Compressing their game through horrible BR changes is higher on the list unfortunately
Gaijin, you need help?
lemme help you…
for the Pylon bug on the German EF, (UK and ITA are allready fixed)
In Fixed:
In Broken (as currently)
So, just add this code between 2911 and 2912, just as you did an motnth ago on the UK/ITA one…
“ShowNodes”: {
“node”: [
“pylon_2”,
“pylon_1”
]
This way you could mark this report as solved

@Gunjob would it be possible to send this to an Dev? xD

Starting to seriously think the Typhoon is in its final form in-game and will never receive any changes at this point lmao

In Gaijins eyes it performs well and it does…Fixing the Radar will make it over perform in their eyes.
Give it the 2nd best Radar in game and it will surpass the F-15E
So… Currently the MAW is utter garbage… Detecting approaching missiles (burnt out) extremly late, like the missile already got defeated by multipathing and exploded beside my plane, the MAW decided to fire chaff/flares only the moment it detonated. Most of the time the missile is already closer than 1-2 km before it gets detected if it gets detected at all that is.
Even if it’s currently acting as an IR-MAW instead of a PD-MAW it’s extremly bad for one.
Additionally: Shouldn’t the MAW take the RWR data into account which also gives a hint about the distance of the approaching ARH missile, in a 360° sphere at that? Of course IR missiles wouldn’t be detected by the RWR.
EFT truly suffers.

Why? It’s meta, its equivalents are all here.
I haven’t seen Rafales destroying any match.
I’ve seen Su-34s, and F-15s, Typhoons as well… not Rafales though.
A cross-analysis shows Rafale’s an equivalent aircraft despite my experience that they’re not doing much in matches.
You may have seen cracked players, I may have seen average players.
As for CAS, Rafale’s theoretically better due to IR missiles… I just don’t account for CAS anymore as I don’t bring CAS into matches anymore. If you value CAS I see your perspective of course.
and it also seems to pick up other people’s flares
At this exact moment in time. The Rafale is better. Especially in gamemodes where you cant just rely on HMD to lock the radar.
In FM the Typhoon holds some advantage though the buffs coming to the Rafale soon will likely make them almost entirely equal.
The Typhoon can carry more AAMs, but the MICA and Magic II are overall a lot better when played to their strengths. In gamemodes like GRB, which are naturally far more small battle spaces, the advantage of AMRAAM is mitigated giving the MICA a notable advantage.
The biggest capability differene is the radar. CAPTOR-M is easily one of the worst radars in game at the moment and trying to find targets on TWS is an absolute chore. AESA on the Rafale is more than likely the best radar in game at the moment.
Thodin I believe quite often plays GRB, so take his view with GRB in mind.
The Rafale has a superior radar allowing you to find targets much easier. It has the superior short-medium range missile and the better SRAAM for close in dogfights, it has 6x FnF AGMs with IOG making them the second best AGM in the game and all in a package that matches the Typhoon in FM close enough. You can understand the frustration with the Typhoon at the moment in that fight. I dont agree with his stance and they should have come together. But the Typhoon is woefully underperforming within the GRB arena at the moment with a weak radar, ahistorical AGM, no FnF AGMs, etc etc.

HMD was an excuse until I found out “lock target” works with TWS, now I even use TWS on Viggen C which is hard lock only, cause it’s faster than using SRC PD.
Lock target → radar lock target.
Vs
Select target, select target, attempt to lock the target you selected.
In sim of course you’re stuck on select target, but that air RB tactic is extremely valuable. Haven’t tried it in ground RB likely won’t cause HMD is more valuable there than searching.
Im not talking about soft locks vs hard locks. I know you can hard lock via TWS.
Im talking about physically finding targets using TWS. It quite often takes 2 passes, sometimes more of the radar for a target to show up on it. If you are scanning the air space looking for someone flying low, it takes an age for it to locate the target. In a 1v1 like that with something like a Rafale or Su-34. Its more than likely they’ll have gotten missiles off before your radar has even found the target.
In gamemodes like ARB, you can just use HMD to hard lock the target and use the player markers instead of TWS.
My normal tactic in ASB, is to hold way back and give my radar time to search, almost exclusively engaging in BVR combat. In GSB, 9/10s the Mk2 eyeball was more effective at finding targets than the radar was. Even aircraft I could see with my own eyes wouldnt always show up on the TWS half the time.
We’ll have to wait and see what or even if they do anything for the CAPTOR-M but its woeful to use in gamemodes without markers.

I haven’t had this issue in my Typhoon so far.
General notching causes issues for all radars, but I don’t think you’re talking about that or maybe you are.
In sim I either bomber hunt or am the bomber so I use the most narrow search window on the radar and start going tow here I determined plausible lines of bombing are.
its hard to explain, but Ive had an issue more than a few times where pointing the radar in TWS directly at a target wont see the target at all, but ACM or HMD will instantly lock it, which isnt all that helpful if im after IFF information

Ive had that happen a few times on other aircraft but not always, just assumed it was gaijins spaghetti code
Yeah, the radar is barely usable unless you use the small scope and even then, it’s pretty annoying, and A2G is extremely tedious with the brimstones since you essentially have to keep a laser lock
Its always the Spaghetti code

Idk if anyone else has had this but i’ve repeatedly had an issue where Fakour 90 isn’t detected at all by my RWR, and it works normally for everything else. It’s really annoying cause i can’t see fakour at all, and because of that most of my deaths in the eft have been either overspeed/overG wing rips or invisible fakour
Eh, tbf the Viggens radar was bug for years where it would lock chaff that was deployed behind an aircraft coming straight at you. I find most of the nonsensical shenanigans are from gaijin rushing to get things out.
The last time I was in the Typhoon in SB. I was hit a few times by radar guided weapons and nothing, not a single beep.
once was an Aim-120 fired from a Typhoon and hte other was an R-27ER. I was thinking about posting, but decided my sample size was too small and I was tired so I might have missed it.
But I think we need to keep an eye out on the RWR now you’ve said that. I think the RWR may be… rather unwell
