Re-uploaded to fix a technical error about the radar set. Sorry, my source material (Jane's All-The-World's-Aircraft in this case) didn't distinguish between different versions of the CAPTOR radar.
Tim, I'm gonna say something, and I hope it wouldn't make you do another re-upload. The AIM-9L/I the German Eurofighter have? its also smokeless. like the AIM-9M. the designation is AIM-9L/I - 1, the dash 1 meaning it got upgraded with a similar smokeless motor within the AIM-9M
@kizvy You could give a gaijin developer a ride in the jet, and they wouldn't accept it for a bug report. Also, they addressed the radar versions in a later year of the encyclopedia. Its my own damned fault for not using my latest volume (which has more accurate/updated specs, but less info about the development).
@@AuGTN01 I knew about this, but didn't want to go on a long tangent - there is some debate if this is intentional (the LI-1 vs LI) and/or the specific model it gets will be patched. It wasn't worth delaying the review over, since they change shit so damned often anyway. :-\
I don't call something "overpowered" lightly, but this one really does feel OP at the moment. I'm sure they'll powercreep it with an Su-37 or Super Hornet or something in the next update.
@@TimsVariety There's not a single aircraft they can add with flight performance that can compete with it until the F-22, genuinely. The only thing that they can add before then to counter it would be modern Fox-2s like 9x, IRIS-T and ASRAAM...2 of which arm the nations that use Typhoon
@@TimsVariety I like the Super Hornet, but it doesn't have the performance to touch the Typhoon. Thrust-to-weight isn't even close. Coupled to that it has WAY more drag throughout the vast majority of the envelope. The Hornet's only possible advantage is the AN/APG-79 AESA (at least on the later aircraft, or retrofitted ones). But how War Thunder models radar, I doubt the advantages of an AESA are going to be realised. Also, Su-37 was only a demonstrator, if they add the Su-57 on the other hand... While seemingly less stealty than the Raptor or Lightning (so less useful 99% of the time), that thing looks like it has some serious aerobatic performance!
There was some mock-up dogfight over Germany lately between a Eurofighter flown by a German pilot and an F-35 flown by an American. The Eurofighter won. If Gaijin doesn't pull something funny, the Eurofighter (or some more modern version of it that's yet to be added - the ones added now are very early models after all) should stay competitive even when they run out of planes to add. Even though it's not primarily designed to be stealthy, it still has a very faint radar signature, newer models can apparently screw with enemy radar, the best weaponry is on the Eurofighter itself... I love the fact that they added it, all three nations desperately needed something good at top tier, but it's simply too strong for War Thunder in late 2024 to implement properly.
@Eintracht-uy3cz because most of the dogfights don't actually represent actual combat. Sure a Typhoon is going to fly circles around a F-35. And the Typhoon won because they begin these dogfights within visual range. They basically negate the advantage of stealth by the setup of these dogfights. An F-35 is going to dominate a BVR fight. If an F-35 gets into a close range dogfight, they f***ed up!
I have to second this. My life included many briefs to high up folks and your life experience as one who speaks to many is very evident. You are very professional. You and Tankenstien are my two favorite content creators for your ability to give knowledge and make it enjoyable to absorb.
The funny thing is, that Austria managed to buy the most barebone configuration of the Eurofighter and still needed it to be stripoed down more so that it has no night-fighting capability and no defensive systems. But we fly sorties with 2 Iris-T missels, but no SARH or Active Radar Homing missels.
@antikythera42 We don't need to. Not anymore. After the crisis on our border with Slovenia where our Draken couldn't do anything to subsonic flying enemy Mig-21, because our Drakens where only allowed to be armed with guns as per our state treaty of 1955. The realized how stupid this was and lifted the ban, but after the end if the iron curtain and the expansion of NATO, Austria was surrounded by neutral or NATO states, which where allies even if Austria can't join NATO. So the military budget was cut and over the years it reached a point where even the barracks couldn't really be renovated. So when they put the Draken into retirement and the F-5 lease we had with Switzerland was over there were only really two viable aircraft: the Gripen, a multirole aircraft that was cheaper and came from a country with a similar background (neutral, conscription with many soldiers, but a limited standing army) or the Eurofighter, a more expensive but more capable aircraft. Long story short they bought the Eurofighter that had capabilities that were never intended to use and tried to cut down maintenance costs by stripping everything possible out. And until now there is still a court case about corruption from the officals and Airbus. Truth be told if there would have been a classical intetceptor at that time they would have bought that.
