With it likely being one of the “last” (one right at the bottom of the tree) jets added to the game for those nations. I cant see any harm it giving it loads
Is there photos showing the maximum deflection of the movable canards for Eurofighters or even sources stating how far itll go?
60 degrees down; 20 degrees up
Which end up being up/down?

at supersonic speeds the foreplanes are only used for trimming.
they go further down than up because at subsonic speeds the aircraft is so unstable that a lot of “down force” is required to keep the aircraft from flipping.
they’re also used for providing extra drag while landing(so called “Lift Dump”). This can be turned on or off by the pilot with a switch on the rear part of the left hand console. the standard position is “LIFT” aka no extra drag
they also never really go up while pitching up.
Yes, an easier way to put it…
They are level when the aircraft requires lift from them, they angle down when the stability margin reaches neutral and negative where downward force is required to keep nose from flipping up / causing pitch departure. They never really angle up unless drag is needed, because for pitching the canards can provide lift similar to the elevons on the F-16.

Dont know if u guys did see this already
its from a presentation for norway and put up on the web by an norwegian MOD
This is quite an interesting close up look
Not a huge amount of detail, but nonetheless a good video
can you add the “Eurofighter” tag to this post so it can be found together with my GAF one?
I’m gonna put this out there - the RAF museum has a document published with the timeline for testing on it. Might be able to glean useful secondary sources from it
Well I mean given the news
I think it’s safe to say if we don’t have an upgrade to Phantoms, Tornado, or a new aircraft such as the DA.2, the future of the British Tree is in a whole lot of doubt.
no point in adding this if it doesnt have weapons, radar, etc
unless gaijin does a Yak-141 i guess lol

that being said the block 50 seems to be close to the typhoon, so we might get a typhoon sooner then we might think, with reduced capabilites
I mean they have magically given it Sparrows despite the fact Block 50 can’t support them that I know of… soooooo
will be sad , that we cant fly around with iris t or meteors yet, but i will take what i can even if that means amrams (sparrows until amrams release )and aim 9ls
“reduced capabilities”… well ig yeah it would be nice to have a Eufi but like they’d really have to pull stuff out their ass for this to happen…

where do you draw the line?
does it get DASS?
PIRATE?
A2G?
Missiles?
Radar?
Countermeasures?
Engines?

best guess prototypes DA1 - DA5, those 5 spread around the nations
Maybe Gaijin will make DASS obsolete and never give IRIS-T & ASRAAM and Meteor.
