Yes. Bug report has been submitted. Took quite a few different sources, but a reasonable picture has been built
There is good documentation, there isn’t public documentation to my knowledge :(

Yeah that’s the problem, like for common people searching up Beachin Betty (in case some fool would try to flag this) and people can find it very quickly in YouTube, but not for Naggin Nora.
That FOI has been requested for internal review, but RAF is dragging there feet with it

Oh lol I can remove it if you’d like
Yes please! Dont want to unsettle it. Let me try my best!
Edit: thank you!
I really do wonder what % of FOI requests are caused exclusively by this and the CR2 forum lmaooo
those are strips are for formation flight at night

They need to reintroduce it closer to the way radars work for PIRATE. Then it’s just a question of heat emissions which aren’t they already modelled for IR seekers?
No, it doesn’t use the Doppler effect to filter out clutter, which is what makes notching possible
Oh btw @MiG_23M i remember you didn’t believe typhoon could accelerate into super-cruise:
“The Eurofighter Typhoon can also accelerate into the supersonic range with no afterburner and fly at supersonic speeds for long periods of time. Only a few fighter aircraft in the world currently have this capability, known as “supercruise.””

Nah we covered this but it doesn’t meet his own proprietary definition.

Non primary sources aren’t relevant and the consortium will need to explain how newer fighters “super cruise” is actually better than previous ones at some point. Gaijin is already on my side, they know it was a marketing stunt.

According to you, what jets can actually super cruise? Just f-22, su-35, su-57 and rafale?
Anything that can maintain supersonic flight with the throttle in the cruise position. F-22 is clearly the breadwinner, capable of 1.5 mach in cruise or 1.8+ mach in mil thrust without afterburner.

What proof do you have?
US sources are more trustworthy?
Genuinely confused why you think every operator of Typhoon and the manufacturers would lie?

He’s not saying the typhoon can’t stay above Mach using only mil… he’s saying it’s not as efficient as other planes
Deception isn’t about outright lies, I didn’t say lie. Gaijin said lie.
They claim it can super cruise to give it parity with the F-22 in some areas, to market the vehicle better. The real world performance is extremely lackluster in that area by comparison – requiring full mil thrust to maintain supersonic cruise. It cannot drop to the cruise setting.
I’ve changed my opinion on it quite a bit, at first I didn’t believe it could super cruise at all and I changed my mind when presented evidence to the contrary. What I’m doing is stating an objective opinion based on the facts presented. They don’t like it. So now they mock my opinions as though it hasn’t been an unbiased reflection of what they’ve shown me.
I’ve stated what I think super cruise should be and why the Eurofighter doesn’t fit my definition. That’s all. You can go “erm, well it can” all you want, at least it has some other redeeming qualities… Right? … oh…
wdym non primary sources. This is from MTU’s own mouth.
