Gripen radar is pretty mid too, dont even use TWS with the R-Darter as it always loses track and just misses.
That thing is a C-D-Nozzle, just it being square to help mixing jet exhaust and surrounding airflow to minimize the IR-signature. Especially as the aerdynamics should be worse for a square exhaust as it induces wake vortices at its corners which is the reason it helps mixing the different airflows.
The Bypass ratio of 0,4:1 of the EJ200 is for one just minimal different from the F119 with 0,3 and second it was chosen as a compromise to accomodate bigger engine cores for future developments. The difference in supercruise capability shouldn’t be more than a few percent in this case as the Fan of the EJ200 compresses even better than the F119 Fan.
jesus Fk… they really cant do anything right can they
Any news on when they are fixing the scan pattern (double scanning of upper and lower row)? This is bugged since forever…
The F119 has lower T3 and higher SOT aiding dry thrust. The excess dry thrust pushes a draggier airframe to 1.7+ mach supercruise. This is aided heavily by the lower bypass ratio. If it was only a few percent better it would not have such raw performance benefit.
I was under the impression the convergent-divergent nozzle of the Eurofighter is not fully variable and that was one of the upgrades that set apart the TVC nozzle upgrade theorized for it.
But hey… they told ut that radar is WIP… SURPRISE, its same S**t as it was on dev.

It’s frustrating they couldnt get the Radar right, im prepared to give them some time to rectify it.
How does it fly or play are we all still just dead to the F-15E Spamraam?
Is the maws working?
It turns well, but the acceleration is about half of what it was on the dev
Why even have the dev server, its like they treat it as an opinion poll.
Russian and US mains whining about Typhoon. We had better nerf it…
Least if it tanks we might get the double amraam pylons…

Acceleration when the dev server closed was pretty much correct.
So its right on the live sever then?
I’ll test it at some point. But it feels about the same as it did on dev.

The TWS bug is annoying. But what else is majorly wrong with the radar? The scan speed isn’t great but as I’ve been saying for months there’s no information on that so we’d be hard pressed to fix it.

I was a bit hasty with half of that, yes.
Do I understand correctly that the RWR is now fully spherical?
Its a copy and paste from the Gripen, it should be a unique modelled Radar with its excentricities otherwise whats the point?
May aswell give every new jet the same Radar
Yes
600 Pure rofl
Reported it, should be 1250w.

BTW, that TWS bug is still here (don’t know if it is coming in todays micropatches, but thought I would let you know):
Oh, and do you have the British/Italian EFT yet (or maybe test drive). I am not close to any of them, can you test this IRST bug, please?
