Request to add the brimstone and the SPEAR 3 to the Spanish eurofighters
For the loadouts I have used those of the British Eurofighter, the same with the range
There are 4 different loadout tickets since Spain operates one seater and two seater, both with their versions of mechanical radar and AESA (since Spain does not plan to update its entire fleet to AESA, a portion of the aircraft will remain with mechanical radars)
In summary, the aircraft that would carry these new loadouts are #3229 #5507 #3629 #5508
