This is why I hate how the devs do things
Typhoon/Rafale should be the best in game and instead they crap on Typhoon, buff the Rafale and as you said Typhoon will find miraculous buffs/reports actioned when the Su-35 and F-15EX are added.
Sick of it

Phase 2B2 corroborates what I’ve already heard and seen from the people in the know-how tbh, so the old FM was unironically more accurate it seems.
Also for those interested, the source used by Iluminas is the official Austrian Airforce website for the Eurofighter, as such, it’s quite primary.

Did you check the links with an archive?

Gaijin will chose what to accept, and when to action. There is sadly no open transparent policy.
It really is “dealers choice”
some already link to the way back machine but even those are dead
The button doesn’t even do anything anyway, not anything meaningful at any rate.
EF was made for transonic speeds, the plane was not made for slow speeds and high AoA. In reality, having high alpha and maneuverability at slow speeds is not that important. That explains the AoA limit on the EF. Although even here there has been a drift towards 30 AoA due to the aerodynamic kit which of yet nobody wants.
Eurofighter is more of a average 13.7 right now.

I’m waiting for Defyns next cope video about how the Typhoon with it’s gimped fm and trash Radar
Is still the best jet in the game…

Maybe in a guns only fight it is if you airbreak it perfectly but that is not how an aircraft should be measured over all.
Eurofighter feels like I would expect an heavily upgraded F-4F ICE would feel.
One with changed aerodynamics, new engines and adjustet FCS.
It is called Eurofighter, it looks like an Eurofighter but it is no Eurofighter.
Difference is that for the rafale 2 things corroborate the existence of such a system
- the plane had a full override system used to get out of flat spin (would be nice if it worked in game lol)
- the plane has performed 100º AOA maneuvers, at -40kt, without loss of control.
Those 2 show that the plane has its ways to override the usual AOA limiter completely
i can’t count the times the instructor killed me because it has overriden my inputs to get out of a flatspin in this game XD
And the big problem with both the rafale and EFT is that the flat spin gets worse as time goes. The rafale hits insane rotational speed, and it’s impossible to get out of it with split throttle and good inputs. I tried for a very long time

I am not clued up on Rafale it was more the point that neither a Rafale or a Typhoon need an AOA override to turn inside an F-16 or a Flanker…
But here we are

Its like you want proof bacteria doesn’t exist.
But the EF can’t have the ability to turn of its fbw because it is an unstable airframe and it would just get out of control if you deactivate the fbw.
Causing damages in the millions.
I think you misunderstand something. The button is to override the limits (G-Force, AoA, etc.) of the FBW and not deactivating the FBW completly. These limits are there to keep the flight envelope inside the given parameters even if the airframe could withstand more (at the cost of airframe lifetime). So with this button you trade airframe lifetime for increased manouverability.
Deactivation of the FBW is impossible in modern aircraft, except the avionics fails with all its redundancies but then you would be lost either way.
All I have seen until know it that the “button” recovers you from any departure from flight irl and doesn’t override any g-limits
(most planes are limited to 9g I don’t think it is reasonable to assume that it overrides the g limit to anything higher than that)
On top of that from what I have heard in pilot interviews the EF recovers automatically and does not need any pilot input

Mentioned so by numerous pilots from various nations.
Further more I have seen the RAF Typhoon display twice and I have never seen a Typhoon perform a “Cobra”
AOA override in Typhoon is myth and a crutch Gaijin have used to nerf the ITR and STR of Typhoon

Ontop of that it doesn’t make any sense for the recovery button to override g limits because you won’t pull alot of Gs at low speeds anyways

Typhoon doesn’t have the ability to turn off the AoA limit, look at it like an F-16.
