>they'd have improved with the technological leaps happening too.

No they wouldn't. Krauts basically hit their celing in 45 in terms of technology. This is why Germany hasn't made a single breakthrough in military tech since ww2, and the military research afterwards has been dominated by USA and Soviet union. And don't tell me it was because of ''muh occupation, muh suppressed research''. West Germany was literally the first fucking line of defense against Soviet Union for the entirety of cold war, and a backbone of NATO in Europe. The pinnacle of their achievement is Leopard tank, a basic bitch MBT with not much to show for it.

Jet fighters? Please. Euro fighter is the prime example of the ''look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power'' meme. All leading industrial powers of the European continent worked for years on it, and all they came up was a fighter slightly better than F16, and way behind F22.

People need to stop jerking off to German tech. Its nothing special really, and its superiority has been nothing more than a WW2 myth. Look at the fucking current car market, for fucks sake. Literally Chink copies of European brands are outselling German cars in their own market.
