jazjar Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Back into track... VEAO, how are you doing this? Are you using RL Typhoon pilots, or are you using documentaion, like weapons employment manuals, flight manuals, etc? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
Snoopy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 depends on your definition I suppose... is the airframe from the 70's?..yep however the control linkages(?), engines and avionics (and not to mention mission role) are all strictly 21st century FYI...the ONLY difference between the A-10A and the A-10C is avionics... v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment

ec-swr Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 2 Spanish Eurofighter down 8 F-15C at recent exercise Eurofighter's official blog makes an interesting claim today about a recent dissimilar fighter exercise in the Canaries involving Spanish Typhoons and US Air Force F-15s. The blog says: In an interview on the exercise, Major Juan Balesta, the 41-year old Commander of the 111 Squadron stressed that a two-ship formation of Eurofighters involved in a dogfight simulation "against" the F-15s enjoyed full control of the engagement. The Typhoons managed to smash a formation of eight F-15s which had the role of the attacker with the first Eurofighter jet managing to "shoot down" four F-15 fighter jets. The second Eurofighter managed to disable three F-15 jets. Eventually the pilots were using the Eurofighter Typhoon to full capacity and taking advantage of its enormous capabilities. Trump that. This apparently refers to an exercise that ended last March. Who thinks Eurofighter is just trying to compensate for something, like a rumored beat-down by Dassault Rafale's at Al Dhafra? ht*p://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2010/01/eurofighter-boasts-usaf-f-15-k.ht [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC].youtube Link to comment
OutOnTheOP Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I hate to rain on parades, but I suspect this will be another of the "alleged" events that there is no official record or proof of whatsoever. Until I see in-flight video or official debriefing products, I remain sceptical of all these claims (I seem to recall the last one the EFA guys were touting was shown to have never occured at all) ...and that's sceptical of BOTH side's competing claims, incidentally Link to comment

You'd be very, very surprised with the some of the results, but until you're in the business you won't be privvy to them (not in specific reference to the F-15/Typhoon incident in question). Enjoy the banter, though! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment

Not an eurofighter. I've only seen one hud tape from an eurofighter and was a kill over a F-16. Don't know why they are so stingy with these things, neither have I seen videos from the F22 hud,at least not that I remember,don't know what is so classified about them,if they don't show radar data or some sort of eccm function they could show some more.

Too often do I read about its over exaggerated capabilities... getting annoying to be honest, they must really be trying to sell them. stuff like this: "More recent comments from BAE seem to indicate the radar return is around four times less than the Tornado. During a recent press event BAE Systems stated that the Typhoon's RCS is bettered only by the F-22 in the frontal hemisphere and betters the F-22 at some angles." http://www.eurofighter-typhoon.co.uk/Eu ... cture.html Edited July 16, 2012 by cameron126 somthing to laugh at Computer: I7 12700K OC 5.0 All Cores, EVGA 3070TI FTW 3, MSI Tomahawk Z690 DDR4 WIFI, 32 GB Corsair DDR4 3200 MHz, M.2 NVME 1TB Gear: Virpil T-50CM2 Mongoose Stick, CM3 Base, CM3 Throttle, Logitech Pedals, HP Reverb G2 Modules: F-15E, F-18C, F-16C, F-14, A-10C II, AV-8B, M-2000C, Mirage F1, F-5, AH-64D, MI-24, KA-50, Nevada TTR, Syria, Persian Gulf, Falklands, Sinai Link to comment

Tango Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 During a recent press event BAE Systems stated that the Typhoon's RCS is bettered only by the F-22 in the frontal hemisphereLOL - really? With all those nice sharp edges, big variable geometry air intakes, etc..?? Those canards can't be too good for reducing RCS either... Best regards, Tango. Link to comment
Corrigan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 A Typhoon in DCS would be fantastic. However, I must admit: Whenever I see the Typhoon I can only think of it as an uglier version of Gripen. :D 1 Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5 Link to comment
rattler Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) ;)Well to each his own. However the Gripen has its merits too.:D The Typhoon has been acknowledge to having the next best stealth signature next to the F22. Fact. It has a lot of abilities we don't fully understand like caring on a fight if the pilot becomes unable for some reason etc.. The F-22 is stealth, first shot and hope first kill. It has never been flown in combat so we theorize, if in fact it has a first shot first kill ability. You must remember that we have had a flying Typhoon since FC1, some tried to do the F-22 but it just never made it. The Typhoon did and now it is in transition to DCSWorld. That would probably account for hearing more on the Typhoon than the F-22. Edited July 19, 2012 by rattler Link to comment
Pyroflash Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) A stealth phoon? That would be interesting. IIRC, the F-35 has the best RCS when compared to other western fighters except the F-22A. Things like the PAK-FA or J-20 may be able to match it, but data is hard to come by. I must admit though, the probability is high that the phoon would smoke a 35 in a dogfight. Though the 35 does have the better tech supposedly.

Until I see in-flight video or official debriefing products, I remain sceptical of all these claims (I seem to recall the last one the EFA guys were touting was shown to have never occured at all) ...and that's sceptical of BOTH side's competing claims, incidentally You are not going to see any HUD tape because they were all BVR and as you can imagine radar capabilities and weapon launching parameters are highly classified newer planes such as EFA, F22... I don't think there is such a mistery in the EFA beating the Eagles, nowdays the aircraft with the longer stick wins, nothing to do with fiery dogfights, so simple as the EFAs were able to deliver their weapons and stay out of the Eagles launching envelope. Nobody says the F15 isn't a great plane or that american pilots are not able, but 20-30 years separate the design of both planes, the EFA has better radar, can fly faster and higher. The F15 is aging, that's why the F22 exist. Incidentally one of the pilots in one of the two EFAs who took part in that combat again the Eagles flies Falcon with us in our virtual squadron. He has told us details about that engagement and he is a member in this forum so maybe he shows up here later on to tell more. Just to give a bit of more information, the engagement was 8 F15 vs 2 EFA + 6 F18, the Spanish had to protect a slow mover as well, the F15 got to kill some F18 but all of them got killed by EFAs.

I am one of the Eurofighter pilot that flew in that mission as wingman. The data about the mission is correct. No typhoon shot down by F-15. You can believe or not but it's the same for me but please don't try to change the information to convince people in wrong way. Link to comment
