Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/75Meg57oyRDW

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.

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?

I dont know if I’ve ever seen a picture of them equipped but should be able to.

ALARM for the FGR4 and AGM-88 HARM for the German and Italian Typhoons

But they are a kinda niche weapon that they wouldnt have had much use for in operations like OP Shader

Especially as the Tornado GR4 could handle that just fine until its retirement

Brimstone2

Thats 12x Brimstones and 4x ALARM on both aircraft

Thats a mock up of tranche 5, the advertised armament there sadly doesnt mean anything.
It is only a show of whats possible for the future and what could be integrated if so desired
