That as well. I dont think they can model canards to work or something right? Might even be underperforming in some aspects

I am gaslighting but you won’t share a nonexistent source after suggesting the EFT simply never loses to the F-16 in sustained turns? In spite of the fact that a credible source says otherwise?
Yeah, but unlike the Gripen, National archives has data on the Typhoon and I know Flame and Gunjob have been gearing up for war for a while.

Current canard issue, from memory, is direct control and using them as airbrakes.
We had plenty of shit on the Gripen, it’s just that some bastard (mig23) found a document of dubious credibility that opened up the doors for Gaijin to kneecap it. I still hold great ill will for that effort of his.

If you think that the original Gripen FM was realistic your delusional lol, it literally went against laws of physics as I had written here.

Yeah… But I still hold out hope.
What credible source? I have not seen any being posted?
Are there SEP or rate charts/ acceleration diagrams for it?

You will have to ask Gunjob or Flame for that. But if they decide to share it is up to them.

I have no idea
The original gripen FM was overperforming. Literally everyone knew this. However, it came close to reality outside of energy retention after the initial nerfs (I think the second one had most figures relatively accurate to what should be expected outside of energy retention). Instead of fixing this, they continuously took a hatchet to the entire fm, now it performs worse than even that document of questionable veracity.
But this is also an EFT thread, and if folk want to keep their negative positions on Gripen, that’s their choice. Doesn’t change the figures are fucked.
India’s MRCA competition
5k feet, sustained turn rate at 9G for all except F-18 which had the 7.5G limit

I don’t remember any gripen nerfs past 2024 spring, and it was matched correctly at 700kph at that point and was still overperforming at low speed.
Still yeah sorry for going off topic

They allegedly cant make stuff unstable iirc, which has a bunch of other knock on effects when you have control surfaces optimized to work with an unstable aircraft

Because a lot of the nerfs just don’t get documented. And it really fucking sucks, because it makes me look like I’m going mental. Moving on now, just giving you the info on why you might not remember changes.
he has a habit of doing things like that to things he doesnt like

This isn’t peak rate thought, this is essentially who can sustain 9G at the slowest speed. Delta canards generally tend to gain efficiency at lower speeds.
Does that include American, Russian, German, Swedish, French, and Chinese jets & ordnance? What do I actually like then if that is the case?
Idk about charts, but i have seen exact numbers for the EFT with the lower thrust engines and even those numbers were crazy
Its other ppls papers tho, and they want to keep them for bug reports, so i cant share yet.
