It’s not.
The current flight model will beat the world record time to climb to 15000m by 30 seconds with min fuel and 4 missiles.

Eurofighter is well known to accelerate in a 90 degree climb with full fuel and payload which it currently does not do so something is underperforming.
And now the same thing, but from a different angle and with music. In different versions.

Is there a source for this?
Most unrestricted climb profiles are to get to Mach 1 and then pitch up to 90 degrees.
Currently the time to climb for min fuel Typhoon with 4 missiles is faster than current world records. 15000m world record is currently held by Project 41 which was a Flanker with up-rated engines, pretty much every non essential piece of equipment removed…including the paint and then polished. Project 41 was basically specifically built in order to break time to climb records that were set by Streak Eagle.
TVC Su-35 is ashamed compared to this FM.
I’m here brushing up on my BVR, and yall doin’ backflips…

says the guy wvt fighting with ground belts xD
Technically it was a vertical tailspin during which my pal accidentally didn’t crash. My attempts to pull out all the angles of attack that the Typhoon has ended with me falling to the ground tail first.
I just tested brakes off to Mach 1.6 @ 36,000 ft and got a time of 2 minutes 29 seconds. Which considering Eurofighter say “under 2.5 minutes” seems pretty accurate, possibly even under performing.
Conditions used:
- 4,300 kg fuel + 4 x AMRAAM + 2 x AIM-9M
- Standard RAF climb profile for fast jets (constant speed ~450 kts / ~Mach 0.9)

Question about the RWR.
Is it rigidly fixed relative to the aircraft or gyrostabilized relative to the ground?
It looks very strange when a target illuminates me from the left, from a great height, I pitch the aircraft to the left, for a turn and then the same contact appears on my right, because it is in the right half-plane of the aircraft, despite the fact that from the point of view of the terrain - it is still on the left.
Is there a standard weight / fuel amount RAF uses for the eurofighter tests when stating various performance parameters of the jet? Kinda like 13000kg clean is usually used on the MiG-29A when no other mass is indicated
The design requirements for Eurofighter gave the conditions for time to altitude / speed testing as 4,300 kg fuel + 4 x AMRAAM + 2 x ASRAAM so I matched that as close as possible.

Oh ok if they straight up gave the fuel amount then it’s perfectly fine
Still default… ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

btw, what periodic countermeasure release patterns do u use?
Do you leave RWR sensitivity on max? or do you turn it down. Getting quite major input overload in top tier sim including missile launches that arent even at me and wondering if its worth setting it a little lower
Gunjob testing the new Saudi premium :P
Using the long acm mode…man of culture
Errm series 4, interval 0.10. Should be visible whenever I pull the map up.
You can turn down RWR sensitivity?
Yeah, in the air battle settings.
Only recently noticed it, so probably new but no idea when it was added
No idea how best to use it and what impact 0% has vs 100%
