Just that sentence alone is just ridiculous and it’s enough proof that the Radar is just a made up gaijin radar
At least it not the only jet that you have, again id honestly take a f16 over some gripen.
Well… it is and it isnt. CAPTOR-M is a heavily upgraded Blue Vixen (Sea Harrier FA2) Where data is classified, they are just C&Ping from the Blue Vixen. But there is a lot they dont model and a lot they wont and we’ll just have to wait and see if/what they do choose to model.
But its not uncommon to be waiting 6+ months for radars to be fixed. Im saving my pitch fork for the next major update
Yeah, though like the Gripen, The Typhoon is never going to see its full glory. Just Pray the Gripen E gets its belly missiles
More like pray the gripen E isnt gimped beyond belief or that other nations dont get it before us like the C because that was such a good idea and totally didn’t screw up the only jet we have
Also considering gaijin cant even give the 5th bomb pylon to the gripen C its more pray they dont just remove more pylons and give the E the gripen C radar lmao.
Typhoon really needs help,
Radar as mentioned is terrible the RWR and MAWS doesn’t know what’s happening with missiles marked as coming in the front hemisphere then hitting you in the rear hemisphere. MAWs system designed to counter MANPADS not achieving that try it against a Stinger or Stela (in IR mode) and the MAWS will not protect the aircraft unlike the MAWS on a helicopter that makes it borderline immune to IR missiles.
It’s just not fun, it’s like stumbling around in the dark. Even an F-4 is a threat when you cannot see it/detect it and shoot at it. Couple that with the worst ground attack missile at top tier (yes they are fun, but so much work and not worth the work when they do minimal damage or decide to just fly into a tree)
LGBs are dead at top tier
It’s playable in IRST mode, but again you have such a narrow cone of vision and no real elevation controls you may as well give the pilot a pair of binoculars.

Yeah but in game it feels exactly like the blue vixen radar with a more range and 6 datalinks.
You really describe it great, the whole plane just feels confused
Even the FLIR built in has horrible resolution
Because it is. Nothing that makes it the CAPTOR-M has yet to be modeled. Like Priority Track or GMTI/T
With the exception of some slight differences in scan modes and something that I cant quite put my finger on that is wrong when it comes to locating targets. It is Blue Vixen.

Everything radar would be greatly appreciated. Then there’d be a reason for the MiG-29 9-12 to be added to the SSSR tree
Still an unfinished mess when the Rafale came out at the same time, no issues with its radar, and it got random missile additions. lol
Starting to feel like the F4F ICE again…

Ah yeah, i forgot about the weekly eurofighter suffer thread, i think everyone get it no need to do one each time.
Some people didn’t have it unlocked right away, for then effort and the SL it’s a let down
There are, 3 main thread for it, and look at the profile of the one that created this one in activity -) topics.
At this rate there will be one each week for few months.
Did the Eurofighter Ever use Aim9m in service? Like don’t they use the IRIS-T?
"I think they will eventually fix the Eurofighter. More advanced jets are going to be added, so they must upgrade and fix the radar to make it competitive in the future. In terms of the flight model, nothing that can be added will be better than the jets we have in the game right now, such as the Eurofighter, Rafale, and F-15. These jets can rival fifth-generation fighters in flight performance. So, the only thing Gaijin can do is improve their systems and armament. They’re essentially forced to buff them.
Yes and no but yes.
Yes because Typhoons initially used Aim-9s during the prototype phase of development.
no because when they entered service ASRAAM and IRIS-T had also entered service and those were used instead
but yes because ASRAAM and IRIS-T were made to be intercompatible with Aim-9 and there is nothing stopping Typhoons to this day slap Aim-9X onto the wings if absolutely needed.
(I also dont know about the other Typhoon operators and what they use for IR missile)
Within the game though. Both are too strong to come at the moment and I dont think any effort should be made to get them, because it wont get either anytime soon as they are too good. Loadouts are always a balancing decision.
Aim-120C5s maybe, but the main loadout ugprade actually needed is Brimstone 2s
