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

With the FA2 HUD finally coming, im planning on putting the FA2 properly through its paces in SB and see if I can get clips of the FA2 managing things that the CAPTOR-M seems to just fail at. A proper side by side comparison

F-15A/C have visual evidence of BOL. F-15E should have nothing stopping it from using BOL. those have been around for a bit, and still havent gotten it

hey Morvran, i remember you saying something about GBU options, and from my LJDAM bug report i found out that typhoon should be able to use 2,000lb LJDAM on the stations that can carry 2,000lb bombs and JDAMs

There is a difference in a plane missing something like bol or a missile

And a plane missing every single performance metric that makes it a combat aircraft

What if the F-15 was missing 2G in sustained turn rate and 1-2 G in instantaneous turn rate

As well as top speed and acceleration

For 5 years

And when gaijin buffs it

They still do it wrong

Fair enough but it’s not as bad

you guys can take it a step further and go for LJDAM though.

We’ve got the 1k versions already

why not the 2k?

God knows. Typhoon GBU loadout feels like it was decided by lucky draw

make a bug report. this should help

The issue I think comes in proving that either

A) Britain, Germany, Italy or another Typhoon equipped nation had the 2k versions of the LJDAM

and/or

B) they were used on the Typhoon.

The bug report for 2k bombs is already in regard to Kuwait Typhoons and whilst in some regards the Typhoons have loadouts based upon each nations arsenal (for example Britain doesnt get access to the GBU-48s with LSR+IOG+GNSS, instead we have Mk18s which are LSR only). Others are provided to all 3 (like the PW4s)

Also, not the 1k version, its 500lb version. My bad

So I gather that Gaijin is reducing the acceleration/speed of the Eurofighter? (arguably the things it’s best known for)Is this in accordance with any real life data at all or is this just one of the many whims of Gaijin?

Typhoon has good acceleration. Speed is subpar if you want to go by stuff famous for their speed

~2500km/h is sub-par?

Yes

Compared to what the space shuttle

MiG-25, MiG-31, F-15C, YF-12

All combat aircraft known for their speed

Ohh well yes those planes are stupid fast but are lacking everywhere else

The MIG-25 ability to turn is hilarious as it doesn’t turn
