Shouldn’t eurofighter have 32 large CMs? Or there is another launchers but wings?
If it’s wrong, submit bug reports. But it should comfortably defeat most other jets in WVR
Im assuming theres a source for like 2 large CMs per slot under the wings? I’m more confused about where the CMs you get from MAWS come from. They look like they drop from the fuselage in-game
I think additional CMs are BOL rails integrated with MAWS module for some reason.
That’s a bit of a stretch. There’s at least 2 other platforms it should have its work cut out for it, one of which we’re receiving and another we aren’t receiving for reasons. Valid reasons, but still annoying.
Missed “most”. Eepy and reading comprehension do not go well together.

ah yea i just remembered seeing what looked like crusty BOL launcher in the outer fox-2 rails. Maybe the mod is for like, the entire DASS thing excludint RWR? idk
Yep, a few will give a run for its money.
But “this F-16 pilot claims it can outturn a Typhoon, therefore nerf the Typhoon” posts are gunna get laughed at

The Indian competition seemed to imply the F-16C had better turn rate in unknown conditions.
So there’s half of this sentence that makes it entirely useless.
It is real world data in support of a claim, therefore it is not. If you have information that suggests otherwise it is the only thing worth posting as counter to that argument.
Only regime i’ve heard about the F-16 being better is ultra low and slow. The kind of regime that the Harrier destroys the F-16 in.
I would suspect that is the conditions its referring to

Nearest thing to an F16’s performance that should hold its own against the EFT is the Gripen E. It is a little bit worse than EFT, but should be able to hold against it. And F16s just kinda worse than the E for the most part.
Yep, Im guessing Gripen E wont be far off (being added)

Yeah, kinda need it or the NG to account for how badly they’ve fucked Gripen sooner rather than later. Even worse than the source of dubious provenance and circumstance. If they touched up Gripen, it would be able to relatively keep up with the new additions if you’re clever. But they won’t, so need a new one.
Been waiting to post for a bit now, thanks inactivity, but.
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK TYPHOON BROS!
It’s looking ballin from what I’ve played with.

The test was stated at middle altitudes and likely with something like 60% fuel and air to air missile loadout for F-16C at least. Low and slow is not the F-16’s strong suit, it was ALWAYS advised to stay at ~400 knots or better for fights.
likely
always advised
so you have no clue of the conditions then
shame it is wrong anyway
We know the conditions that cause F-16C to have that sustained turn at that altitude and it could be only a specific combination of fuel weights and payload. For the purpose of the competition, that is what is most likely. In any case - the Eurofighter would need to be equally outfitted for the role or purpose of the test and it performed worse when it was conducted.
Is it an indication the F-16 is outright better than the EFT? Absolutely not. Not even close. But to just slam the F-16 as worse without any worthwhile source and in the face of one that says the opposite is just silly.
