When play heart of iron4 TNO mod ,a world Axis win ww2.

 

and I look Nazi and Japan Aircraft Tech tree

Is not very different between real world in  1960 to 1990

 

Nazi gen4 Multirole combat aircraft is Eurofighter Typhoon.

 

Japan gen4 aircraft is F2 but with different name.

 

So  What is gen3 and gen4 jet look like if Axis win ww2?

The USSR and Western allies put a lot of effort into recovering information about and then evaluating aircraft from Germany and Japan. Particularly in the case of Germany their designers quite often continued to work in aviation after the war.

 

With this in mind why would current designs be different when allied and axis technology was pretty much fused after WW2?

It's an interesting question...

 

But I don't think you can say that 4th Gen Axis Germany = Eurofighter because Eurofighter has had significant input from the UK as well as from Italy and Spain.

 

Yes, after WW2, the US and USSR took a lot of research from Germany but that doesn't mean the resulting aircraft would be the same.

 

For example, look at the Ta-183, which was in development at the end of WW2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_183

 

You can easily say that this aircraft influenced both the MiG-15 and the F-86 Sabre as well as the Saab 29 Tunnan:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_F-86_Sabre

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_29_Tunnan

 

Kurt Tank himself used the basis of the Ta-183 to create the Pulqui II:

You can compare for yourself the data from Wikipedia:

So even if the basic layout of the "Ta-183 family" is the same, the specs are quite different.

 

Another post-war aircraft by a German designer, in this case Willy Messerschmitt: the Hispano Aviación / Helwan Ha-300 (interestingly with for the 3rd prototype an engine designed by the Austrian-German Brandner)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helwan_HA-300

 

And the HAL HF-24 Marut designed by Kurt Tank:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_HF-24_Marut

 

These aircraft area more difficult to compare with similar types, but in any case they are quite different from aircraft of the same age. Neither was a great success but that is likely due to the limitations of the countries of origin.

Specifically what aircraft would exist would be almost impossible to predict. Germany would have likely retained a technological lead early on, but even if they won the war (depending on how it was won - did Germany take France and UK and then ceasefire? Did they successfully take the USSR? Did they nuke the US?) they would have had to deal with the effects of the war on their economy. The US would have been much better off in this regard in most situations which might have allowed a hypothetical losing US side catch up to Germany technologically without mass capturing their scientists or enjoying post war cooperation with Britain. I also wonder how long the Nazis would last post WWII, a victorious Nazi Germany could have ended up falling apart like the USSR.

Another thing you need to consider: all planes developed in Germany itself after the war were designed to fit NATO doctrines. There were some marked differences between NATO doctrines and WW2 German doctrines and it would make sense if Axis Germany would have continued evolving their own doctrines rather than adopt NATO ones.
