i didn’t say it has a button, you claimed that it does not have one so i’ve been asking a source for your claim
now you mentioned a sensitive sounding source however you refuse to answer a yes/no question about whether it is legal or not
Lmao. So you can’t prove it does have it. But you don’t want to read the manual, which makes NO reference to a manual toggle for unrestricting AOA.
lmfao
Added due to user requests.

ill read it after you tell me whether it is legal or not
if it is illegal then sharing any information about the contents inside could possibly be a crime in specific legislations
From what i remember gunjob said that there was no documents (at least that he could find) about such a feature but i might remember bad.

Yep I think he did

if there is no such feature, then there shall be a bug report
however it has to be done with legal sources
In all fairness, you can’t prove that such a button doesnt exist (unless you had access to all classified information about it, such as manual)
For the existence of the AOA (or not), the burden of proof should rest on the fact that there is, in fact, a button that can unrestrict AOA.
I believe the EFT has some sort of control button, however it does not give unrestricted access to the full AOA capabilities of the aircraft, only a greater AOA limit.
Also, from studies about the earlier EFT (late 90s, early 20000s), a few studies have been made about the real and calculated high AOA performances of the airframe, but none showed data points above the 25° AOA mark for the IRL data, suggesting the airframe wasn’t conclusively tested above* those values, or so I heard.
Anyway, from these informations, I believe the AOA button is controversial at best.

what is it?
ive been looking at a source that isn’t classified that can prove that it does not exist on operational eurofighters
however this still doesn’t remove the fact that this button was added on multiple airframes due to major user requests and not because eurofighter had to be nerfed
eurofighter had to be nerfed due to its overperformance
im a trash player and even i had a nice kd ratio and 66% winrate
Reason I added « or so I heard » is because I don’t have any idea of where I have read that. I believe it should have been from somewhere from gunjob or flamme, but I might also be imagining it.

Is it the DA.7? If so, DONT SHARE IT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET BANNED
Because the DA.7 is still secret (even tho it was leaked and is aviable online)

You cant use it at slow speed as the rudder wants to flip the aircraft and make you crash.
It’s all very disappointing
you can use it at low speed but in a limited fashion imo
i prefer to use it for short instantenous turns if needed, then disable so it doesnt cause non sense
Looks like the AOA can be changed via Software updates
FCS-Softwareversionen:
- Phase 1: bis Ende 1995
- Phase 2: ab Ende 1995
- Phase 2A: Januar 1998, erstmals bei DA2, “Carefree Handling” im Unterschallbereich bis 25° AoA und +6 g
- Phase 2B1: April 1999, schwere Aussenlasten, 28° AoA und +7.25 g
- Phase 2B2: Juli 2000, 30-35° AoA und +9 g
- Phase 3: 2001, 9 g Flugleistungsbereich, erster Serienstandard
- Phase 4: Luft/Boden-Bewaffnung
- Phase 5: Volle Kampffähigkeiten
didnt find for now a better source

It doesn’t exist as Typhoon doesn’t use that kind of system.
AOA control is only for low slow speed recovery it is not for pulling “cobras”
Typhoon like Rafale flight control system is designed to operate and give the pilot what they need.
I don’t believe the flight control system can be overridden and I haven’t seen any documents/pilot sources to confirm otherwise

I prefer to have an accurate fm and not a gimick that Russian jets and legacy gen 4 airframes need.

Also another intresting wiki entry thats very Informative, sadly most sources it cites are dead
No but it is at ITR and STR and in game it is underperforming in both regimes
fixed after we get f22
