Ok, that’s good. Because I was getting a bit worried there.
Just so you know, I like the Gripen a lot :p
It’s Gripen > EFT > Rafale for me in terms of the Eurocanards.
I don’t dislike the Rafale at all, the Eurocanards in general set a high bar, and I have difficulty choosing lol.
PIRATE is the IRST system right?
The thing that serves no purpose in WT currently other than being a gimmick, especially in the post-HMD era; however that’s not an opinion relating on whether Typhoon should get it or not.
If Tranche 2 equipped it IRL, sure it should get it; otherwise I’m not losing sleep over a feature most players won’t use.
And yes, I’m not against prototype systems losing IRST, cause coincidentally the things with IRST either don’t have uncaged weapons or have HMD/S systems.
It would be incredibly annoying, given the thing was trialed with it but logistics. If they want to remove it, then they really should remove it from the F15s, F16s, etc.
Rafale>Gripen>EFT for me i Like the rafale the more and consider it the best both in look and capabilites, then the gripen
because i like it concept of a lightweight cheap home defence fighter and i find it look cool, then last the EFT mainly because i find it ugly, very capable air superiority fighter but lacks in other department.
I’ve always imagined the rafale and typhoon to be sidegrades to one another rather than saying X is entirely better (despite me liking the typhoon more but thats off topic :3 )
In some ways it objectively is. For example sustained turn rate should be 20°/s with 4,300 kg of fuel and four missiles. Apparently it was about 18°/s when the dev server closed.
