man what is the engine trust? i wachet video and in devserver rafale have more trust with weaker engine…
I feel like the Eurofighter is underperforming as of right now, feels kind of chunky honestly. For reference, these are Tranche 1 variants in a 2016 Airshow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJeAjnADHD0 - Even with minimum fuel and no armament in-game they just don’t perform as well as they do IRL. (Video references may be janky but even then it just shows the capabilities)

Can someone explain to me how I’m supposed to read those numbere to see the Eurofighter has less thrust? Those all seem like bigger numbers to me

Prolly numbers irl and the one on the devserver havnt been named?
the EF has 90kN thrust on each of its engine, in WT the thrust is displayed in kgf. ATM it has around 8100kgf although 90kN is 9177kgf

Typhoon has more thrust than Rafale on dev server.
@Justgun17 Just shy of 8700kgf on full reheat, not 8100.
Now, whether those are correct or not, I’m not a channel losses expert.
All I know is thrust seems accurate; Typhoon has the correct time to climb in its current state.
Best turnfighter in the game. Does a cobra FLIP. “Feels chunky.” Hmmm…
Now, my results are used in a bug report that will likely buff it; and despite that, Typhoon right now is already performing better in airframe performance than everyone else.

yeah the biggest problem now is managing to keep the wings on the plane at high speed as they like to rip quite easily.
That makes sense to me, thanks.
I was REALLY confused for a second there
No? It feels quite nice
I see Nothing obvious that the current can not do
- irl only 1 ton weight diference is but in devstream 1.6
That video has misinformation in it.
Rafale’s total peak thrust is ~203kn as one example.
I’d treat the typhoon cockpit, HUD and HMD as a massive WIP, not even deployed to Britain or Italy yet. But yes, should have both A2A and A2G symbology for the canon as far as I am aware

agreed. they are pretty disappointing.
Definetly room for some polish, I think that feeling comes from the thrust not being quite right and I think the instant turn is still not quite right. But FM is still WIP
That is 20,000 uninstalled. As of right now the EF has the lowest channel loss out of most fighters. The engine thrust is fine.

Whats confusing me about that is that climb tests mostly seem accurate, and the thrust as seen in testing is also accurate, but the T/W at takeoff definitely isn’t the 1.2 ish that it should be given its inability to accelerate or even maintain speed vertically. And thats with only 4 missiles, not typical takeoff loadouts.
The implication being mass or drag are too high, I would assume mass since low speed drag shouldnt be that big of a deal. Has the excessive empty weight that was previously reported been fixed?

Mass is correct on Typhoon. And if drag is incorrect that’d be indicated by supercruise speed and/or sustained turn rate.
There were also bug reports on those, with the ones on turnrate accepted, not sure if thats been adressed. With supercruise M1.4 is already close to what was claimed so not far off in that way. The same sources used and accepted so far also claim vertical acceleration ability so somethings off
