Maybe in a guns only fight it is if you airbreak it perfectly but that is not how an aircraft should be measured over all.
Eurofighter feels like I would expect an heavily upgraded F-4F ICE would feel.
One with changed aerodynamics, new engines and adjustet FCS.
It is called Eurofighter, it looks like an Eurofighter but it is no Eurofighter.
Difference is that for the rafale 2 things corroborate the existence of such a system
i can’t count the times the instructor killed me because it has overriden my inputs to get out of a flatspin in this game XD
And the big problem with both the rafale and EFT is that the flat spin gets worse as time goes. The rafale hits insane rotational speed, and it’s impossible to get out of it with split throttle and good inputs. I tried for a very long time
I am not clued up on Rafale it was more the point that neither a Rafale or a Typhoon need an AOA override to turn inside an F-16 or a Flanker…
But here we are
Its like you want proof bacteria doesn’t exist.
But the EF can’t have the ability to turn of its fbw because it is an unstable airframe and it would just get out of control if you deactivate the fbw.
Causing damages in the millions.
I think you misunderstand something. The button is to override the limits (G-Force, AoA, etc.) of the FBW and not deactivating the FBW completly. These limits are there to keep the flight envelope inside the given parameters even if the airframe could withstand more (at the cost of airframe lifetime). So with this button you trade airframe lifetime for increased manouverability.
Deactivation of the FBW is impossible in modern aircraft, except the avionics fails with all its redundancies but then you would be lost either way.
All I have seen until know it that the “button” recovers you from any departure from flight irl and doesn’t override any g-limits
(most planes are limited to 9g I don’t think it is reasonable to assume that it overrides the g limit to anything higher than that)
On top of that from what I have heard in pilot interviews the EF recovers automatically and does not need any pilot input
Mentioned so by numerous pilots from various nations.
Further more I have seen the RAF Typhoon display twice and I have never seen a Typhoon perform a “Cobra”
AOA override in Typhoon is myth and a crutch Gaijin have used to nerf the ITR and STR of Typhoon
Ontop of that it doesn’t make any sense for the recovery button to override g limits because you won’t pull alot of Gs at low speeds anyways
Typhoon doesn’t have the ability to turn off the AoA limit, look at it like an F-16.
Typhoon really is inferior to everything now it actually painful to play in ground battles
Gaijin probably believes the black and yellow surrounded button to the right of the stick is the ‘cobra button’
That is the “Disorientation Recovery Facility” button - basically a button the pilot can press which will automatically recover the the jet to flying straight and level (imagine he gets disoriented or is on the verge of blacking out, he presses that and the jet will recover from a dive etc without his input)
Typhoon and Cobra button don’t belong in the same sentence in any regard
For the purpose of posting on the internet - my source is I read it on aviationtoday.com (there’s a quote from a BAE guy explaining it)
It’s radar isn’t that bad (however I am having issues with it and other radars in tws mode), and it still has the best flight performance in the whole game.
reducing aoa restrictions on the fbw is not the same as turning it off regardless of whether such feature exists on the eurofighter or not
it seems like it had such feature in the testing phase however it was deactivated on operative variants
so it could have been able to do it, however it was deactivated from doing it
however gaijin wants to see that, i guess it is up to them
additionally this feature might not really be based on what the fighter jet has but something added to top tier that exists similar to the mode switch for controls, allowing more aoa in the mouse aim mode with more risk of a stall, similar but not fully the same as full controls mode.
this could exist, even on all aircraft because the stall protection of mouse aim isnt neccessarily same as fly by wire protections on these aircraft
this feature could potentially be added to many more aircraft however it was widely requested on top tier ones

while they did discuss both aoa and recovery buttons, only recovery button was added/kept to my understanding
Rafale exceeds it overall, Radar you have to use in PD HMS mode. Or PD mode TWS is unplayable for Typhoon right now
New livery. Looks amazing.
there is already a custom skin btw
