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

[MythicPi]

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.

Now here's the catch:

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

[MythicPi]

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

[Gunjob]

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.

[miki3084]

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

[Panther2995]

Oh boy…

[Mulatu_Astatke]

It’s ok to try to nerf the Rafale with sources that have no credibility, but not ok to nerf the Eurofighter with legitimate sources? :P

Dw, I’m not having a dig at you. I know you’re pretty neutral when it comes to these planes.

[Panther2995]

I was just concerned with upcoming reactions.

Thanks for noticing my neutral state, tho i love Rafale more than EFT despite bein Delta Canard enjoyer.

[Panther2995]

I’ll take some :)

We believe this is clear Marketing Lie

[Mulatu_Astatke]

@Gunjob is this you?

How is this in any way a source that can be quantified?

The narrow FOV of 10.66° x 8° is used for both MTT and STT. Perhaps you should read the sources.

@Mulatu_Astatke

The field of view of PIRATE IRST should be reduced from 64° x 40° to 10.66° x 8°

When you say FoV are you referring to the FoV when using the PIRATE in the targeting pod vew in game?

Or the size of the IRST search pattern?

[da12thmonkey]

STAIRS-C is the thermal imager for Starstreak. Where does it say specifically, the same imager is used in Eurofighter?

[Celestia]

I would say it’s better to leave it as it is until TWS IRST can be implemented

You have two sensors, a Wide FOV sensor which is used for detection, and a narrow sensor which is used for tracking and detection.

Currently the IRST is a placeholder and it’s impossible to implement accurately.

[Mulatu_Astatke]

Should be a 10.66° x 8° FOV scanning the entirety of the field of search which in and of itself should be no greater than 120° x 45°.

[Mulatu_Astatke]

Not the same imager. Same detector.

[ShOt_MaCkEr]

Ping me when there would be enough cope from frenchie, so I could have a laugh

[Cafraline]

Mulatu_Astatke get a job or focus on your lessons because youre here all the time MEIN GOTT
