Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Found it randomly from some document/news paper reporting mostly about Le Bourget 1999, where I was originally looking for something else, but then stumbled upon this

The GBU?

The white missile

Hey sorry for the question but would it be possible to check and maybe tell people to stop flagging standard posts during a discussion?

Someone in here is flagging comments that do not break rules or contain any offensive parts and yet still get hidden.

How does that system even work? Is it enough for a single player to flag a post?

Good amount are off-topic from what I can see

Someone flagged a random post of mine in this thread from nearly 18 months ago early tonight. :D

Does it confirm which airshow the picture was taken at?

Le Bourget 1999 aka Paris Airshow 1999. Image was shown twice during Le Bourget 1999 parts, once close at the start and then in the actual section talking about the airshow

Edit: I found a old VHS tape about Le Bourget 1999, I’ll report back if I find anything

Same thing happend to me

Me too, I would like to apologize for my hateful comment

Nothing showing the static EFT with the displayed weapons, only air to air missiles. I assume there are more, but weren’t shown in the tape

Couple more practice dogfights. post-nerf EF is worse in a low speed merge than a fully loaded F-14B…

Did u do those “practice duels” with full fuel + 3 fuel tanks?
Cuz there is no other explanation.

The Eurofighter is still one of the best dogfighters in game and certainly not worse at slow speeds than fully loaded F14B.

This loadout adds 1098.2kg of weight to the EF

This loadout adds 1568.8kg of weight to the F-14B

I chose the AIM-54A because it is lighter than the AIM-54C

it isnt.

it might be a lack of dueling expirence instead

@Metaltank1990 i would gladly fly the EF against your F-14B i should easily lose against you right?

Damn look at that radius disparity, F-14 is nearly double.

I’m not going to argue the F-14 has better turn radius or anything like that, but using the minimum turn radius comparison using a third party tool does not tell the entire story. That same chart will tell you that the F-14 has one of the highest sustained turn rates in the game.

Of course, how that actually pans out is much different.

The problem is that the F14 reaches that rate at speeds where your pilot is permanently blacked out and it is increadably easy to rip your wings of in the F14 at that speed.

And I can tell you that it is possible to reach that STR in WT.

Also @Metaltank1990 claimed the the F14 is better than the EF in slow speed performance,
which it isnt

EF can just monkey pull to get a good position on the F14 no matter the speed
