This is a question for @Fluffy_Bucketles and @Morvran; do you guys think that the current flight model is mostly accurate on the dev server? Do you think the acceleration on afterburner is correct?
It is not correct because it doesn’t match the documentation I was provided by @Flame2512
Additionally, there is the lack of supercruise likely owing to the drag being too high… a consequence of the overperforming thrust.
Not spaded it yet, so not going to overly comment before that. What we do know.
It can climb to 36k ft from brakes off in 2.5 minutes on reheat. It is very fast.
But in game, It wing rips at too low low of an airspeed, which really hurts its ability at low alt and the dry heat is underperforming significantly. Also lacking in top speed.
Also PIRATE, Radar, RWR are all underperforming and even the fact it has a sooty exhaust is wrong.
And most of that is just what Flame has reported so far. let alone everyone else. I know a few have a lot of things they plan to report for it
Typhoon has a lot of Buffs left to come for it.

Anybody have info on detection ranges for Pirate? Currently it seems to be capped at 30 km, looking at the config file. Can anybody test it out on dev and tell me if you are able to lock anything past 30 km?
Seems the copy-pasted portions of the IRST code from Soviet radars, that still have the 30 km cap, even though it was “fixed” with the cap “removed”.
Oh, did anybody find out scan patterns and speeds of the radar?

@Flame2512 whats on the table of contents for bug reports? Anything specific we can try and dig around for in the depths of the web to potentially help reports. I’m hoping this isn’t another electric lightning bug report saga.
Mig-15s in test flight barely lock at 9km

well, yeah, those are really cold. I am talking about a hard cap. Test it out by flying behind an afterburning jet.
It seems like it should be able to lock things from much further, but the game caps it
He mentioned this earlier
That information may exist in the book I referenced previously if someone can get the full copy.
Same, From an Phantom to an Eurofighter its an HUGE step xD

No it won’t. AFAIK the current F-15E should have the best thrust-to-weight ratio.
Should be a peak of 150km, working on it.

Its supposed to be 90 minimum 150 optimum.
Do we lack LWS currently?
we have it on xray, havent tried it in a custom to check but I know the rafale has a working LWS so i imagine the typhoon does too
Perfect, I need to see if the OSF and whatever the eastern block IRSTs are called alert the LWS, because they should and I will not be stealth killed by MICA EM’s going active last minute after not receiving an LWR ping that I should’ve done.

i think theyll come with something like GBU-53
Brimstone 2s are the historically accurate payload for the Typhoon, never used Brimstone 1s. If they have to be limited to SAL, fine, but at least make them the correct version
