The unfair nerf of the Eurofighter Typhoon

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.

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.

I would accept the nerfs on the FM given how unrealistic is to pull 14-16gs, but it is ridiculous that the devs are unable to fix the radar since the release of the airframe (4 months ago).

The CAPTOR-M radar is already severly underperforming but on the top of this, it is plagued with bugs.

Every jet pulls more G than they should.
F-4s pulling 9G is as fanciful as Typhoon pulling 15G

Dassault has stated the Rafales top speed is Mach 1.8, and gaijin gives it a top speed ~2.0. The companies behind the EFT have stated it can super-cruise at Mach 1.5 yet we don’t have that now do we. I sense bias of some sort. (This has apparently been fixed as of recently)

(Also yes I think it’s fully fair with how they’ve changed its initial pulls. I think the pilot is a bit thankful for this change as well lol).
