i see a Su-35 and I see F-15FM fixes and Amber racks for 12 120s and IRST POD
I see no changes to Typhoon, Gaijin think it’s fine.
Maybe HOSBO is rolled out to all Typhoons
No, but I’m expecting more issues to come up.
as of now, my best strategy to play Typhoon is to literally think Typhoon is a glorified Starfighter + F-15E.
Always carrying double drop tank as Typhoon chug very much fuel. And try to consistently diving and target every enemies that are head on to you because either way they would chaff away.
I agree Typhoon have very mid missile kit, like, AIM-120 is very jack-off-all-trade missiles that master of none, I love how R-77-1 either by its quantities or its raw power on straight line.
People now are know how chaff works, AIM-120 really needs a rework to stay competitive.
That is what the EFT needs more than anything.
Parts overhauled.
BOL Overhaul
Aim-9M Overhaul
Aim-120 Overhaul
PIRATE Overhaul
CAPTOR-M Overhaul
And if we got ECM too… Would be pretty good. Though I still think postponing it getting AESA because “reasons” when the Rafale has had AESA for an entire year now. Is just a bit silly

Well, because technically Britain and others gets “New Toy” while China and Sweden barely got any new toy throughout the year, and so does the Russian, and US at the worst, only to receive Gen 4.5 in current Fall 2025 update. Being a really mid aircraft is just in the end mid.
Yes Typhoon had a MAW, but so does J-11B, and they’re sitting at 13.7.
And there’s South African Gripen that are more fun to play because its HOBS Power is pretty great (literally MICA Jr.) and also sitting at 13.7.
But there’s also F-15C Golden Eagle,but I think the main power of it is Full BOL, even in the end is BOL, 4 BOL is better than 2 BOL. I consistently Chaff Dumping in Gripen, and it works really great playing defensively with it.
Not even getting a UV tint update at the same time Rafale got it is wild.
And there’s still squished HUD lmao

This is still no excuse for BOL to be artificially nerfed through the floor. Especially given how many aircraft are suffering at the moment due to those nerfs.
Its a bit like removing IRCCM from the Magic II because the Rafale is doing well. I dont think the earlier Mirages would be fine.
Hu? Whats that got to do with the price of bread?
So? Because Britain has the Gripen C with okay short range ARH, the Typhoon for Britain, Germany and Italy need to be nerfed?
Hu?
So everyoen can get AESA but Britain, Germany and Italy cant because? We must be last?

And rafale got a cockpit MFD update recently
Thats it’s core problem, it now is very much a support fighter.
We need more missiles we need more effective missiles.
Radar is still very slow to refresh and track.
Now each update Typhoon now is slipping behind

Dude chill out lol, as I said before, it took the Spring Update for Russia finally had proper Gen 4.5 Aircraft, I don’t mean to gatekeep, just predicting how Gaijin treat “Gap” between countries.
Okay is such an understatement, South African Gripen is really great because you had a very potent HOBS Fox 3 and at the same time, a very good FM compared to Israeli F-16D Barak II, also NCTR at 13.7. And again since this is pretty much British EFT Thread, I also more talk about the British Tech Tree in general, compared to Italy and Germany, Britain have a very solid aircraft to grind besides the old lord Phantom FGR. 2. And due to Gripen way more fun to play because lower BR, that’s why Typhoon feels mid because stuck in between limbo.
Well, Gaijin still haven’t addressed that thing, so I just talked about how to circumnavigate the nerfed. I’m okay with Tornado ADV, since pretty much most radar you fight are HDN, only Flankers are your greatest threat. Gripen with BOL are still pretty overpowered (I think it’s because of the BR too), while Typhoon I like the Rangefinding MAW, but Rangefinding MAW from my experience at least only detects missiles when up close, while Optical MAW despite saying it 5 KM, it actually can detect more than 5 KM especially if the missiles have higher velocity towards you. And because of that, you can’t chaff dumping especially against MICA due to that lower luminosity so that’s why I think the biggest victim of BOL is actually just Typhoon.
Fixing AIM-120B and AIM-9M is the quickest way making Typhoon at least pretty competitive with current meta but at the same time, not changing the meta very much. Reverting the AIM-120C-5 seeker to be like B is such a fatal mistake, it literally makes C-5 pretty much worser missiles compared to B, it’s like AIM-54A compared to AIM-54C
I agree with that but Gaijin added Mirage with MICA which ruined the Gripens Rat party trick. With R Darter being massively inferrior.
You couldnt joust with R-77 and 120 throwers and you still only had 4 ARHM :,(
It took an entire year for Britain and Sweden to get Gen 4s. I think we are well worth making some noise, especially after the last year.
Harriers too. Their insane Heat sigs coupled with the weakest flares in the game results in the T10, GR7 and FA2 having a terrible time flaring anything. Especially as the flares drop in-line which should be a good thing but with the BOLs current state… Is the exact opposite.
BOL needs to be fixed ASAP.
Yeah, but they wont.
We dont even get IRL lock ranges for the AIm-9M, only reported 3 years ago.
But Im sure R-73s and Magic IIs will get more buffs soon…

Oh yeah, I totally forgot Harrier lmao. Yeah, the biggest victim besides Typhoon is Harrier, because others would pretty much just use BOL as Chaff instead of Flares.
[quote=“Morvran_, post:4470, topic:238822”]
Yeah, but they wont.
Then what’s the point of beaching here? I know Typhoon is very mid, but making unfounded claim is way more stupid. Magic 2 got its IRCCM iirc along with the introduction of other IRCCM-based IR Missiles. I don’t think AIM-9M would be kept like that if Magic 2 got its more accurate seeker, and especially other IRCCM Missiles that either have R-73 IRCCM or AIM-9M IRCCM.
Gate width IRCCM got quite a major buff and the Magic II got a few changes relatively recently that were buffs
Aim-9M has gotten multiple nerfs.

Also missing a working gunsight
My biggest hope, apart from the obvious fatal flaw that is the Captor M, would be to see a FM that behaves better at high alt, the bleed rate past 6000/7000 meters is insane if you ask me, it’s like you have the airbrake constantly on.

thats true for pretty much any plane in the game, not just EFT
Ok, but we are in the Eurofighter thread and I’m asking for it to be fixed for the Euro.
I don’t deny that it is an issue for others too tho.
