new jet, bad allignment?

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

the Euro fighter is like flying a damn tank... its heavy as hell and moves for ****. Same thing with the chopper though, its like theres no control over it.

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

It seems to me that the new maps are highly imbalanced with the massive air superiority the MEC seem to have :p.

Helis and Planes are far better on MEC side you cant seem to move without getting bombed or torn in half by the particle cannon on the mec.

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

IMO the Eurofighter is not anywhere near more "agile" than any of the other jets including the bombers, Taraba Quarry is a good place to test that out, fly the E.F., get out and then fly the F15....huge difference the F15 feels like a friggin F16 compared to the Eurofighter

I'd say they should tweak it but well you know how Dice is at that........

You are nuts or just dont know what you are saying. I've not lost a battle against any Migs yet, and shot down quite a few good pilots in the little time i've played in Eurofighter.

F15 has horrible turning and cant shoot down anything if the enemy knows what they are doing.

Eurofighter > Mig

No good pilots must have been piloting the EU jets. The Eurofighter tears any of those jets up, I'd like to see how it would do against a J10

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

Here is some info about why its so unstable and I think DICE did a great job of recreating that instability in the game, especially when going after ground targets:

"Eurofighter Typhoon has a foreplane/delta configuration which is, by nature, aerodynamically unstable.

The instability of the aircraft is derived from the position of a theoretical “pressure point” on the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. This is calculated from the contribution to lift from each of the aircraft components (the wings, the canards, fuselage etc). If the pressure point is in front of the centre of gravity on the longitudinal axis, the aircraft is aerodynamically unstable and it is impossible for a human to control it.

With the Eurofighter Typhoon, in subsonic flight the pressure point lies in front of the centre of gravity, therefore making the aircraft aerodynamically unstable, and is why Eurofighter Typhoon has such a complex Flight Control System – computers react quicker than a pilot.

When Eurofighter Typhoon crosses into supersonic flight, the pressure point moves behind the centre of gravity, giving a stable aircraft.

The advantages of an intentionally unstable design over that of a stable arrangement include greater agility – particularly at subsonic speeds - reduced drag, and an overall increase in lift (also enhancing STOL performance)."

That's great and all, but it has NOTHING to do with why the plane pulls to the right and down constantly, 100% of the time you are flying it.

Also, what you described is found in nearly all aircraft being produced today, it's called fly-by-wire. The F-117, B2, F-22 all use this mechanism for the exact same reason/purpose. And it still doesn't explain why the plane pulls to the right/down.

You cant hit the eurofighter with the mig missles....it is unstoppable the missles do not connect from the mig...and its like the EF has magic missles or something that connecteverytime including the hardest turn the mig can make.

I wasnt getting any alignment issues ,or pulling.

I noticed that aswell, it is worse than the J-10. I was throwing all 5 missiles off at it while it was flying straight and they all missed everytime.

I've also had no problems with the plane not handling correctly, other than it feeling like a bomber.

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

Yep now we need the EF vs J-10 ...So I guess we can prepare for PW video campaign now :laugh:

Hmmm dont know, but I dont get that when I release my hand off joystick. Its very sensitive when targeting ground troops with the guns and it will go up and down alot though. Its hard to target, but will take practice thats all.

Yep, the forward weight of the Eurofighter makes it turn harder than the Mig....It feels as tho the jet will "pull" itself in a turn and feels sorta like a car hitting the hand brakes doing a hard turn in a skid.

Not really, as the J10 goes faster and will not only make you miss every missile shot, but if they are good, will get out of your field of vision and escape in no time because of its speed.

I dont think planewhore would like the Eurofighter or this booster pack because it is MUCH harder to get a huge score. If he flies Mig, he is vulnerable so he wont be good anyway. If he flies the Typhoon, attacking ground troops is very hard work. Is it just me or is the cannon on the Typhoon weak??? I've shot at some AA emplacements but they dont blow up. But I would shoot at Linebackers and they would blow up

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

Mmmm more than willing to listen to one of the best pilots out there.

I didn't really have a problem with it pulling to the left or right but found it very hard to stay with MIG's from a speed POV, how did you cope with that?

I can cope with it's shakes etc but I thought the Eurofighter could hit Mach1 without afterburners i.e. was dam fast. Perhaps it was too powerful then.

Re: new jet, bad allignment?

All i can tell you when Mig is going fast is to use afterburner alot
