The unfair nerf of the Eurofighter Typhoon

I know but they won’t bother buffing it if they nerfed it so much no?

Nerfs can always be reversed, just requires a little bit more effort if anything.

So mach 2.3 isn’t a buff to you?
12G instead of 15G peak AOA is not a nerf, as the flight model itself doesn’t change.

@oppsijustkilledu
Which amounted to zero change to sustained turn rate in usable speeds and zero change in time to climb from brakes to mach 1.5.

I don’t care about the mach 2.3. The aircraft doesn’t pull nearly as much as it did before and has a SHIT radar. I don’t know why you are so against the Typhoon that you cannot clearly see that this is not okay and I’m not alone on this.

Oh no, the best airframe in the game is still the best airframe in-game! The horror!
Also I’m quite literally defending the Typhoon against hateful attacks of lies and slander.
My testing has resulted in corrections to the Typhoon that make it more like its real-life counter part every time.
From supercruise to sustained turn rate, to even the recent ITR test I was asked to do for someone.

Typhoon is still underperforming in ITR and STR based upon primary sources iirc and is more than likely also underperforming in terms of max speed both in reheat and in supercruise.

And thats just the tip of the iceberg. A long long list of bug reports still outstanding for the EFT

Nerf the Rafale and Nerf the EF. Almost all the delta wings are overperforming in energy retention. Especially at low altitudes. Fix the EFT radar sure, but these planes defy the laws of physics and need to be put in their place. They’ll still be the best jets in the game anyways.

This is basically the best response to this. Thank you.

ITR is at most underperforming by 1 degree per second as of current, but I also didn’t do a perfect hard turn.

21

Which delta wings? Mirage 2000s energy retention is correct using documents. Rafale’s energy retention in sustained turn are correct using documents AND videos. If you put strong enough engines on delta wings, they’ll outturn conventional wing aircrafts.

Which is a nerf i add an extra tonne of weight to a jet its a nerf.

Yes FM raw stats havent changed…

23

You are going to be doing this forever…
Its a just a mery old chase…

24

Well, atleast on the EF report list there is movement…
The Leopard 2 list is around as long as the EF list if not longer, but there is 0 movement… its the opposit, its still growing

The Gripen’s is very slightly too strong atm (though it should have much more AoA too) and the EFTs is just broken. You can enter a merge at Mach 1.1, pull 17Gs sustained, and still be going Mach 0.9 by the time you’ve done the 180. I think the Rafale’s is similar to that, but a little more in check especially at low altitudes.

Typhoon is actually underperforming in terms of STR

You can’t do that anymore in the typhoon and the raf can do that even better now than before lol

I’m unaware of any changes of the FM, only the instructor G-overload was reduced, but you can override that with full controls if you really want to, I think you still only rip your wings at 19G or so when clean and low fuel, it still pulls more than the rafale while sustaining more energy too.

The radar is bad and has many bugs, and it should be updated, I agree with that. But it is still one of the best jets in top tier.
