Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Model is bugged in the 2nd and 3rd LOD. You’ll only see this when the model is displaying a lower Level of Detail for performance/optimisation reasons. And it’ll disappear when the model uses the highest detail model (lod_0) again


“pylon_3” mesh is placed too far forward for some reason, so it sits in front of “mfrl_002”
It’s the same in lod_1 and lod_2 on all three Eurofighter models.

How do you view it like this ?

CDK Asset Viewer

And is there a way to view that double aim120 pylon for eurofighter that’s in the files?

There are several dual-rail AIM-120 launcher models in the files. I assume most for US jets.
I don’t know what one the Eurofighter was supposed to use, or whether it was just using the same one it uses for dual AIM-9s

In the files its just the an Copy pasta pylon which is allready in use for the Sidewinder
Aka, you want to see the twin pylon for AMRAAM?
Well, you can allready in game…
Just look at the Dual Sidewinder

@Gunjob could you maybe point that to an dev?

So what is stopping Eurofighter from having double pylon aamrams, just game balance?

There’s currently no proof the FCS accepts more than 6x MRAAM’s nor any pictures of the jet with more.

Proof.

Though double mounts are highly unlikely. More likely to get the AMRAAM on the inner wing pylons. But again. No absolute proof that it was done. Just secondary sources suggesting its possible

As if the su27SM has proof for double rail pylon or rafale with 8 micas that was only used with the F4 or any other exported variants

I just don’t see why this is any different than the Yak 141 IRST, Thai Alpha Jet Gun pod, su30 double rack r77, etc. Surely it’s just game balance if Gaijin makes exceptions for everyone else

Not to mention a suspicious 25% engine thrust loss in high sustained turns and very long thrust returning acceleration no other jet in the game has, found by one user. This has to be just balancing

Id be willing to bet a lot that even if we find absolute, undeniable proof. Gaijin will try to deny it and claim its fake

It’s ok Gaijin will “find” or action the many reports right about the time the Su-35 gets added along with the F-15EX.

I mean, they slapped the supercruise bug report with


so yeah… I dont think any amount of proof is going to get the EFT fixed in any way but how gaijin imagines it should behave.

The fact that there is no evidence it was possible, And how primary source documents all heavily suggest the Twin Missile Carrier was only capable of use with SRAAM missiles and not MRAAMs.

The Eurofighter special

I cant remember if it was here but there was someone claiming that the way the air intake is desinged is bad at high AOA etc.
this here is a comparsion i found to other aircraft how much percentage wise the EF can supply its engines with air (1=100%).

Spoiler

For AOA

and for Mach

PS: It could also be i misunderstood it. But then u guys can correct me. thx

I recon by the time the F-22 or the more modern flankers are coming into the game, they will buff the eurofighter slightly, currently it’s getting the gripen treatment when it got nerfed a ridiculous amount of times

Not an engine expert although I thought the EJ200’s has 90kN of thrust each and not 95?

Its a mess and the all the things added last update have made it worse.
Least before we knew the MAWS system wasn’t working correctly now it’s “fixed” and it saves you from nothing.

Why even carry the additional weight if there is never a chance it is going to flare an IR missile or decoy anything?

I hate we have these systems in game and they are totally neglected on “balance” while the Su-30 can carry 14 missiles and 6 of the best ground attack munitions in the game.
