The unfair nerf of the Eurofighter Typhoon

Nerfed to make the Su-30 and F-15 viable.
That is the only reason.

Typhoon might get un fked when the F-15EX or Su-35 are added.

Dont forget it also carries the fewest ARHM of any 14.0
And has the worst Radar…throw us a bone Gaijin

There are more important reports about the Typhoon but surely it isn’t that hard giving it a accurate purple tint for the HUD

Yeah, technically.

I think the unfair nerfs. Radar issues. nerfed A2G, even the lack of DL in the HMD are bigger issues than that.

We’ll just have to wait for ASRAAMs to “catch up” in terms of weapon quantities

That’s gunna take them like a year of Dev time to fix. Way too much to expect that fixed quickly.

Agreed, it was more the Typhoon gets crapped on and it has the worst Radar and 6 120s

Gaijin seem to think Typhoon is OP why else would they nerf it every week

This is shocking they added the Su-30 one right away on the dev!

I don’t remember the Gripen having one, but I just booted up the game and surprise

Came with last major. About half way through the dev server

Maybe its just my memory, either way I find it funny that they haven’t added it for the typhoon, only a few nerfs

Whats really telling about these nerfs is no community manager or tech mod is backing them up.

It’s so quiet…Not a peep from any of them.
Yet they are accepting bug reports to undo the nerfs they presumably sanctioned…?

Yeah… It’s annoying that things like this aren’t just fixed for everyone at the same time

I couldn’t post this anywhere else but I’d like to show evidence of how shit the radar is especially for those that have no idea how bad it is.

On this picture you see something you shouldn’t. Now keep in mind when my radar locked these targets it wasn’t set to the right side it was in the middle. It saw targets where it could not. Then it locked them out of nowhere and by the time it refreshed the target’s movement completely changed and my radar even showed stretched lines. The refresh rate is so slow that I cannot effectively track a target when they’re close by (even if i set the radar to 37kms). If you think about it, setting the radar to the narrowest search mode is not convenient at all. You won’t be able to see multiple targets that could be flying at 5000 meters of altitude. If they see you they can easily get close and shoot you down. Now if the Typhoon had a good radar it wouldn’t have those problems. But if you’re not using the narrowest search mode you cannot get a good refresh rate. Now THAT’S the problem everyone.

Not to mention the IRST which shows the targets on the IRST radar itself but when you try to select which one to lock it is shown OUTSIDE of the radar. What is that Gaijin???

Here are some examples of that:

(Morvan_ this wasn’t a reply to u I just couldn’t post it seperately :D)

So the post isn’t about the Eurofighter nerf but the Rafale buff… 😂 LMAO

Both actually

The Rafale only received a speed buff to make it as fast as an F-16 in top speed [according to documents], Typhoon received a speed buff and radar buffs…

Didn’t receive any radar buffs. Performs just as it did before.

Your opinions are suspicious given your thoughts on the Sea Vixen in air sim.

He is right though. It has nothing to do with the Vixen. You don’t even own the EF how are you supposed to know how good is it’s radar?

Facts are facts

it has the second weakest radar at top tier at the moment. Just barely beating out the Su-27s radar.

If you don’t believe me @MythicPi can better attest to the poor performance of the typhoons radar at the moment and has flown both aircraft.

Trying to fight something like a rafale is a total pain because they can see you and you can barely see them. The default in ARB is to just use HMD mode to hard lock a target and just forget TWS even exists. Not an option within SB.

The recent additional nerfs to the airframe have only hampered the ability of the typhoon further and more than likely, taken it further away from an IRL state, not closer with buffs outstanding when the nerfs were applied.

But focusing purely on the radar, It’s a slightly tweaked Blue Vixen found in the Gripens and FA2 but has a far buggier nature and can be outright blind at times. It is missing nearly all features that would distinguish it from the blue vixen such as priority track which would give it an AESA like quality and GMTI which it had on the dev server but was removed. Assumption was due to issue with GMTI in general, but Su-30SM received GMTI and the typhoon still has not gotten it back.

The radar needs practically scrapping and starting again at this point or just upgrading us straight to CAPTOR-E in much the same manner as the rafales skipped their PESA radar and went straight to AESA if Captor-M cannot be fixed
