Eurofighter Typhoon - Germany's Best Fighter Jet

is the tvc still as ridiculous as it was on the dev?

Pretty sure it got buffed

It’s not like the first dev server, but I think the exact same as the last dev.

Su30 doesn’t perform as well as you think, you can just energy fight it and it will fall out of the sky (assuming the scenario is a guns only fight), it only has chances if you shoot r-73’s or if you manage to get in a 1 circle fight.

more than a buff it was a fix, the nozzle tilt got adjusted I’m pretty sure, and the empty weight got increased turning it in even more of a boat.

previously it was flying backwards and somehow generating enough lift to not drop like a rock

Yep its like it doesnt have canards.

Kind of agree, though after a bunch of guns only fights I gotta say the eurocanards feel pretty evenly matched now, especially the gripen to be honest, the AoA button gave it a big chance to keep up even more against the other two, Rafale wins more easily in slower and 1 circle scenarios (as it should), while the Gripen and Euro have more chances in rate fights.

Well, it still hovers basically, which is silly.

the aoa button is absolute rubbish for these aircraft…

Still not sure the Typhoon should have an AOA button.
This is a crutch to allow Gaijin to nerf the flight regime.

The AOA switch on Typhoon is to enable low speed recovery.

For the euro it feels really unstable, and I think for the rafale too since I saw it flat spinning a few times. But the Gripen, after gathering a few opinions from the people I fought against, seems to be more stable.

what i’m saying its complete bogus
you simply wont pull 90° of aoa in a eurofighter doing some kind of spinning cobra maneuver with over 90° of aoa
thats just not going to happen

I think it only goes from 24 to 50 ish?

Gripen deserves its fm to be competitive again…too many salty Russian and US mains have buried it.

if you end up in this kind of a situation irl… eject, something has gone horribly wrong

So realistic…-24kph with full burner in a jet that has 90’000kg of thrust.

😆

Keep in mind, you got 2 of these Engines xD
So we speak about 2x 90’000 Newton xD

Is the maneuverability nerf justified? Is there a source? Or just a nerf? If so, why is Rafale not toned down?

So far Rafale has sources saying what it can do so no nerfs so far. Could just be the RFT suffering from Gripenitis where gaijin adjusts it based on their sources.

Pretty much just a nerf to make it “a bit more fair” as far as I am aware i.e Gripen syndrome. It’s still underperforming in terms of ITR and STR afaik (could be wrong tho, but I haven’t seen anything to confirm that isn’t the case).

I can do what I want; it doesn’t pull more than 12g. Feel kind of helpless.

Surely it can now get its F&F ordnance in GRB, since the FM is now F-16 like.
