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

The question is are they going to bring the new HUD glass texture on the release of this update

My report on it was linked to the internal report too

I’m currently sat on 4 over due FOI’s haha, I’ve chased them but coming up on chasing the chase… Busy world out there right now so I understand the delays.

allegedly the mach 2 figure is due to the PIRATE reducing the max allowable speed but idk how true that is

Well, even then it would not effect the German EF since it has no PIRATE

Haha, Classic Gaijin moment

Really?
I thought the mach 2 everyone yaps about was the EAP prototype top speed, and that had tornado engines.

Eurofighter say mach 2.0
RAF limit the operational top speed to 1.8
Italy and Germany say something different

So if they fixed the top speed, it should reach M2.47 in-game, meaning its underperforming by M0.21 roughly, interesting.

not completly sure what this means but my guess is that the EF gets NCTR

yep, its NCTR
also, the MAW gets some buffs for small (targets)

I want to nerd out here for a second, I don’t believe this to be true.

Previously the RCS and range were 1.0 RCS at a range of 20,000 meters.

Now the RCS and range is 0.045 RCS at a range of 9,200 meters.

But if you do some calculation to figure out the difference and find out if it’s a buff or nerf, you use a certain equation and luckily an already familiar one can be used:

(Plane’s RCS)^.25*(Radar range)/(Radar RCS)^.25*

Plug in Plane’s RCS as 0.045, and then radar range and radar RCS as 20,000/1.0 respectively.

The answer comes out to 9,200m which is what you see here. What they likely did is simplified it down to the RCS of a missile being at 0.045m, and being detected at 9,200m.

i think it is a buff tho
on the devserver it only managed to detect missiles out to 5.5km for me

Something else interesting is that the Eurofighter’s RCS reduction report stated the Eurofighter should have an RCS of less than 1m^2 while carrying 6 missiles.

Say they give the Eurofighter an RCS of 0.5m^2. It could carry 6 missiles with an RCS of 0.045 each, which comes out to be about 0.27, add that to the Eurofighter’s 0.5m^2 and then the Eurofighter still has an RCS of less than 1 with 6 missiles.

From the pure raw numbers only, it is the same. Its possible maybe that the change makes it more consistent in picking up missiles further away at around 9km or so, I don’t know.

thats brobably because it dosent take the pylons into account

Of course it did, the report says the Eurofighter was carrying the missiles and that must include the pylons.

i dont mean the bug report i mean gaijin
i mean they also dont do proper drag for pylons