i had a conversation with a tyhoon pilot a year or so ago, and he said that the gun has a thin film like material put over it when the groundcrew are working on it, and it is designed to tear when the gun is fired. the basic purpose is to protect the gun from FOD
In that particular match, he was the last man standing, and the only other guy up on my team was an Su-34 hitting ground targets. I almost never get duels either unless its at the end of a match (at least, at top tier), its nothing but third-party snipes anytime you try to setup a 1 on 1.
Reposting from the old video, but I saw one of the prototypes for the Typhoon at the RAF Museum last week. Hell of an aircraft to see up close. It’s a shame they don’t get Meteors or ASRAAMs yet, but hopefully they will in the future.
Definitely being saved for a Tranche 2/3 upgrade iteration down the line for a higher BR bracket. Once they start adding extremely good IR missiles like the ASRAAM, AIM-9X, IRIS-T as well as the most latest long range radar missiles like the Meteor, AIM-174, etc; that will most definitely be a next step in air combat meta much like how 90s era FOX-3s did to the game earlier this year. Hopefully Gaijin will actually expand the game modes, maps, etc because that will be mentally insane if air rb doesn’t fundamentally change by then lol
Took 2 days of grinding but I got it, it’s my new favourite plane in the game, going from the gripen to the fgr4 feels so good as the fgr4 is so much faster
I don’t play top tier jets (my mental health drew a line in the sand) but seeing each of these reviews is worth watching regardless thanks to the brief history and to support the channel.
There is a fair amount of discussion about that point, and I'm not confident which specific version of the 9L they *intend* for the German one to have. We may see a patch in the very near future.
@@TimsVariety Digging through the files because this confused me as well, despite both missile modifications for the F-4F ICE and Typhoon being called AIM-9L/I-1 in the mod menu, and both being referred to as AIM-9L/I in their respective HUDs, the game has given the Phantom the 9L/I, while the Typhoon gets the 9L/I-1. Why Gaijin doesn't reflect this in the game UI is beyond me, but they definitely are considered to be two separate missiles by the game.
The Brits kept this programme alive. We are so lucky that we did, and the progress on the plane has taken it to be a pinnacle multi-role fighter. It would be a mistake to allow the production line to go cold and spend on developing new platforms. Late era Typhoons will be a top tier jet until they retire.
Star of Ace Combat series and flagship fighter of Spanish version of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. 30 years of Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon - Rainbow Dash and Zipp Storm of the fighters - in 2024 and 30 years of Ace Combat series in 2025.
The Eurofighter is expected to be overpowered if modeled realistically. The only reason it isn’t considered a generational leap is the F-22, although the difference in actual combat performance between these two might be quite marginal.
Im amped about this in Air RB but dreading it in ground battles. We really need static SAM sites around the battlefield or something because these planes can outrange most AAA easily
Sup Tim, amazing review as always gotta catch up to high tier germany with the swiss hunter. Do you have an opinion on the changes to the su27sm? i doubt it's major enough to be worth a vid but more turn and a new engine seem nice. makes using the r77 even a bit more enjoyable.
"It feels a bit overpowered"... If the Eurofighter is like this...i can only imagine when the likes of Su-35(or even F-22) come in.. High tier air RB will turn into nightmare fuel...
Hey Tim sorry to say but you got the IR missile for the German Eurofighter wrong, it has the "AIM-9L/I-1" now which just makes it smokeless compared to the AIM-9L/I. not a big deal but just wanted to let you know, I don't remember when they made the switch but I was grinding for it last night and saw the difference. Good vid as always ^^

