there block 20s they dont turn aswell as early models and have same engine and are heavier
Most of those couldn’t even beat a mirage2k because of the micas

@Morvran What bug reports directly suggest the Typhoon is underperforming flight performance wise, I am just curios. I tried looking and I could not find any ones that could be taken seriously. I know the bug reporter tends to bury some reports so I just want to see them.
For some reason, people keep on creating worse case scenario hypotheticals and using them to justify a vehicles performance.
Like gun only
or
1v1 duels
Its wierd.

This is because the best case scenarios for the Rafale compared to other aircraft are vastly different, which is why its so Meta atm.
STR too low at lower alts (though slightly overperforming at high alt)
Also plenty of evidence that its supercruise speed should be M1.5 and not the current M1.3 and it may have a wierd issue with its thrust where it looses 25% of its thrust after a turn for a notable length of time.
I think there is a report for empty weight too, though I cant find it.
Potentially. Still think its also just operating in a Vacuum.
Giving everyone AESA would be a good start.
Then HOBS (or at the very least, buffing the non HOBS missiles (like the Aim-9M) up to their IRL performance)
BUFF 9M or add later variant
Lock range and push ahead would make it awesome. Strictly speaking, seeker shutoff is not its primary form of IRCCM in a lot of aspects.
however if you take countermeasures out of the mix, after the update the F6 hunter and GR1 harrier will give them a run for their money
This is true.
I guess Hunter F6 and Harrier GR1 to 14.3.

All of those jets also need to bring much more fuel (relatively speaking) that the rafale or the ef-2000.
Then the jet with the strongest loadout (rafale) will always enjoy an advantageous starting position when the dogfight happens in a late 1v1.
Many late game 1v1+ I end up killing the last guy without him even knowing where I am. I just blip my awesome radar that picks him up him immediately, then disable it and move to ambush from the flank and lock with IRST for a final approach.
If you are not paying full attention to your RWR you barelly noticed where from and what range I pinged you.
Id prefer they go to top tier than see the F5 premium slophell that is 10.7-12.0

Yep. Ive done this too.
and agreed on the fuel.
In a Tonka, Im bingo fuel with about 1/3 of my tank left, below that im counting the seconds
In the Typhoon, ive quite happily headed back to base with about 5% of my tank left

I am human so I could be wrong lol
We will have to test this out for fun. find the limits for SRAAM
they’re likely using local host which gives EXACT values
also there’s no confirmation that typhoon actually met all of these requirements
this is just requirements for the program
btw rafale is severely overperforming if we took those documents at face value
I am wrong, disregard me
Yes. We will. Im hoping they get a little more polish though before hitting live. Were still a little unstable.
If they dont. I do see another report in the future
