Eurofighter Typhoon - Germany's Best Fighter Jet

At this point I don’t even care about the fast radar, I just want the plane to work, the radar “fix” that happened changed absolutely nothing, TWS still doesn’t work, IRST is mid as hell, and the airframe bleeds speed terribly quickly

Ill see what I can find

no point, they all get labelled as “not a bug”

But hey most advanced mechanical radar and irst sytem in the world on 4,5 gen plane.
Proceeds to add slop worse than 70s radar sets and irsts.

This is very much incorrect. The vast majority of Typhoon reports have been accepted with many already fixed.

so why doesnt TWS work

The issue reported and forwarded with TWS was resolved yesterday. If there are other issues that are not already reported, then it is best to do so.

I have noticed many German players coming back to air rb, maybe are a bit rusty or dont know the meta as such. It will come back it just takes games and time.

I don’t think the problem is player skill.
People over in the UK eurofighter typhoon thread have the same complaints

Hello.
The issue occured only on Captor-M with PIRATE, this is the reason why German EF-2000 has not been mentioned, if the vehicle have issues with TWS please make a report so we can forward it.

No more doing things you shouldnt do against these jets, like playing them in the Fox 1 meta will just get you killed. I have seen it, not using the HMD or appreciating how deadly 120s are.

Not as much as the bugs with the jet

Germany havent had a meta jet in years.

This smacks of the whole Igla thing all over again. ‘The round pointy thing on the front of a Typhoon looks like the round pointy thing on the end of a Tornado - so it must be performatively identical!’

Worth noting that Typhoon CAPTOR was expressly designed for one-man operation - e.g. better automation and processing. You no longer needed a back-seater to ‘work’ the radar in the way that was needed in the Tornado F3 for example. That alone speaks to more computing power available to the system in the next generation.

Are the devs really working on the assumption that in the 20 years between Blue Vixen and CAPTOR - NO performance improvements were made?

We might as well get F-35 added now then. Gaijin will just assume that it has the radar from a Tornado and call it a day. Stealth? It looks like a Phantom so it probably has a similar radar signature. No problem!

(Some hyperbole here…)

@Smin1080p_WT The real problem here is that ‘benefits of the doubt’ and ‘assumptions’ are not being applied equally. We’ve got the YAK-141 -which has plenty of ‘benefits of the doubt and assumptions’ applied to enable it to be added. Fine.

Yet when it comes to a other issues (CAPTOR) none of the same flexibility appears to be extended. The assumption seems to be that it cannot possibly be better than the devs think it is. ‘Is Marketing Lie.’

We have it with the CR2 armour…British tank armour hasnt improved since the 1980s.
A real common sense approach is needed and if Gaijin are holding it back for balance. Then just say that!
We know Russia and the US will receieve an AESA/PESA Radar in the next few updates

Typhoon will be outclassed by these systems and for no good reason. Of course we cant find scan pattern and speeds on in service aircraft without breaking Gaijins document controls

Just like the Leopard…
From the Leopard 2 TVM till Leopard 2A7V nothing was improved (in the armor area)

Just like the armor of the German Leopard 2

You cant even get scan speeds from manual due to how that radar system works… Its essentially pesa in mechanical body with its functions and processing.
It should be closer to Su-34 and Rafale radars than any other m-scan ingame.

Oh yeah Germany, Britain and Italy spend a shit ton of money to develop a new radar that isn’t any better than the blue vixen.
So riddle me this:
Why didn’t they use the blue vixen then?

Ask gaijin, apparently they know.

Do you want to tell the RAF or shall I?
