does it lose speed btw? if not - fine
tbh you still can use it as BVR fighter… with easy multipath and notching… so no BVR…
It loses massive amounts of speed and then cannot regain any energy if you go above a certain AOA.
It appears that once you reach a critical AOA you lose the majority of the thrust output of the engines, and this can only be corrected by reducing your AOA below the critical angle.
However, you will lose so much airspeed so fast, that you basically have to stop turning at all to correct it.
sounds funny
when you turn it doesnt lose a lot of speed at around mach .9- 1.1
but if you go 1.3 and turn it just dumps the speed very quickly
and also no more than 10G if you’re unlucky

And full controls in a turn at mach 1 doesn’t do anything anymore. It no longer pulls extra
So will anyone report anything about the new radar issues or about the flight model that got nerfed maybe too much?
I can’t because I don’t have any proof but I did a game in air sim and my radar on TWS mode couldn’t see any aircraft going opposite from me and about the maneuvrability looks changed a bit and maybe it’s worse
But the speed at high altitude it’s improved at least
I play the F-2000A, should be the same as FGR.4
pretty sure everything that could be reported about the FM has been reported and gaijins response was just nerfing the plane regardless of outstanding accepted bug reports that it was underperforming prior to said nerf.
I wouldnt bother thinking the plane will ever be modelled right anymore, this is just how gaijin wants it to be for some reason.

Wont be suprised if that was like “nah it cant turn better than su30”
It already couldn’t. Fighting an Su-30 was suicide on first dev let alone now.
Cant outurn the Su-33
If the tornado is any hint, we’ll get it in 3 years… maybe.

Is there a way to confirm TWS+ is active in game on the eurofighter
I see that it is listed on the radar modes in the hanger, but in game I only have regular TWS.
Brimstones appear to loft higher now… not that it means particularly much because they still arrive long after you’ve overflown the target, making them worse than just dropping a PW4.
So I wanted to test out how considereable the buff to the Rafales acceleration is (at least at high alt), seeing as Statshark has not yet updated, so here are the numbers:
Brakes off to 10km alt M1.0:
Rafale C F3R: 1min22sec
EF-2000: 1min18sec
F-15E: 1min17sec
M1.0 to M2.0 at 10km alt:
Rafale C F3R: 1min25sec
EF-2000: 1min45sec
F-15E: 1min20sec
Numbers are for 20min fuel (constant) with 6 fox 3’s and 2 fox 2’s, plus a TGP on both jets.
Rafale is marginally slower to 10km alt in a Mach climb than both, but is SIGNIFICANTLY faster from M1.0 to M2.0 at 10km than the EFT, and barely slower than the F-15E.
My Rafale isn’t even spaded! Its actually missing 4 performance mods that would further improve its climb rate/acceleration!
There is now effectively nothing the EFT or F-15E do better than the Rafale except top speed when it comes to air to air combat. The Rafale is officially the quickest jet in-game. So yeah, have fun with that info I guess.

“This is a clear marketing lie”
They nerfed the acceleration of the EF too so its even worse than before. Hey at least nobody has notcied that the grippen now eats both the RAF and EF alive lul

Weird, statshark didnt seem to have updated for me yet, still shows the Raf’s VNe as M1.78 atm.
Didnt even realized they ALSO nerfed the EFT’s acceleration. Lovely. Guess its gonna keep gathering dust in the corner for the foreseeable future.
!!!Suggestion to rename in-game EFT to EFSB - EuroFighter Slight Breeze

Only appears on the stats card. Doesn’t show on the radar scope. Both uk_captor_m and _pirate only have the new TWS method in their files.

Is it an issue with my environment that TWS+ is performing worse than TWS? Several players in the Japanese community have complained about the same problem.
@Smin1080p_WT Sorry to bother you, but would you please be able to take a look at this report:
The field of view of PIRATE IRST should be reduced from 64° x 40° to 10.66° x 8°: Community Bug Reporting System
