I’ll craft up a suggestion for it don’t worry.

Speaking of suggestions, I assume theres no further sources in the stuff y’all got from the national archives regarding its supercruise capability?
We’re doomed to get screwed by gaijins preconceived views of the world on this one? :(

There’s a Russian-language site called magzdb that has scans of lots of back-issues of different magazines including AFM, Flight etc. Scans tend to be in English even though the site isn’t.
I was able to find a copy of that issue there, and stick it on google drive:
Air Forces Monthly, Sept 2004

She’s going to get supercruise, right? I came across the bug report debacle in which the mods are claiming the EF’s supercruise ability is, “(a) clear marketing lie”.
The disagreement comes at the speed of supercruise, I think.
They didn’t say Typhoon can’t supercruise at all.

Ahh, so another Igla situation?
Kinda, not exactly though.
Fingers crossed it’s sorted in the EF’s favor
the idea is it should according to an archived version of the Eurofighter website and Eurojet (the engine manufacturers) be capable of supercruise up to Mach 1.5 (i.e. acceleration and flight to Mach 1.5 without the use of Afterburner)

they are so full of shit
1.3 should be with fuel tanks btw but nooooooooooooo GAijin is the ones who are the experts here sure
just say your engine cant properly model these FMs and itll be fine.

I just…
When I next bug report something or Gaijin does something based on a brochure/marketing material, can I call it a “marketing lie” and demand they go find another source?

yeah no one is happy about that wording there lmao
saw some people already getting it into a copy-pasta with random (mostly) russian equipment, was quite funny

Hey, you could have been told that physics mean the way your aircraft’s “airbrake” functioned doesn’t actually work IRL so it couldn’t possibly do that. Which is just a bit infuriating. At least “marketing lie” gives you a vague hope of proving it.

so lemme guess, they’re gonna change it to supercruise at 1.3 with min fuel and no weapons?

I am using max fuel and it supercruises 1.28-1.3 mach ish at 36k feet maximum
Top speed mach 2.14 - 2.15 or so at 34k feet
I was playing around with the Typhoon in test flight last night and noticed we get radar gun leads with IR locks when in range (1-2km). Is this a known issue with IRST in warthunder? I was also unable to turn off radar/irst, you can switch between them but can’t disable them.
That might be correct. PIRATE I think does have a ranging laser
I was under the impression Pirate can range targets without a laser? Not sure where i heard that tho and have no idea how it would work so I may well be wrong
