“When” the Eurofighter is added it will probably get its flight model nerfed as i can imagine it being added in broken state. The problem is gaijin not knowing how to properly fix the model for the gripen currently. Theyve done another 1° nerf to turning instead of fixing the SEP which personally i dont care. The f16A was a better turn fighter before in most cases, not always maybe 40% against skilled and i mean skilled pilots. Now its more like 60%, ive had a really easy time taking them out. Now when the Eurofighter arrives i expect people to cry and complain about its flight performance (if its introduced the same way the gripen was.) Do i think it will be bad, eh hard to say. I dont really think so but gaijin loves to prove me wrong lol. Regardless ill be looking forward to it and the shenanigans of who gets the best Eurofighter.
Gripen Currently has the Blue Vixen Radar as a placeholder. I’ve been having quite a bit of success with it in the Sea Harrier and no issues with it finding targets. The only tricky thing is the slow track rate.
IRL, Blue Vixen was one of the best radars of its era. In-game I think its underperforming a bit. A few mechanics that Gaijin won’t/can’t model yet due to game limitations.
Limited number of missiles for the Gripen or the FA2 is certainly a mitigating factor, but its also not miles behind either. Though wouldnt say no to the 10 to 12 missiles the Typhoon will bring, no more compromising between IR or BVR Missile
Some of the reports for the Blue Vixen currently: Channels, Range, ACM modes
Tranche 1 has a PD radar with 8 [to my knowledge] AAMs. AIM-120 and 9M.
Don’t worry, they’ll jump through hoops and bend over backwards to do it. It’s real gymnastics on German mains when it comes to what they do and don’t deserve and what everyone else do and don’t deserve cuz it’s “not the same” as their case.
Gripen E fixes that by moving to 10 missiles which isnt bad but again i dont really mind 6 missiles only.
ECR90 / Captor-M. Same radar used until the Captor-E (AESA) radar that is being recently added. Its an upgraded Blue Vixen radar and supposedly performs nearly as well as an AESA radar. Will likely outperform the early-AESA radars of the Rafale and similar.
People said the same about F-15’s PD radar.
Mechanical radars are only so powerful at the end of the day.
Yeah, you just have to be smart. Not played the Gripen since the update. been focusing on spading the FA2, but its ahrd work. Especially in Sim in such an incomplete state. Already a dozen+ bug reports for it. Also the palceholder HUD renders it almost unplayable.
if it takes them 9 months to fix. We may have the Typhoon before we get an actually playable FA2
Eh only took them 5 months to add the gripen C to sweden and it still isnt on par for ground rb as any of the other gripens. Big sad.
Yeah… Unless its US or USSR. Its a low priority for Gaijin unfortunately .
Not necessarily, Italy and France have been doing very well.
…really? The highest GER aircraft you played is BR4.0, so what would you know about that?
It’s been going on for 12+ years.
I’m sure it was good, but it seems pretty comparable to the an/apg 65 for the most part
That’s a bit of a stretch, probably marketing.
Except for the Rafale one you are probably right about that, the French were flexing a 200km range for the upgraded version, and it’s probably against a target more than 1m^2
In an alternative reality.
Ok then, lets add the eurofighter to the nation that arguably almost ruined it first, germany had no part in the development of the Mig-29, whilst both britain and italy helped make the eurofighter
If the eurofighter was to come to anyone first (it shouldn’t, it should come to all 3) it would be britain because one, they paid for the most of the development and without britain it would never had been a thing, Germany several times hindered the project going as far as trying to commit corporate sabotage to delay the project
Do you have to play vehicles to know what the Meta is now? Well i guess i cant say the F-16 was meta because i havdnt played it, the 109s are good, the 190s devastate in a head on, the 262s admittedly suffer a bit but the Sabres again are pretty good, so is the Mig-15 then the Mig 21 and finally the Mig-29, be patient
As i have said, be patient, other nations have jad to deal with sub-meta aircraft at top teir, just deal with it for a while until you either get the Eurofighter
Here it also states that it can carry R77s, is it true…?
Oh wow, I wonder what the mig 29g is, worse performance than the gripen, 6 pylons, no ground loadout, radar is meh.
What missile will it get, different ones for each nation or did they develop a missile for Eurofighter
To be honest, the J11A is similar, 1 data link, almost worst radar in BR (N001) and 0 CAS capabilities. They just said N001 can launch R77s but did not even differ the radar or avionics from original J11/Su27SK. The Fox 3s are nerfed by its radar so it’s not like Mig29G is the only one suffering.
