The Rafale should be superior compared to the Eurofighter notably in low-speed high AOA flight, and mainly instantaneous turn rate. At lower altitudes ingame, the Eurofighter is just outright superior compared to the Rafale across the board in terms of flight performance.
It’s not really a technological difference or anything, it’s the aerodynamic design. The long-arm canards that the Eurofighter uses are good at controlling the flow of air over the main wing, which can lead to less energy being lost. But the coupling of air is not as aggressive because of the distance to the delta wing. In comparison, Rafale’s close-coupled canards couple air aggressively, and that naturally leads to more lift generation.
I think that it’s either the EFT or the Rafale that needs a change to better reflect this ingame, probably more so the Rafale. I can’t offer my two cents whether EFT can maintain reasonable stability at 50 degrees of AOA without departing completely, since I have not studied this airframe as much as the other delta-canards.
Is the average power of the APG-77 known? I’ve seen 20 kW peak power often quoted, but that isn’t too useful for comparison when you consider the MiG-25’s radar was supposedly 600 kW peak power.
I thought it was pretty self explanatory but I guess not.
Su-34 would be pretty neutered if US teams weren’t consisted of Click-Bait/AIM spammers that don’t even have Ground TT top tier, let alone Air one lol.
France is a minor nation and as such will have way less players than major ones, and it also doesn’t help that they have not so great top tier MBTs.
Su-34 is still relevant not because the vehicle itself is broken, it’s that most other options/counters aren’t nearly played as much, which is a player’s problem, not vehicles’.
Also, it’s a good thing that you finally made peace with the fact that vehicles can have something their contemporaries lack for balance purposes. You’re making progress towards understanding how balance works.
I never said EFT is the only one that doesn’t need FnF.
i mean if they have some massive energy storage on the jet sure but i doubt the plane can supply that even if its a peak.
for reference, the generators on an EPP are 150kW…
There is a RAF museum that states that with “carefree handling” the Eurofighter can achieve up to 25 degree of AoA. Now this source by itself certainly isn’t sufficient enough to be used in a bug report but it shows that Eurofighter is vastly overperforming in instantaneous turn.
I think 20kW might be the average power tbh, it’s all quite classified and it makes sense they’d only release the average since you can’t do much but estimate it’s capabilities with that number.
It was made to be the most outright powerful and a2a capable radar in the world for years after its introduction, it’s bigger than the F-35’s, with more T/R modules so very likely more range
