I didn’t say that I didn’t believe Eurofighter
They denied reports for F-5 that were using natops, ultimately not even an unclassified manual would be sufficient in theory if they don’t believe in the source material…
…at a guess - because they don’t fit his narrow worldview? A few observations.
-
References to ‘propaganda’ whenever European aircraft are mentioned.
-
When primary sources are provided that show something he doesn’t agree with - he will argue that ‘obviously they are using a different testing metric’ or someother
-
A PARTICULAR hatred and loathing of the Typhoon in particular.
Maybe he’s got a historic reason to hate it so.
Actually I’m going with that theory. One day this gentleman is minding his own business somewhere in the Middle East.
The next - Woof - his tent gets smacked by a Paveway.
As he looks up he sees a familiar, delta-winged canard jet arcing up into the sky. Flying it is the reincarnation of Biggles with scarf and everything. He waves in a slightly condescending manner as he RTBs.*
He there and then decide that he will take vengeance upon this machine of evil - by… erm …trying to get it nerfed on the War Thunder forums… okay the narrative might need a little work.
Some of the above post might contain satire. Use responsibly.

Sharing been illegal now remember lol
I mean you guys are really enjoying piling on the guy. But he does make a point. If BAE or Eurofighter (insert company here) has a set definition for that preformance then we know if the aircraft is underpreforming or not. If BAE or Eurofighter (insert company here)definition is 1.5+ the typhoon is under preforming. If BAE
or Eurofighter (insert company here) definition is 1.0+ then the typhoon might not be underperforming.
Might be best to make some enquiries in the UK weaponry thread - it’s a bit less anarchic…sort of.
Although I would imagine that non-classified sources on the innards of a RAF Typhoon are thin on the ground. Every documentary I’ve seen has had some very specific editing to blur out a lot of the functionality…
i’m looking forward to all the fixes for the eurofighter and also for the gripen radar as well.
as long they are not implented, i still fly in custom matches and faceroll mig-23m’s with the eurofighter.
As far as I am aware the sources simply state that supercruise can achieve mach 1.5 and the context of that figure is with a standard A2A fit which I think is 2+4.
Supercruise should simply be considered “the ability to reach and or maintain super-sonic speeds without reheat”
the exact defintition ultimately doesnt matter. In-game, with a totally clean airframe, the Typhoon just about manages to reach mach 1.4.

Honestly, at the moment, like with most things cockpit/sim related, It will come if/when the devs can be bothered. At the moment I consider the priority
- Fixing/Finishing the radar
- loadout improvements and adjustments (I.e Brimstone 2s)
- Flight model improvements and refinement (like the supercruise speed)
- DASS improvements (BOL overhaul, RWR, PD MAWS, etc)
- MFDs and other cockpit releated fixes

Super sonic is 1.1 so it simply being considered the ability to reach and maintain super sonic speed without reheat is present in game.
It states a supercruise speed of Mach 1.5.
You mentioned almost the entire plane.
Sounds about right. It came to the British TT, therefore it has plenty of outstanding issues

I still reckon its dry thrust is underperforming by around 0.1-0.15 mach
There is a missive difference in thrust or drag when there is a difference of .4-.5 mach. Think of it this way when speed is doubled drag and lift quadruple. So if EFT super cruise is 1.1 in game but 1.5 IRL that’s a lot of either missing thrust or too much modeled drag they both can lead to an aircraft with major loss of performance in terms of SEP.

where UV-Filter for HUD? xD
I’d bundle that with the MFDS. Hang on let me fix that list
