But youtube comments will tell you it’s not actually an FM nerf :D
I must congratulate Gaijin, not only did they fix nothing major/important about the aircraft ever since they added it, they broke it even more, to a point the only thing it can do right now is imitate an F-15E style of gameply of slinging AMRAAMs and then running cus it can no longer dogfight effectively.
The Typhoon is just the Gripen, it was very good and now in true Gaijin fashion it has been nerfed hard.
Now like the Gripen in a few updates time when the Su-35 and F-15EX are added the Typhoon might get those buffs to make it realistic.
At the moment though I do not see any changes barring maybe the Radar and Gaijin finally adding a UV filter to the cockpit…
Nah, they ain’t gonna fix the radar. Their “”“internal statistics”“”" are probably saying that the EFT is performing fine so it doesn’t need any buffs/fixes, it needs more nerfs. I’m guessing EFT players are just too good, and Rafale players too bad - that’s why we’ve got this dichotomy of one getting constantly nerfed, and the other getting constantly buffed.
The 1.5x multiplier is not how much more than can pull. Its only the structural limits. So if an aircraft can only pull 9G it will only pull 9G, however if it has a 12G structural limit the ingame structural limit will be 12x1.5=18G, but that doesn’t mean it can now pull 18G aerodynamically, it still only had 9G of pull it will still pull 9G.
We don’t have the “Flight System Computer” limiting us to 9Gs to preserve the pilot like the real life jets do, the airframes are therefore allowed to pull as much as they can.
Question is: why was the Eurofighter coded to have a 12G limit.
Because it could turn too well at high speed, players complained that the Typhoon could defend against BVR threats too effectively.
To my knowledge there was no bug report for the change it is just something Gaijin have done. Like the Gripen changes to restrict the Typhoon, as a result an F-4S will pull similar G now
That doesn’t make sense. The “12g” limit isn’t absolutely safe limit every plane use. 12g is within 9g…9g*1.5. 18g absolute structure limit is nonsense, nobody in his mind would built such a plane that would be overweight garbage. Creators specially don’t allow planes to be overstrengthed for flight regimes at which plane would never even fly.
I’d argue that they would never be totally unplayable. F-15E can play long BVR and win due to having more Fox3’s. Su-30 can just use R-77-1 as APS lol.
