Is it the DA.7? If so, DONT SHARE IT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET BANNED
Because the DA.7 is still secret (even tho it was leaked and is aviable online)

You cant use it at slow speed as the rudder wants to flip the aircraft and make you crash.
It’s all very disappointing

you can use it at low speed but in a limited fashion imo
i prefer to use it for short instantenous turns if needed, then disable so it doesnt cause non sense

Looks like the AOA can be changed via Software updates
FCS-Softwareversionen:

  • Phase 1: bis Ende 1995
  • Phase 2: ab Ende 1995
  • Phase 2A: Januar 1998, erstmals bei DA2, “Carefree Handling” im Unterschallbereich bis 25° AoA und +6 g
  • Phase 2B1: April 1999, schwere Aussenlasten, 28° AoA und +7.25 g
  • Phase 2B2: Juli 2000, 30-35° AoA und +9 g
  • Phase 3: 2001, 9 g Flugleistungsbereich, erster Serienstandard
  • Phase 4: Luft/Boden-Bewaffnung
  • Phase 5: Volle Kampffähigkeiten
    didnt find for now a better source

It doesn’t exist as Typhoon doesn’t use that kind of system.
AOA control is only for low slow speed recovery it is not for pulling “cobras”

Typhoon like Rafale flight control system is designed to operate and give the pilot what they need.
I don’t believe the flight control system can be overridden and I haven’t seen any documents/pilot sources to confirm otherwise

I prefer to have an accurate fm and not a gimick that Russian jets and legacy gen 4 airframes need.

Also another intresting wiki entry thats very Informative, sadly most sources it cites are dead

the eurofighter isn’t that great at very high aoa flight anyway
MP-AVT-307-19.rar (2.3 MB)

No but it is at ITR and STR and in game it is underperforming in both regimes

fixed after we get f22

This is why I hate how the devs do things

Typhoon/Rafale should be the best in game and instead they crap on Typhoon, buff the Rafale and as you said Typhoon will find miraculous buffs/reports actioned when the Su-35 and F-15EX are added.

Sick of it

Phase 2B2 corroborates what I’ve already heard and seen from the people in the know-how tbh, so the old FM was unironically more accurate it seems.

Also for those interested, the source used by Iluminas is the official Austrian Airforce website for the Eurofighter, as such, it’s quite primary.

Did you check the links with an archive?

Gaijin will chose what to accept, and when to action. There is sadly no open transparent policy.
It really is “dealers choice”

some already link to the way back machine but even those are dead

The button doesn’t even do anything anyway, not anything meaningful at any rate.

EF was made for transonic speeds, the plane was not made for slow speeds and high AoA. In reality, having high alpha and maneuverability at slow speeds is not that important. That explains the AoA limit on the EF. Although even here there has been a drift towards 30 AoA due to the aerodynamic kit which of yet nobody wants.

Eurofighter is more of a average 13.7 right now.
