Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

[oppsijustkilledu]

Damn its still underperforming significantly to the weaker engined prototype then

[luque13]

The Ammo F-22 pilot also commented on how crazy powerful the Typhoons thrust is and he came from F-22s!

The only jets in the world that can dine at Typhoons table in raw kinematics are the Gen 5s

In case some of you were wondering, the Chinese community has begun to call the Rafale a “6th generation fighter” after the buffs that it has received this update, lol.

I do agree that the Rafale’s performance seems a little suspect… Especially in comparison to the EFT now.

[luque13]

Ha ha excellent!

And they still want MICA buffs.

The short and sweet is:

1. F-16 only advantage is being able to lose speed faster than the typhoon, only hope is to get an overshoot.
2. Eurofighters don’t really do falling leaf like other jets because of its power and it still can manoeuvre even at super slow speed
3. Gripen-c is for statpadding
4. While starting in defensive, the eurofighter can get behind an attacking F-15E (presumably with conformal tanks) in one circle before said F-15E can complete one.

It’s strange that no one has said this yet… Then I will. MARKETING LIE. ALL THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT TYPHOON ARE MARKETING LIES.

[MiG_23M]

I think the endearment they give towards the Typhoon does not put it in the same class as the F-22. It’s also stated that the F-22 beats the F-15 through the sound barrier (which the Typhoon roughly matches)… Without the afterburner.

Of course, these are all just pilot statements.

[Metaltank1990]

Can we just claim the typhoon itself is a marketing lie and go back to the gripen at this point?

[MythicPi]

I mean, they were underperforming before gaijin decided to nerf the EFT, can’t imagine theyre doing better now…

All his photos are photoshopped, and those who saw him in real life, didn’t really see him, they were hallucinations

Git rekt and cry more eurotard scrubs

How do you know he didn’t just get an alt account and named it Mulatu_Astatke? They both do the exact same thing of misinterpreting sources or handwaving anything they don’t like, and both have the biggest hate boner for the EFT the world has ever seen.

[luque13]

We are talking raw performance
Not the complete package.

Raptor,Felon and Mighty Dragon are going to be superior

[luque13]

Sounds like it’s time to buff the Rafale again

[Mulatu_Astatke]

@Flame2512

So what exactly are you reporting?

When PIRATE switches to STT mode it should not be able to see outside the FOV. This is only really an issue if the Eurofighter goes passive and disables the radar and only uses PIRATE for search and detection.

@Flame2512

That means it takes 2 seconds to complete the entire an entire scan pattern and 6 seconds from first detection to track initialisation. Once a track is initialised it will be updated every 2 seconds (once per scan).

PIRATE initiates a track on the 3rd-4th detection of the target.

You may have a point.

To be fair, even the Mirage 2000-5F is still missing some of its capabilities such as increased climb rate, increased MPRF range, air to ground radar modes as well as MICA EM buffs all of which are reported. It is also missing some range for the DDM-MAWS. The Mirage 2000-5F if anything was more like Gen 4.5 and should see more buffs, and the Rafale was supposed to be another step above it completely. The Rafale is supposed to be 5th gen but was not, only because of necessary cost-savings. Mirage 2000-5F also contains internal jammers, so I would not be surprised if it in the end it ends up being a higher BR than the J-10B for example.

[quartas121]

Did he say which was better?

[EnglishTeaKett1e]

I’m aware, J-10B was found to be unsatisfactory anyway, since PLAAF only operated low/mid two digits amount of them before switching production to J-10C. 10B still isn’t 100% comparable to EFT or Rafale.

[Mulatu_Astatke]

Rafale is still waiting on many important buffs. Why should the Rafale be held back so the Eurofighter can be somewhat competitive? The Eurofighter has already ran its race.

[luque13]

5th gen…
Can barely supercruise
Isnt stealth.

Thats really what defines 5th gen airframes.
Rafale has great EW systems and avionics but that doesnt make it a 5th gen.

Gripen E follows the same ideologies yet no one refers to it as a 5th gen

F-35 cough cough
