Why is the Eurofighter so nerfed?

Eurofighter radar is plenty usable, it’s still OP if its used right, the only issue is the TWS and the HMD not locking sometimes, but then again this is a common issue across all radars afaik

I think eurofighter mains would actually lose their minds if they had to use the flanker’s radar. Same issues but even worse

Coming from someone that has played both the EFT and the J-11A quite a bit, it sometimes feels like even the N001 radar is better

why cope for nothing?

Are we playing the same jet?

Ive played both a decent bit and the radars feel quite similar. The N001 still makes me rage more, but the EFT’s radar is definitly up their in terms of unreliable garbage atm.

The CAPTOR-M as it currently stands is a liability in sim.

Agreed

Text translated to English by AI; English is not my native language.

After reading this argument (beyond the somewhat arrogant and haughty language of the user DirectSupport), and after reading everything that has been written so far, it is clear to me that the EF 2000 definitely needs to be provided with all the components that characterize this aircraft and this series in particular. I also feel that we are reaching a point where there are aircraft that use AESA radars and weigh in with the advantage that this technology brings. In fact, now that I think about it, I understand why “nerfs” are sometimes necessary. I have always been against that, but one cannot be so radical when expressing an opinion, and I apologize for that. I do not possess great skill in playing the game, it’s true, but I still think and feel from my experience that there are some imbalances that need to be corrected. As I mentioned in another thread, combat aircraft from a certain period onwards incorporate electronic countermeasures in the real world, and that is something that is not seen in this game, but is seen in others. Of course, it has been said that this would create a whole mess and many imbalances, but, as a saying from my country goes: “he who meddles as a redeemer dies crucified” (within the Catholic belief). That is, if a game is created that stands out for its supposed realism, then I would like them to make the full effort to create a true gaming experience without violating military secrets, relying only on information that can be found on any reasonably serious website. In short, I believe that beyond “marginalizing” people for expressing an opinion based on their gaming experience, there should be a bit more professionalism in that sense, and be more objective in order to improve the many imbalances in the game that I admit I still enjoy a lot despite everything. I am a big fan, and like any fan, I am obliged to be honest and straightforward in order to help improve War Thunder.

I apologize for my shortcomings, guys.

Found this on the IRST 21 product page for LM

Specifically:

IRST21 can autonomously or in combination with other sensors support the guidance of beyond-visual-range weapons

I guess this should have been an additional source to support the theory for Eurofighter firing the AIM-120A’s through PIRATE without the use of laser rangefinder since devs believe it’s not possible without laser rangefinder.

Also found this, specifically for the Legion Pod on the F-15C, showing it was used to cue AIM-9X Blk II, assuming with DL but unfortunately had not completed AIM-120C/D live firings at least at this time.

It also notes the flight restrictions for the F-15C come from a lack of current flight envelope testing and not necessary a hard limit, and I think personally won’t ever be fully cleared as they will be superceded by F-15EXs before long anyways.

And that’s from 2020-2021.

@Flame2512 sounds like theres new supporting evidence for ur bug reports

fr, they gave eurofighter g+aoa limiter but didnt give it to rafale which still pulls 18g+

Rafale is the best, FM included.

You are correct usually but what you wrote there is off completely.

Rafale is king. Just like MICA. Sure R-77-1 and AIM-120C have a longer range but Rafale can usually defend easily enough.

Once Rafale comes in close you are dead.

Isnt it modeled off fotage they claimed it was at 50% fuel but somone pointed out the bingo fuel was going off in the same clip some time after? And they ignored that for some reason.

Found the bug report

I see people claiming the rafale was at 17% not 50% here, i dont speak frog so idk whats going on in the vid tbh.

bro Eurofighter is F15E but better, idk why ur complaining. It’s like top 3 plane in the game right now. And I say that the Eurofighter is better than F15E because the acceleration, climb rate, top speed, and missiles is pretty much the same as the F15E but Eurofighter can turn fight.

There is something to that argument but post nerf I did worse in Eurofighter than in F-15E which is laughable.

F15E has better CM load, Radar and arguably, A2A fit with the ability to run 8x AMRAAM. (9Ms are just worthless)

Also typhoon is underperforming in pretty much every metric at the moment
