Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

[Celestia]

Right now there is a performance triangle in top tier.

1. Manuverability
2. Survivability
3. Offensive ability

The Eurofighter is extremely maneuverable at high speed, and is extremely survivable due to the PD maws and excellent RWR.
It’s effective ability is very limited by comparison as it struggles with battlefield awareness due to its limited radar and can only effectively engage 1 target at a time, it has no offboresight capability at close range and can struggle if put on the defensive.

The SU30 has exceptional low speed manuverability, but poor high speed manuverability. Its survivability is also poor due to the lack of a MAWs and its RWR is very mid due to poor detection angles. It dies a lot because it often cannot detect missiles before it’s too late to either evade or notch them. It is also dead ass slow but maintains energy when manuvering very well, often to its detriment. The thrust vectoring is as much as a suicide button as it is anhwree

It’s offensive capability is exceptional and battlefield awareness is very good because of the excellent radar and large number of missiles with the ability to engage multiple targets at a time.

The Rafale has it all.
Excellent manuverability at all speeds, excellent survivability and excellent offensive capability due to the payload and radar. Literally no downsides aside from missiles that have a maximum travel distance of 50km, which is currently irrelevant anyway because nobody launches their misisles further than 40km anyway.

Find some raf engineers at Lossiemouth on a night out, get them drunk and convince them to load meteors and amrams onto the pylons.

Then go take some pictures from the plane spotters perch.

/s

Don’t actually do that

[Sean74218]

Even better, drunk driving a eurofighter

[ron_2303]

why only taxi it, when you could be drunk flying

@ron_2303

something like this:

When I fed one famous neural network one famous text, it made the same or even bolder conclusion as the one shown in this picture.

[Morvran]

And even then, the state of BOL is exceptionally annoying when defending against a threat

I have an easier time dealing with AMRAAMs and other ARH/SARH missiles in the tornado Gr4 than the Typhoon quite often. Despite the massive FM performance difference.

I often find I defeat threats in the Typhoon largely kinematically rather than with CMs

[ron_2303]

the thing is that that image is almost 20 years old

[HuckebeinDerRabe-psn]

The BOLs could certainly be better, but I for one have no problems with defending against threats - be it in the Eurofighter, Gripen or Tornado

[dotSHINI]

thats propably a spagheti code issue

[Sean74218]

The closer you look, the weirder is gets

[Dontkev-psn]

Ahhh, yes, luckly no AI wa harmed only the Chaff flare pods which now are blocked because of Brimstone )))))

[Sean74218]

The meteors are also like scaled down and the intakes aren’t 90 degrees from each other, and has a random forward fin

[Iluminas]

that mini front wheel XDDDD
I mean yes its small irl but not that small

[Sean74218]

Even pirate position looks wierd

[Armen_Lozone]

Hmmm?
Im not sure though

[Dontkev-psn]

Would explain why he cant say more than (Sekret Discord)

[Sean74218]

Same angle but different loadouts though. I mean if it was Photoshop you’d be able to detect that those missiles were added after

[Armen_Lozone]

Yeah i think its a different image.
The lil probe above the back of the engines is at a different position so fifferent photo

[dotSHINI]

Worth a try

[Morvran]

I’m more interested in what they have planned with CAPTOR-E (will all 3 nations be identical?) and ASRAAM/IRIS-T (given all nations have PW4s ans Brimstones)
