still fire off 6x AASM/KH-38s, land and rearm and be back over the battlefield before the Typhoon has gone through half of it’s Brimstone load. it also assumes you are running nothing but Brimstones. I would still recommend taking at some PW4s because they can be used in Semi-FnF at the very least, which reduces the quantity even more.
And yes. This most certainly will come up in this discussion, as the “Devastating Arsenal” has been nerfed into oblivion, whereas the blatantly OP KH-39 missiles are thriving in game.
I posted the stats from Thunderskill, I know its not 100% accurate, but when you take into account the typhoon should have very good A2G ordinance you can compare it to the Su-34, in terms of A2G performance. Which I did. You simply said:
Which is, quite literally, N=1. (Which I VERY much don’t believe you)
So called “nerfed into oblivion” ammunition when got into my hands
So you are allowed to make statement from a website that barely creditable but i can’t use myself as a reference, funny!
Sure I’m lying about my kd right, like you can’t type in my name in game and can’t look it up.

Let be real here what carrying brimstone is how amazing eft is not because brimstone are good or anything
That why you can see different between Brimstone on GR4 vs EFT
It just hellfire on jet overall lol talking about eft do this thong have something like IR fnf guided bomb?

pretty much im trying to tell em that but nope they seem to not wanna understand, brimstone is like hellfire but also pulls much better G and that’s why it is best heli killer and iog somehow actually works unlike hellfire
