If, when introducing ASRAAM and IRIS-T, they add them as Brimstones - to everyone at once (although, as far as I remember, the bomb armament of the Typhoons is different), then I will definitely remember the SAAF Gripen and its lack of 120. Thank you, I will remember this and pay more attention.
Idk what the speeds are initially, but I might see where he’s pulling G’s at. I can also hear the afterburner. He looks pretty fast so let’s say 1.3 or 1.4 Mach. At those speeds the EFT is in it’s element, so I can see he pulls the turn starting around 4G, continues into ~7G, and ends with a couple seconds of 9G. After that I hear “Transsonic,” which means he’s around 0.9 Mach. That seems very reasonable. I also assume he’s on a lower fuel load and only has 2 IR missiles because the clip starts and ends with nothing else being shown otherwise, so that makes a lot of sense. Ingame, an EFT could merge at Mach 1, pulling its max G and getting its nose around at around Mach 0.90.
Again, my summary is pure guesswork based on what I can see after scanning the HUD and analyzing the video, but it seems to be the case that based on this video, the EFT is (as I said) slightly overperforming in energy retention.

Thats the report for instant. I cant find the report for sustained.
Then provide a source that states that then. Otherwise its a fake nerf.
“its a delta wing therefore should bleed speed like mad” is not a good enough source to justifiy a rather large nerf to an aircraft underperforming so sigificantly already

the nerf dosent affect str at all
and i doubt that it is able to pull itr up to 12G irl, same goes for the rafale
+1 I have the same issue. Thanks for that.
Well… That’s kinda just the nature of delta wings. It’s the tradeoff of having such good transonic and supersonic capability. As we can see in the video @Typhoon posted, I’m not asking for it to bleed speed like the F-111 does post-nerf. What I see in that video is how a plane IRL should act of the EFT’s type. But having strong engines doesn’t stop the plane from turning itself into an airbrake. My source is aerodynamics and physics.
I know you’ve said this already but most of what you said were just assumptions/guesses and we don’t know what the loadout, fuel amount could’ve been,
I’m not trying to get MythicPi involved but he did send a similar video which indicates that the acceleration at a certain speed in game underperforming I’m pretty sure
Yep.
Someone here posted a document stating it can pull upto 12G

I did, but we dont know if the simulator being used has an accurate FM. If it does tho, the EFT is massively underperforming.

We know up to 35° AOA is achievable from a non-restricted source and the G limit is from the flight computer. I’m sure someone can do maths and figure out something somewhere.
Was gunjob, posted in the german EFT thread. Also has a higher G-onset than the Rafale.
Spoiler
Turn performance at speeds below around 800 kph is basically unchanged since the patch. The EFT still wins against everything assuming similar fuel loads. I’m including the turn rate charts of the pre and post-patch EFT flight models with the blue for pre-patch
Real photo? What is on the 1st pylon?

Looks like agm65
Yes my dear, you can use everything that is available for download on the official Gaijin/War Thunder channels.
Never download from third parties.

Surely the simulator has to be identical to the real typhoon.
The guy did say in the video “The basic principles of what you can see are exactly as it would be in the real airplane” but I’m not sure if he meant the airplane itself or just the cockpit
Hypothetically, if HARM missile or sniper targeting pod ever come, would this be sufficient proof that the Eurofighter could equip them, even if they have never been fitted onto the airframe?
Sniper should be relatively easy to get
Unless they decide it must be nation specific, though the Harrier Gr7/9 did use Sniper so they were in the RAFs arsenal.
As for HARMs, that photo is possibly useful, but im sure there are other source for it too
Oh cool, I could never find pics of the sniper pod on a eurofighter. But what about Agm-88 HARM?