The typhoon still feels like an unfinished aircraft. By the time war thunder fixes these shortcomings I’m sure other nations such as the USA will have their own top tier jet such as the f18. I don t know if that’s necessary a bad thing however.

I don't do a lot of gaming on Gentoo any more, but I use it for my secondary desktop and home server. I've been running Gentoo since the early 2000s, and actually made some contributions to the SPARC64 port since I had access to Sun SPARC hardware to test it on (I'm one of the 0.0000000001% who actually ran Sun Solaris on SPARC as my daily-driver desktop at home for a while). I also run Gentoo on my workstation at the office.

A bit bummed that the Rafale seems to be relegated to being just ok, but I’m Not sure how close they are in real life or if gaijin did the typical nerf France
There is also some confusion about if the AIM-9L/I-1 is intentional (vs the AIM-9L/I) and the specs its supposed to have. I expect them to patch the German one fairly soon.
Small correction Gaijin decided to give the German eurofighter the Aim-9L/-1 that also has a smokeless motor making it in game at least identical to the 9M

Great review, but i do have a question about the 9L/I. Ive been hearing that it does not have IRCCM. Do they actually have it in game? I trust your information more than the other places ive heard the opposite from.
I believe its supposed to, but there is also some confusion about what the exact model of the 9L/I on the German EF is supposed to be. I'm expecting a patch at some point in the near future, so I didn't spend a lot of time on it.

Or with the Tiger 2 P being at the same BR as the better Tiger 2H or even things like the T34 and then we're not even talking about the 7.7 vehicles. Or the FlaRakRad that doesn't even need to spawn in when there is a Pantsir. Or the Spike puma being at 11.0 because the spikes are sooo good that it would be op if they would hit anything. But no no, its not gay jins fault. Or the slow ass Me262 with its slow ass Mk108 being on 7.0 so it can fight the Su11 that is like 3x as fast or the F89B that even got an afterburner on 7.0. and then we didn't even talk about the Me's on 8.0 that get fucked by missles and are slowe than all the other, the match is over when you get there because those lil rockets only last 2:30min. Afte that you're are a 7.0 Me262 on 8.0. Yes.... this CAN'T be Gay jins fault. Do you know the definition of insanity? Insanity is, doing the exact same fuckin thing over and over again and expecting things to change. That is crazy.

I don't do a lot of gaming on Gentoo any more, but I use it for my secondary desktop and home server. I've been running Gentoo since the early 2000s, and actually made some contributions to the SPARC64 port since I had access to Sun SPARC hardware to test it on (I'm one of the 0.0000000001% who actually ran Sun Solaris on SPARC as my daily-driver desktop at home for a while). I also run Gentoo on my workstation at the office.
so how do i use aim 120s on the f4f ice to even grind this plane
Check my channel vids for my tutorial on air to air missiles.
@TimsVariety i can try
I just hope there is one for this one missile that explaind how to use im conundrum with the 24 bombs i carry on the f4f ice
@@FM-hw8yv I promise, my radar guide and missile guide will answer all your questions.
I just barely started grinding for this jet and i already want to kms
They fixed the gun port model issue by the way
A while back, they fixed a bug literally AS I was uploading a review video. Epic timing, as always :-)
Hey Tim, its actually the AIM9L/I-1 which has a smokeless motor as well. so its basically a 9M ^^ good review as always =)
See other comment threads on here about that topic.
There is contention/confusion about the 9L/I , and it may be patched (again) so I didn't want to delay the video's release over such a minor bit of minutia.
@ oh okay, thanks for the info =)
A bit bummed that the Rafale seems to be relegated to being just ok, but I’m
Not sure how close they are in real life or if gaijin did the typical nerf France
Im having a great time with the Rafale so far, my review will be fairly positive.
@ awesome to hear! Haven’t gotten their yet but I love the French fighters, I was only going based on what people were saying
The rafale feels very nice you can easily dogfight everything except for the euro fighter
shouldnt it get 10 missiles? it literally says that on the steam page.
Eurofighter, Rafale, and still no Hornet :(
WHERE IS MY F-18
I'm purely annoyed cause the Germany ef has a place holder radar still..
There is also some confusion about if the AIM-9L/I-1 is intentional (vs the AIM-9L/I) and the specs its supposed to have. I expect them to patch the German one fairly soon.
Small correction
Gaijin decided to give the German eurofighter the Aim-9L/-1 that also has a smokeless motor making it in game at least identical to the 9M
See other comments about it.

