Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Found some info earlier about EFT low speed acceleration. Unfortunately, its unlikely to be useable for a bug report according to a moderator, but assuming its accurate, the EFT is significantly underperforming in subsonic acceleration, to the point where its kind of hilarious.

In this vid, the EFT goes from M0.6 to M1.0 in roughly 15s, starting at 9400ft and in a ~11deg dive with 2x SRAAM’s onboard, starts at 5:29 and ends at 5:44.

I tested it in-game (vid too large to send or put on streamables):

  • At 78% throttle (matching the cockpit indication below the HUD at 94, assuming said gauges are modelled accurately in-game), it takes roughly 30sec to go from M0.6 to M1.0 in a ~12.5deg dive with min fuel.
  • At 94% throttle (assuming the cockpit indicators I was referring to are supposed to represent throttle percentage and the in-game ones are borked) it takes roughly 23 sec to go from M0.6-1.0 in a ~12.5deg dive with min fuel.

At worse, this would imply the Typhoon’s subsonic acceleration is less than half what it should be.

Unfortunately, like I said, this probs won’t lead to a bug report, but its an interesting bit of insight on how much the EFT might be underperforming.

The problem.

We Submit sources they get dismissed as “marketing lies”

Everyone else submits sources which are extremely sketchy. Instant buffs

You obviously don’t know what freedom of information act is.
It takes months for archival requests to be processed and in a lot of cases they will not be accepted by Gaijin.

Look I get you somehow have a direct line to Dassault and Gaijin will accept anything from them be it a picture in a book and some text that says Rafale flying mach 2.0 (trust me bro)

Typhoon doesn’t have that luxury. But hey if you have time please do become a researcher and show the rest of the Typhoon community what they are doing wrong.

Interesting more like tragic the thing loaded up is fat and heavy.

(34) Rafale… From OP to UNMATCHED! - YouTube

“not only did the rafale get incredibly stronger, but things that used to counter it were nerfed and let’s be honest the new planes that arrived aren’t necessarily a big problem for it either because they don’t have similar performance or they lack comparable Electronics to fully utilize their strength in realistic air battles. This plane has become so feared by veterans that I’m seeing more and more closed squads with at least one Rafale in their lineup just to avoid facing France, and what about you what do you think about this let me know in the comments.
Now let’s talk about positioning which is what really matters believe it or not there’s no better plane for positioning than this one the Rafale’s performance at this moment surpasses the typhoon’s interception capabilities so you’re free to play however you want because you’ll always have the advantage whether it’s in bvr defensive routes or passive plays.”

I think this youtuber’s has some good points

also youll notice rafale pulling 16g’s while eurofighter can only pull 11-12G

Anyone else finding the Typhoon likes to auto roll a lot with the instructor you start to pull G and the game wants to roll the aircraft?

Makes defending SAMs and keeping your laser lined up very difficult

that happens when you turn the aoa limit off

It happens when you fly with the wings loaded with missiles and bombs. I never use the AOA meme button on Typhoon.
It becomes incredibly unstable and wants to roll whereas before you could maintain any Yaw angle

There is no LEGAL proof in the public domain. So I can go right now and [REMOVED]

we should try using that for a bug report tbh
the worst thing that can happen is them not accepting it, right?

and i doubt they can call the EF simulator a marketing lie

Oh trust me they can.

let a man cope

Not surprised his comment got removed

it didnt it is still there

And yet they spam incorrect bug reports to nerf even more the Typhoon

If you actually look at the first one you linked, you would see that there is a dev answer about it, and, that they do not plan for now to implement this feature… So it is all but incorrect.

Yeah, another fake nerf Gaijin has imposed on the typhoon and the french mains are trying to enforce said fake nerf
