I don’t think that’s a question of if, but of when and how soon.
Likely not for long. They’re primarely made of aluminium and titanium (30%, mostly wings). Metal fatigue, propagating vibration etc. etc.
While both EFT and Rafaello are exceeding 70% of airframe being made from composite materials.
Am I here saying Rafale should be topping 15G? I’m talking about Typhoon and its safety limits.
So you saying we should switch to rafale thread to ask you that question?
Exactly there is a exposure limit per G per second.
@Gunjob is the EFT aerodynamically limited to 27° AoA, or is that something Gaijin simply conjured up to nerf it? Cus according to the Austrian Airforce website, the FCS will let the aircraft pull between 30 - 35° AoA.
Whereas currently, in-game, I have not been able to achieve anywhere near that value, the highest AoA I’ve pulled was 26.6° according to WTIRT.
Rafale has the exact same g-limits, yet Eurofighter pulls 6Gs less. This is just straight up bias.
All AOA in game is soft limited, as you approach and then exceed the limit the instructor backs off the controls so you start to lose authority. But its not hard limited.

Instructor prevents exceeding the 12G limit imposed?
Instructor cannot limit via G, it was attempted when F-16 came to the game and then dropped.

Gunjob coming out with the HEAT! 🔥🔥🔥
G onset is basicly how fast it can pull those G’s I’m pretty sure. So 15G/s would mean it can pull up to its structural limit of 12G’s in 0.8s.

That is just not true? I’m genuinely so confused how you came to this conclusion
Yeah, he’s spouting nonsense with that. Eurobomber does not break at 12.5gs lol, unless he’s loaded with air to ground with lots of fuel
I think that sometimes people forget that planes are not designed to pull infinite G. After all, they carry a very essential, but very fragile sack of meat called the pilot. And said pilot does not take anything other than 1G vey well.
I wonder if they will experiment with a rework for this, I think an instructor/FCLS system rework would be cool to see,
Smh imagine not lab-growing an Ace Combat protagonist to fly your jets.

It feels better without it off tbh, its so wonky, and you can still beat everything without it anyway
And to what level does Rafale rise while rolling?
I ripped at 20+ Gs once.
In game Rafale reaches 15G in a flat turn at speeds beyond Mach 1.
No aircraft in real life maneuvers that hard certainly not for more than seconds or half seconds in emergencies.
Irl Eurofighter is designed for maneuvering at 9G around Mach 1 and is supposed to beat everything in this regime.
Rafale has advantages low and slow. Perhaps instantaneous turn rate generally.
PixelEurofighter is a joke right now.
G loads in general are a bit of a mess.
Going beyond safety limits is fine but not all aircraft profit equally by the way it’s handled.
Authenticity in regard to respective performances should be the most important factor.
