Eurofighter thrust wrong?

i understand dev server and things are early i was just wondering why the thrust on the aircraft is the same for the rb199 and the ej200

the thrust should be different for both engines with the ej200 having more thrust than it currently has.

also no expert but surely the engines on the fgr.4 should have been upgraded to ej200s after the aircrafts got upgraded from f.2s to fgr.4?

Its probably not right at the moment, the thrust and flight model will be improved over time

I hope you guys get what you want, sounds like the 229 issue for f15.

Ehh… If anything the Eurofighter will have BIG nerfs because its FM is ridiculous. Its like an arcade FM on steroids

its also got like the same turn radius as early monoplanes and such, its insane

Which it’s supposed to, also for the thread, each EJ200 should have 9070~9100 kgf or 20,000lbs of thrust per engine

Things I noticed in the current EF FM:

You can land fly and land without any wings without much effort.

You have similar acceleration to an F-16C at just 101% afterburner, 110% is like the arcade F-16C or a bit higher.

Best high speed and low speed energy retention in turns. Does everything better than the Rafale regarding FM.

It should be EJ200s from the get go. RB199 was only used on Prototypes and early IPAs to my knowledge.

More generally about the FM, it’s quite honestly insane.

It should do minus a degree or two of instantaneous turn

RB199 is jus a copy and paste from Tornado F3

The thrust values are different, it’s just named incorrectly. If you look at the German Typhoon it has the same engine but correctly named Eurojet EJ200.

Still lacking 1000kgf of thrust

X-ray of engine is not correct.
And static thrust is correct.

I’d like to see proof of engines over-performing at sea level, cause right now static thrust is correct.

Which ones?

oh idk the russian ones that have been nerfed to the ground the su-27 and mig-29 have shit flight models due to the overpowered missiles they had at the time, which are no longer overpowered
