Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

thats not true

EF with instructor vs F-14 in full real controlls

Without weighing into the EFT Vs F-14 debate: it has been shown that StatShark consistently over-estimates Eurofighter’s performance compared to in game testing.

Too bad thats pretty much how it would go.

They merge, eft monnkey pulls and win.
And if they play a bit more passive, Eurofighter wins there too

that is not true

It is true though. Let’s compare the following conditions:

  • Mach 0.65 @ 30 m
  • 2 x AIM-9M + 2 x AIM-120B
  • 4,300 kg internal fuel (92%)

StatShark says 19.9 °/s:

Spoiler

In game it is 18.6°/s

The F-14 loses to an F-16 all of the time
The Typhoon was designed to be better than the F-16 in every metric
The F-14 loses to Typhoon even with AOA limits

Q.E.D

not true actually in mock dogfight testing F14Bs dogged on F16s in a dogfight

Found another perspective. From the same magazine company, but this isn’t about Le Bourget 1999

And the sea harrier FRS1 beat the living hell out of the F5, F15 and F16.

Only chance I see of an F14 winning is being super aggressive and getting an early burst of canon fire off but it’s a gamble because after that, they are dead.

Fought one in a custom battle a little while ago and after the first pass, I owned the fight entirely, was just a tad miffed my Aim-9M decided that a cloud was a better target than the ABing F14, but canons work just as well.

did some quick testing and it seems to only do this at higher fuel loads, min fuel lines up with the calc

and besides this is around the margin of error that applies to everything

I would nonetheless use it for a tool for generalised comparison and take every result with a healthy pinch of salt

cobra button is not a “I win button” unless it’s an su30. 99 percent of the time it just bleeds off all your speed

it allows you increased nose authority

Even on an Su-30 you go splosh and become a helicopter

just dont turn so hard only use it when you need extra AOA for gun/missile shots

Clip doesnt work, sometimes randomly (or at least i have yet to figure out the pattern) spoilering a video breaks it
