Back to the thread being a desolate landscape of despair and silent agony then I guess, y’all would say discussions of the canopy is “off topic” because we’re discussing the glass and not the fighter it’s placed on or something.
Can’t you do anything but sarcastically say what people say?
It’s better to be quiet and desolate than noisy on this topic.
Eh… could? Maybe. Later versions especially, but maybe not the most common ones we’d use.
Look at the current state of BR compression, we have Sabres at the same BR as MiG-21s. Personally I’ll be very, surprised if any Eurofighter (apart from maybe the DA / IPA series) is at a BR where it can’t see stealth aircraft.
Even if it doesn’t end up seeing stealth aircraft RCS will likely start playing a bigger role in the game going forward (Gaijin is already looking into a report about Radar Absorbent Material applied to British Tornadoes during the Gulf War).

Dude, it’s clear you haven’t looked beyond the compression. 9.3 - 10.7 is quite literally where it all is, and it’s there cause ground hasn’t been decompressed yet, which takes some time.
So no, the first gen Eurofighters likely won’t be seeing stealth aircraft.
The F-4E, F-4EJ, F-104S (non-ASA) and MiG-21bis can all face MiG-29s, F-16s, and F-14Bs. With that in mind Eurofighter’s facing stealth aircraft is hardly unthinkable.
The most modern* Eurofighters facing stealth aircraft is hardly unthinkable.
F-4E can still assist the team in winning. 11.0 to 12.0 is different than 13.3 to 15.0+.
F-104S certainly can, along with Mig-21 Bis.
It is entirely dependent on BR Compression of the time. Ideally, yes, only the latest variant of the Typhoon would see stealth, though would still be a typhoon that would see them. But I can very much see an overlap between the early/first Typhoon and early stealth aircraft, such as the F-117, providing they dont screw up the BR decompression, IF we get one.
But flame is right, maybe a early typhoon may not encounter stealth, but many jets that weren’t “stealth” had RAM applied to them, and with things like ECMs on the way and radar becoming more advanced, discussions like this will be key.
Yeah, 11.0 to 12.0 actually exists and you have no clue how they’ll implement future fighters in the game. Not one.
We won’t have accurate information until Aim-9Ms, AAM-3s, Python 4s, etc are in the game.
I’ve always stated we can’t accurately place a lot of aircraft until ARHs & IRCCM missiles have matured.
I don’t agree, I think the Eurofighter spans a broad area though so we can expect it to fit somewhere between 12.0+ and that is probably the best guess we’re going to get at all and anything else is based on luck rather than any sense we make of it.

However if you Google it, you can find any citation you want.
Dont know if u guys did see this already
its from a presentation for norway and put up on the web by an norwegian MOD
So I had just looked this up, the Striker 1 aka HMSS(Helmet Mounted Symbology System) was introduced with Block 2B and received night vision equipment with Block 5
seems to be from a spanish eurofighter

I hope gaijin would reduce team sizes before they add these things. I dont want to face 100 missiles

14 meteors and 2 iris T, apparently it is possible but not “good” because the typhoon would become to heavy, scarily the article i read about this mentioned the f15EX apparently it carries up to 22 missles