Why are we having 9L stock at 14.0 that's goofy af bruh
God,this plane is sexy...
No Meteors for the Brits?
Not *yet*
Ah. As red team sim player I going to have more worse time 😅
Great review, but i do have a question about the 9L/I. Ive been hearing that it does not have IRCCM. Do they actually have it in game? I trust your information more than the other places ive heard the opposite from.
I believe its supposed to, but there is also some confusion about what the exact model of the 9L/I on the German EF is supposed to be. I'm expecting a patch at some point in the near future, so I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
@TimsVariety thank you.
something something wrong enemy
bro really said vid instead of saying video
good video overall tho
Hot take, I don’t like the look of the Euro Typhoon.
lets gooo
lol watching your vid and test flying typhoon in game.. noticing they changed the gun port and it is now uncovered (yesterday was covered).. minute later, you talk about it being closed in the vid... so sad news, but your vid is outdated now:D
They looooove to do that to me. Earlier this year they updated a plane WHILE my vid was uploading....
Finnaly russia is getting taste of own medicine in top tier sim ground battles being wiped out by brimstone from range they cant do shit about
Why are german things always worse than the others.... same shit everytime.
In a practical sense, the differences are incredibly minor. The German version is still an absolute beast in combat.
@@TimsVariety Sure. But a laser warning system or a nice targeting pod would be nice to get. But nuhu not for germany.... i just don't like that because that happens so fuckin often.
@AdiLPTV Well you got to take it up with the Luftwaffe then. Gaijin didn't randomly decide to not give it to the German version
@@Hunter-ww9rd Ah you mean like the Phz2000 that is known for its fast reload that now is at 10 sec and is worse in any way than the 0.3br higher Vidar. Sure. Guessing that's also on the Bundeswehr that they forgot to add it to the vehicles. And that ⅕ of the vehicles are fake in this game but the germans get theirs taken away is clearly the stupidity of the Wehrmacht. No no. Gay jin always tries to help Germany, but the germans are the ones that they don't li... ohhh i mean that make it difficult. Or with the Tiger 2 P being at the same BR as the better Tiger 2H or even things like the T34 and then we're not even talking about the 7.7 vehicles. Or the FlaRakRad that doesn't even need to spawn in when there is a Pantsir. Or the Spike puma being at 11.0 because the spikes are sooo good that it would be op if they would hit anything. But no no, its not gay jins fault. Or the slow ass Me262 with its slow ass Mk108 being on 7.0 so it can fight the Su11 that is like 3x as fast or the F89B that even got an afterburner on 7.0. and then we didn't even talk about the Me's on 8.0 that get fucked by missles and are slowe than all the other, the match is over when you get there because those lil rockets only last 2:30min. Afte that you're are a 7.0 Me262 on 8.0. Yes.... this CAN'T be Gay jins fault.
Do you know the definition of insanity? Insanity is, doing the exact same fuckin thing over and over again and expecting things to change. That is crazy.
German has AIM9 L/I-1 not AIM9 L/I
