oh btw it supercruises at mach 1.5 without a load and reportedly between 1.2 -1.3 with a combat load (expect 2 FT and missiles)

ahhahah I am sorry that was meant for diffrent thread. FC.
Removed the coment.

Yeah there’s a couple of sources for its supercruise that can be found further up but this one I believe you’ve already posted states Mach 1.5 with an air superiority missile loadout, which is at least 6 missiles if not 8.
Adds to a previous one I found suggesting similar.

The glazing.
Ugly as hell.
What are you talking about? The real world documents state 1.4 mach for the Gripen when loaded with a specific payload. Gaijin doesn’t model mounted ordnance drag properly (developers intentional decision)… thus the Gripen can nearly super cruise with full air to air loadout. The top speed won’t be limited, thus the high speed w/ ordnance won’t be as much of an advantage as it should be for the Eurofighter.
You guys need to actually read what I’m sharing instead of getting angry and posting nonsense just because you saw my tag.

How so? Ordinance has a dedicated drag coefficient when mounted.
It’s too low. It can be observed on PGM-2000. As this guided munitions cannot hit properly target at distance if drag is increased and it doesn’t make sense to increase drag only when mounted - its low drag. This results in very low drag compared to few 2000 MK84 bombs when flying at full throttle.
The mounted drag coefficient exists, but Gaijin has chosen not to model it properly. There is a very minor effect. The JAS 39 as an example should have a maximum top speed of 1.4 mach with full air to air loadout + drop tank (iirc)… the Eurofighter is claimed to be capable of supercruising with such a loadout and yet it won’t be at much of an advantage compared to the contemporaries due to this game design decision.
Another example is the MiG-29 and F-14, both would have drastically lower top speeds with full ordnance mounted (Especially the Tomcat, and especially at low alts)… but they simply don’t have these issues. Eurofighter will be no different… hence my comment.

What Russian shill? Who is screaming?
You guys really can’t see that you were the ones who got the thread locked last time? Really? You guys got punished and are going to blame it on me?
This type of discourse from your side of the party is what got the thread closed last time. Knock it off, if you got an issue with me you can just flag my comment and PM staff to let them look into it. No sense in actively contributing to the problem you are quite literally crying about at the exact same time.
You can’t even say I got the thread locked either because I haven’t been the one spam flagging comments either.

I read what you’re sharing but I disagree with your interpretation
It’s not opinionated, it’s true or untrue. Is it true that the eurofighters high top speed with large payloads will not be as much of an advantage due to the developers game decision? Yes.
If all other aircraft are not penalized for carrying a draggy payload, the advantage the Eurofighter has in that regime is less. There isn’t much to disagree with here.
Kuwait and Qatar’s Tranche 3As have it as well

hmm smells like a CAPTOR-E thing then

I’m fairly certain it’s an antenna for the ILS system. VOR/LOC/GS antenna
Possibly moved from the radome in order to accommodate ECRS
are you a game developer? no
do you have detailed insight into the Game developers intents to implement anything? no
do you have any sources that prove that this will be a problem in the game at a future point in time? again no
because you do not posess the position to make official gaijin statements that means that I will interpret every single of your claims as a deeply personal unfounded opinion to wich I can disagree

Then it has even more thrust if there is nothing draging it and others down. Thats good too. Mach 1.8 at all altediudes here we come xD

No, I am relaying what the game’s developers stated.
No, I am relaying what the developers themselves said.
The developers stated that they will not model this as an intentional decision, while they have gone back on their decisions in the past I find it unlikely they will make this change.
You’re very correct, I do not work for Gaijin. I am however discussing what the developers have stated.
Next time, ask for the source instead of being obtuse.
The top speed of the airframe when clean will still be the limit with mounted ordnances. I very much doubt the Eurofighter is capable of 1.8 mach at lower altitudes. @Gunjob what can we expect for max speed ASL or 1km?
Eurofighter advertise the top speed at sea level as Mach 1.25 / 826 kts.
