He does not though, he has advocated for the capabilities of the Rafale and posted sources for most of his claims, which is honestly refreshing since I like reading things for myself

Usually with my own opinions or perceptions of said source attached but yes. Unlike the British bug reporters I share the full sources with anyone who engages honestly.

After reading through everything that has happened above, I don’t see much of a point in throwing shade in here.
and that doesnt include PIRATE or even LWR bug reports :D
You sure? )))))
Im blind :D
Decided myself to went the possible way of IPA7in the future, aka, will add even the IRST/LWS reports :)
Good plan.
Gunna be another soon. I just need to write it (must do it tomorrow) for a report for PW4s missing DL. Should be able to update their target point mid flight (currently only works when within laser spot range)
Link?
:P
But yes, will tag you when written

Well, would be in the List under ammunition anyway, just like the Brimstone reports :))))
(Maybe will add then twice… 1x under EF, 1x under ammo…)
Good video on an F-22 drivers opinion on Typhoon
Notice how he talks about the power of the engines in an unrestricted take off. He isn’t the first to do so.
He talks about energy retention and recovery Typhoon is so fast and light, it recovers energy faster/equal to an F-22.
He does talk about the Radar and how he considers it as the one draw back to Typhoon compared with F-22s Radar.
He also highlights slow speed and the lack of TVC hurts Typhoon and it’s auto recovery system.
I know we don’t take pilot testimony as a source

I don’t think that’s necessarily relevant because we’ve had multiple sources claim that it can do Mach 1.5 on supercruise, (including one from Switzerland claiming it can do Mach 1.4, which would still mean it underperforms in game). The issue is that certain users are arguing over semantics (i.e. what defines supercruise), when that discussion is not relevant to this thread.

I’m surprised to see that the issue of radar locks switching to IRST isn’t mentioned more here, it’s essentially making the Aim-120s straight up unusable at times, as the radar will switch from PD to IR multiple times per second when I acquire a lock sometimes. Target can be flying straight ahead at you or actively notching, this bug still persists in all parameters.

The issue is more that
- The CAPTOR-M is kinda trash in-game
- The PIRATE IRST isnt being allowed to work in the role of fire director for AMRAAM’s because of the devs beliefs.
There is essentially no reason for the PIRATE IRST to be switched to if it is not able to slave the radar or guide a missile, which is the situation we currently find ourselves in. The interesting bit being that afaik, no other IRST sensors ingame get switched to as part of the radars track chain, which would suggest (imo) that the devs initially planned to have it work in the role of fire director for AMRAAM’s or in the function of slaving the radar, but either couldnt gwt it to work or changed their mind, leaving us with the mess we’re now in.

In the case of PIRATE, it is completely bugged, like it will switch back and forth incredibly fast and the entire system just bugs out, forcing you to re-lock, which most of the time will just auto switch to the IRST anyways, its actually insane how broken it is and it still hasn’t been fixed.
It feels like early mig29 radar level, i think it’s a bit of skill issue from my part but i still find f15C more comfortable to use at top tier than the EFT due to its crap radar, also I’m not used to its speed so i break the plane everytime lol
I wouldnt go that far. With the latest round of fixes, I would say its equal to Blue Vixen (Sea Harrier FA2 and Gripen A/C). So a “fine” radar but still no where near the performance it should be given that many other mechanical radars out perform it so significantly.

I just picked up a ghost on the ground in GRB… And it stayed there for like 10 sec… No one was there…
