Some small changes in EFT Empty Weight:
Spoiler
Only it should weigh 11 tons, not 11.220 or 11.300
Is it still possible for Gaijin to fix the Catcher M, the Catcher M is now worse than any radar above 13.0 (except for N001
Seriously? Why are they resisting so much against giving the EF its original weight of 11.000 kg and are instead doing baby steps into that direction without ever getting there?
Additionally the german EF should be 55 kg lighter (10.945 kg) as its missing PIRATE.

Gaijin tries to model a german vehicle accurately challenge (DIFFICULTY: IMPOSSIBLE)
That’s assuming PIRATE wasn’t replaced with ballast. The UK looked at removing parts of the DASS system during training and was told that all the units would need replacing with ballast.

push too much that free ticket to get Ban (I been that point before just because i question their action)
Isn’t that only the case for DASS components in the wing(tips) because of disbalance around the roll axis? For example the towed decoys “Ariel Mk II” in the wingtip container which are also part of the DASS and only in the right wing container. As PIRATE is in the body at the front, the flight control software should be able to compensate the only slightly shifted point of gravity easily and I somehow doubt that every german EF flies with ballast just because they don’t have the PIRATE installed.
At least some of the units they were looking to remove are fuselage mounted:
Ultimately they decided removing units wasn’t worth the hassle.
I just flew the EF the first time in a test flight (as I haven’t researched it yet) and holy cow that TWS is atrocious beyond belief. It feels/seems like if a target is tracked in TWS the movement is detected wrong (wrong direction and wrong speed extrapolation) so every missile is guided into the wrong direction until either the track gets updated (which takes much longer than on the F15/16) or the missile tracks the target with its own seeker.
This is what Spain has
They have the panels which can fit LWRs but chose to install dummy sensors instead
Thats why they appear fully grey instead of transparent/gold

Hey guys, does anyone know if the EFT Hud should be green at all times like you see in most pictures of it? because right now it’s not green even during flight.

Probably only when the plane is running, but the eurofighter doesnt show a green hud when the plane is running.
also the canards should be deflected downwards in the hangar.

Yeah, exactly, I hope it will be fixed.
green this n that
why is it so squished in the cockpit?

There was an “internal report” that they found absolute evidence it was not smokeless.
Realistically, they could’ve kept it under the rug, and kept the domestic armament on the plane.
(Not a single bug reported found the evidence they found which is somewhat surprising)
Under the guise of “well the 3 typhoons have key elements.”
German EF - No IRST, No LWS, Non-Domestic armament.
British EF - IRST, LWS, historically accurate armament.
Italian EF - IRST, No LWS, accurate armament.
If the update was to bring relevancy to hurting trees, why would G introduce the “technically” worst version of this plane, to the tree that has been lacking the most?
It doesn’t make much sense, considering the “if the weapons are compatible, they can be added,” why would we NOT get IRST on the German one…?
Seeing non-historically-accurate changes be made to the other new planes this update (Rafale, Double R77 pylons) is really concerning.
We KNOW Germany reserved the right to IRST, and had implemented it on several aircraft.
Maybe they’re holding out for the double AMRAAM pylon SOLELY for the German EF? THAT would give it a “key element” to seperate it from the other EFs in the game.

the “non domestic” armament stuff is a wild hill to die on.
none of them are accurate because they all have GBU-54s and that integration is NOT done yet.
I did some test flights last night myself and posted the videos over the UK typhoon thread but you can see the same behaviour on the Sea Harrier’s Blue Vixen and the Tornado’s Foxhunter. The Gripen too though I haven’t taken video of it and the Su-33/Mirage 2000 in test flight (I don’t have the US tree at top tier to test those planes).
Honestly I kinda suspect that something is broken on all TWS radars, it’s just most apparent on the radars with a slower scan rate.

Switch Sight Mode in Cockpit is what you’re looking for.
