This is what I like to call “Gaijin balancing”
If you complain enough about it, they’ll eventually make a compromise.
Like what happened with F-15E engines.

You’re kidding right? Germany hasn’t been good in top tier air for a long time now. Not going to start now.
Wasn’t that the standard 29 Squadron livery?
I was unaware of this. Could you show me where they are in the code?
Oil mass is in the FM file for each aircraft:
Aircrew mass is defined as constant value (90 kg IIRC) and is added to each aircraft using the formula:
Aircrew mass * number of crew
The mass of each bullet is defined in the weapon file. Then it is added to the aircraft using the formula:
Bullet mass * current number of bullets
The mass of an aircraft actually decreases in game as you fire your ammo.

“hasFuelDumping” ?
That is an interesting line of code

In that case the mass of oils is likely incorrect. 30kg of hydraulic fluid and oil is not sufficient for a fighter aircraft like the Typhoon. Regardless, the empty mass is too high then.

It probably is a bit low. But it seems to be about 30 kg on most jets in game.
If that is the case I would not put it past them to simplify new additions by adding the corrected weights to the “empty weight”. Then they just adjust damaged engines with burning oil or overheating based on how long it takes to burn 30kg of oil.
IT’S TIME TO TURN THE F-111 INTO A BACKWARDS DRAGON

In RB the ability to DL 8 AIM120s is what makes the F-15E so good.
Typhoon will be as fast, climbs as well maybe the Radar will be as good? But you are still going to have to dodge and evade the AMRAAM wall if you want to play BVR with the F-15 and other Typhoons.
WVR is where the Typhoon should shine if you pilot isn’t constantly G-Locked …
Typhoon and F-15E climb equally well (Typhoon might even slightly outclimb the F-15E) and can at a minimum sling off 6x AMRAAM and DL them all. With a radar that is at worst, equal to it.
F-15E is gunna have to be just as careful in the early game AMRAAM Spam
Only if the aggrieved nation has met the necessary Gaijin social credit points, buying premiums. Only then are your complaints acknowledged
They will likely end up with more trades. It will be nice to have an AMRAAM slinger that isn’t a bus.
And not have to use the R Darter…
I do, okay in the FA2 and F3 Late, but man, the Typhoon is on a whole other level. Also really looking forward to the multirole payload you can run in gamemodes like Sim. 7x Paveway IVs wont have much of an impact on your FM and worse comes to worse, I just jettison them.

I would still wait for the final tuning of the Typhoon before drawing conclusions. As far as I remember, the first iteration of the dev FM of the Typhoon was just a dummy, whose thrust dropped significantly between the beginning of the dev and its end.
Yeah, but still. We have docs that state 36k ft and mach 1.6 in 2.5 minutes with full combat load.
I have no idea if there is an equivalent figure available for the F-15E, but that is still pretty insane.

By the time I unlock it will have eaten a few changes to the fm…Just like the Gripen did.
Now all Britain needs a good light tank/IFV so we can spawn the thing
most likely yes
try to find it in F-15E flight manual
Believe so, but it’d perhaps be nice to go semi fictitious and have a “Bugatti Beater” nose art or something like that haha
Could frame it as 29Sqn Skin and “just happen” to have it be the same one as seen.
Might I suggest that if it’s such an egregious difference to you, that you might endeavour to find the true values and then perhaps report it when you have sufficient evidence?
