How does the Eurofighter compare?

[RingPirate]

I've looked at a couple of other threads and found some interesting stuff. My question goes out to the seasoned pilots. How good do you think it is (in the game)? I've been playing smokescreen allot latley and I don't like the Eurofighter. I think it's way to slow and rolls slowly too. On the other hand in can turn very sharp. I do much better in the Mig (get more points) I sneek up on Eurofighters and take them out alomost every time (machine gun + 1 or 2 rockets does it). But I cant realyy sneak up on the Mig in a Eurofighter since it's so damned slow. Takes too long. Opinions. What do you think?

edit: the machinegus on the mig are aslo better than the the eurofighters I think

Opps **** wong place could a moderator plz move this to the Euro Trash section?

Eurofighter as modeled in the game = Junk. They hung the bombs way out on the wings which requires a near vertical delivery profile to get them on target.

As a fighter it is ok against the bombers. But I actually prefer the air defense ground units now that they fixed it (As of patch 1.2)

The one thing I like about the eurofighter is that it's great for dodging missiles.

It's super manuverable on the pitch direction, even better than J10.

Does that also aply for pitch up/ pitch down?
I just played again and the S maneuver (2 half loops) worked well to shake off the Mig pilots but it seemed like the plane was very slow doing it. So my only explanation why the Mig pilots still lost sites is that I could fly a tighter loop than them.

Re: How does the Eurofighter compare?

I think it sucks big time. The nose seems to drop constantly when flying low so that you need to pull up which causes the plane to bounce. Terrible handling.
