the issue is that they didnt re tune the drag to make it match its IRL turn rate with the reduced weight
There is another internal report I think
But if its weight is accurate, then we’ll just have to get the STR, ITR and supercruise speed buffs instead. Along with CAPTOR-E, ASRAAM/IRIS-T. MMW Brimstones/Spears, PIRATE overhaul, cockpit fixes, etc etc To maintain parity with the Rafale
The plane is also unrealistic and overperforms against known performance metrics. I am currently working on subsequent bug report relating to energy retention and turn rate at high mach numbers. There is new source that I have been made aware of but using it in bug reports wont be feasible until I get a response from Dassault.

in absolute snail pace compared to the Rafale.
And its specifically annoying if the already grossly overperforming top dog of top tier gets buff after buff

“Manufacturer propaganda” incoming /s
Usually minor ones that dont really impact a lot. Took 9 months to get the HMD better modeled, but the HUD/Cockpit is still riddled with issues.
Many FM changes are still outstanding
A bug they had fixed with the IRST is back, preventing any missile being fired via IRST (even when the radar auto-switches)
The Radar is still underperforming quite a bit and Im thinking the fourth “ghosting/reliability” bug report for it is due
Its A2G loadout is just a joke. Not a single report in that regard has been addressed, there is literally a dozen GBU types missing, let alone more recent reports for things like Spice-250s, Brimstone 2s, Spear-Glide, etc etc
So to claim “EF-2000 fixes are still done” sure, technically you are right. But in practice, there is a long long list of report
Over 100 at last count
?
Typhoon Profile: ECRS Radars Introduce Electronic Attack Functionality – Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance - published the 30/04/2025
To my understanding, it’s still not in service for most in-game countries
the ECRS mk0 have been serviced for Kuwait (6 units) and Qatar (10 units) on Tranche 3 EF-2000
(based on wikipedia)
Europeans countries only made trials onto a testbed EF-2000
ECRS Mk2 1st prototype have been delivered in 2023 (for UK EF-2000)
maiden flight was made august 2025
https://www.eurofighter.com/news/redefining-radar
ECRS Mk1 only start to be delivered for German and Spanish forces
and yet, nothing for Italy (so only Captor-M)
Rafale has HOBS IR and ARH missile. The Typhoon does not. ASRAAM and IRIS-T would give HOBS parity to the missile already present on the Rafale, MASSIVELY closing the WVR advantage it has that makes it the number 1 aircraft in the game.
Never been an issue before for anything else. Or remind again, was the HMD and 8x MICA fit actually used in service on the French Rafale F3s?
So… If you are saying CAPTOR-E cannot be fitted to the Germany, Italian and British Typhoons because its only been tested… On actual airframes and is actually in service with 2 other nations… That is highly hypocritical
Though we all know its because the Frenchies are scared of other nations getting equal or better radars and they would loose their easy win nature.

ok, but those missiles performances are far better than the current Rafale ones, even more considering you also got AIM-120C’s already
yes
no, as said the ECRS mk2 have been delivered this August.
that’s discriminatory, and you know it,… i know you’re mad since like 2/3 months because of Rafale and how Gaijin’s doing it, but i thought that it was clear already about the fact that i’m for EF-2000 buffs as well
MICA EM is better than Aim-120C5 in 99% of engagements… So no idea why you are even mentioning them.
Magic II and MICA EM are better than any missile currently found on the Typhoon. Guess its time to remove them then
Was tested a year ago

French stuff for some reason is the only missile that gets a reduced half angle sensitivity in their fox 3s. That’s bias
Imo it barely makes a difference but it’s still a difference
Which one, the one for Rafale M that is over 1,000kg heavier? Yes, would be nice if it got into devs hands and told that it is for Rafale M.
if i recall it was following a Bug report.
AMRAAM bug report have been sat on for good part of a year now
Including one speicifically on its fov like mica
So BAE were lying then:
This significant achievement saw the prototype of the European Common Radar System Mark 2 (ECRS Mk2) operated on a UK Typhoon test and evaluation aircraft at BAE Systems in Lancashire, supported by the radar’s developer, Leonardo UK.
The flight is the latest step in the ongoing development programme for the UK Typhoon fleet and strengthens the aircraft’s control of the airspace.
The Eurofighter page doesnt actually state when the flight took place and could very well be referrencing the BAE flight from a year before
It was reported for it while it wasn’t for other missiles, (atleast at the time back then).

ok,… let’s BREATH ONE TIME
i said
1-> Test and evaluation, were made since 2023
2-> 1st SERIAL ECRS Mk2 was given to UK FORCES, in AUGUST 2025 (last link)
soooooooooooo,…
i agreed the UK EF-2000 could be given a CAPTOR-E ECRS Mk2 AESA
but only him,… since the others (Germany/Spain) wants ECRS Mk1, and it’s unfinished yet.
Italy is the only one that can’t upgrade yet, since no choices are made today.
Nope.
