Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 1)

After playing an SB match, I agree on those who say the radar is worse than before…
Like, its just blind as an goldfish
Case 1:
I am 10km behind an F-15E at ~5km altitude, I tried every radar mode, none of them even saw the F-15E, not even Radar HMD got him…

Case 2:
An Kfir C.10 which was coming towards me, I saw him trough the T-Pod and again, according to my Radar there was no plane…

Case 3:
My Radar told me that the Friendly Su-27 was an Enemy… sadly I noticed that a few seconds to late with an 40k SL bill…

It’s based solely on my feelings. But it feels like radar now takes significantly more time to create a ping.

Hey, so you’re saying that typhoon wasn’t significantly nerfed this update? Just clarifying.

Yes, I literally re-tested because of bogus claims here.

Typhoon has the best flight performance in War Thunder 2nd to none.

And as for the drag? Or are we just ignoring that now? You can do the calculations yourself: I’ve given the equation and my numbers were recorded through WTRTI, which you yourself have said you used.

The drag at high AOA doesn’t matter because guess what? Everything has high drag in high AOA.
What matters most in air RB is sustained turn rate, not high AOA.

Oh look, 60500kgf of drag:

And enlighten me what is the AoA here? Your limiter’s off and the AoA isn’t displayed which leads me to believe you’ve just stalled the wing. My numbers were recorded at 27 degrees which is well within controlled flight.

Can you compare turn rate above mach 1, Typhoons vs Rafale plss

I mean, my point was that high AOA doesn’t matter cause it effectively doesn’t in air RB, otherwise the F-15E would be 13.3 in BR for having the worst AOA above 13.0 when in reality it’s strong because air RB prioritizes metrics that aren’t tied to high AOA or even general dogfight performance.

@Sean74218
No, because the pilot cannot withstand the sustained Gs, and mach 1 sustained isn’t a noteworthy metric for dogfights, air RB, air sim, or general flight performance.

I don’t care about that, I’m saying the numbers are wrong. Matters or not that is far too much drag for a wing with no or minimal flow separation. As I said earlier there is a reason the eurofighter suddenly starts to fall out of the sky 2-3 turns in now.

I’m trying it rn. Could someone prove me something. Loadout - Full Brimms, 4xAIM-120, 2xAIM-9M. 20 mins of fuel. AOA limiter ON. Speed ~600km/h. When trying to pull a sharp turn - it’s janky as hell. You can see that plane is trying to pull more, but control surfaces are wobbling - which makes plane wobble as well. Plane locks up starting at around 1000km/h - for no reason. Instructor feels like a freshman straight out of internship. They either meddled with stalls too much or with instructor himself.
I tried the AoA button on F-18, it’s incomparably smoother. Doesn’t feel right on EF at all.

I mean, wobbling is the nature of the instructor not the aircraft, and has impacted Typhoon since release last year.
It also impacts Su-27s and F-18s.
The AOA button still leaves the instructor on for an amount of things, and I suspect it’s still on for rudder.
Which for aircraft with minor to major rudder issues, makes the problem worse when AOA limiter is off.

What fuel/armament presets are you using for that chart?

90% for Rafale and 100% for Typhoon.
If you run FIF [Full Internal Fuel], that gives Typhoon “unfair advantage” in turn rate as their fuel consumption are similar for the time-in-tanks loaded.

I’m going to try and get clips of the Blue Vixen in the FA2 working well and then get clips of the Captor-M being as blind as a bat at some point. But would be good if you and anyone else could directly share clips. Would help with perhaps reporting it

You can have my clips of the cases I wrote xD

Yeah, those would be great

Yeah after Mach 1, Eurofighter turns so bad, almost like if those canards start freezing up,

And also the Rudder feels like its stuck at +/- 0

Will later upload then to YT
