Gen 5 is a marketing term for aircraft that incorporate previously demanded features while focusing on stealth features.
That is why aircraft such as Eurofighter, Rafale or SU-35 are not 5th gen.
The term was coined by Lockheed Martin for marketing actually.
Some aircraft which are “5th” gen actually compromise on raw performance to reduce cost where such performance is not deemed necessary.
So the Eurofighter can’t pull more than 9-10Gs in a turn past Mach 1. The changes on the Eurofighter this update was a reduced G limit on the wing (I believe 12Gs), but if the canards take a good portion of the Gs experienced, shouldn’t the G limit be much higher? how come the Eurofighter can’t pull more than 9-10 G’s? Is this simply a bug?
So the new .17 update, (client is currently on .18) removed this line “updateActiveDetectedTarget”, which i think would make it so if a target launches a missile the radar won’t confuse the 2 anymore because the radar won’t try to update the plane contact to a missile contact.
I wonder if they could make a RCS gate instead to differentiate between a plane and a rocket and not merge or confuse the contacts, but idk code.
Cost was the driving factor for all Eurocanards, it’s why they are canard deltas. The entire premise of this is to maximize fuel and payload for the weight given, reduce the needed thrust for the engines, and to improve materials costs. Other benefits such as transonic and wave drag performance are there as well…
But ultimately France didn’t make the Rafale stealth because they had underestimated what could be done to reduce radar signature further. If they had the knowledge we do now, they may have placed higher emphasis on this to future-proof it.
The Eurofighter by contrast did not place much emphasis on low observables and did what I would consider the bare minimum, leading edges only.
Then go complain about it on the rafale forum. You’ve been trying to get the eurofighter nerfed based off of misinterpreted sources lol. Besides, rafale is only being held back as much as game engine limits have it - it’s been getting buffs every other week.
It (barely) hits 12 when you’re running min fuel clean. any A/G kit will lock it to 10 for some reason.
I would argue that the general population of the thread has been reaching… to put it nicely… when it comes to claims about the Eurofighter for a long time, not that I haven’t done the same. Just a general observation.
He retired 15 years before YF-22

That’s not how War Thunder works.
@quartas121
Decompression changes nothing cause they’ll still be the same BR as F-15s just as they should.
Holy moly the supercruise sucks.
2+4 fit and it struggled to reach supersonic without AB and at 30k ft was barely able to reach M1.3 and at 40k ft barely reach M1.2
Definetly needs buffs
The current state of the EFT’s acceleration makes the supercruise more of “accelerate to a certain speed with full AB for 17minutes then supercruise will try to hold said speed but slowly lose it” more than “subsonic to supersonic acceleration using mil power”
(Obvious hyperbole on the 17min thing before someone says I’m exaggerating)
but but but you’re a Eurobro cause you believe the datasheets and that means you must 100% believe everything you say dispute everything about the Eurofighter being marketing lies (it doesn’t exist and has the performance of a brick 100% true) clutches <circle as appropriate F-22/Mig/SU/Rafale> emotional support plushie
Yeah, might be a bit of an exageration, but not far off the money. At one point I didnt think I was going to get past M0.9 without using reheat and then the numbers started to climb again
I just tested with the 6+2 and had no issues in obtaining super cruise. Topped out at 1.05 on the deck.
I guess both Eurofighter and rafale have been artificially nerfed, only about 9G’s max when other planes will pull much harder
Look at the amount of ordnance being carried
9Gs is when you’re loaded with weapons, which almost no other planes pull.
Oh, man, remove the fuel tanks, plus set fuel amount to 17 mins.
No sources have been misinterpreted.
The reports are accurate.
Yeah, that’s why 2 of your Pirate reports got “not a bug”, because the reports are accurate.
