Dunno. Flight performance? Air to Air loadout? What is the significance?
You spawn a KH carrier plane. Its almost in strike range upon spawn. On some maps you can even shot right away. You switch on your pod. Lock’n’shot the ordnance on ground targets, turn around ‘forget’ about them, Do whatever you want. Usually you just land for another run. I’ve seen 4x multikills from players who do it like this.
You don’t need speed, you don’t need maneuverability. No air to air stuff. Newsflash…its all about the air to ground missile.
EF can’t do it. You have to fiddle around with laser pointers within SAM range, while also exposed to enemy fighter spawns.
Thats why a top tier jet without F&F is - in fact - not top tier in GRB.
Pilot accounts arent proof and they are never accepted.
I wish they were,if some of the pilot accounts for Tornado were accepted we would have a monster.
The 2nd screenshot I posted it and it’s from a reputable journalist who interviewed one of the test pilots. Eurofighter being limited in AoA is something that is fairly well known.
Do you have any solid proof that shows EFT should be really good at high angle attacks with those canards?
Rafale and Gripen uses close coupled canards for high angle attacks while EFT uses opposite one but according to you EFT should be able to perform at same degree that Rafale and Gripen can.
Last I checked, the F-18 can achieve AoA of 70 degrees, neither Rafale, nor Gripen, nor EFT can, so the screenshots posted here don’t prove that EFT itself cannot achieve “high AoA”, just that F-18s AoA will in the end be higher. The rest is confirmation bias.
The only time(s) it achieves “obscene AoA” is when you put it in a total vertical when its clean, so its TWR handles it more than you are (and WTIRT tells you it pulls 50 AoA cus of that), in a horizontal turn the most I’ve achieved has been 35 so do leave your bias behind.
Thats true but it also doesnt prove that EFT should be able to reach higher AOA compare to Gripen and Rafale.
So im still waiting for an answer my question, how come EFT can achieve higher aoa than Rafale and Gripen in this game even tho it doesnt have same design philosophy?
Does anybody here know the “AoA limits” of any of them? I’ve been in contact with people who are handling EFTs bug reports (i.e Fireball & Flame) and neither of them knows the limits, and I doubt you or MiG-23M know either (especially for the EFT and Gripen, the latter of which is a complete guesswork as far as I am aware), so arguments based on “It can’t cus I say so” are non-arguments. The only point of comparison here is the F/A-18, which if modelled properly will always have higher AoA than the EFT, the dev server or the live server one, doesn’t matter.
