If flown properly, the F-16 will have a very big challenge against the EF. A lot of F-16 pilots had hard times when fighting in training against UK or German EFs. It is a beast even the F-22 should respect in WVR.

Goes without saying? Also, the Rafale most likely would present an even harder challenge. So, good job on LongShot's part.

Well the EF is jokingly named "plasticbomber" by its and other pilots for the reason it is mostly made out of composite materials and that saves lots weight making it pretty nibel aswell as the comperatibe small size and the delta wing that gives much nose autority soo yeha a real challenge in dog Fights (with a good pilot) Too the Rafael well I dont know enough soo yeha probably also very capable and nibel plane Edit: did same resach on the Rafael well both have a liked history and therfore have pretty similar performance and basically if the The UK and Germany would be OK with reduced top Performance for better Start and landing Performance (aka carrier capebility) France wouldn't have pulled out (ok and other disagreements on the economic/political side) and that leads too same design diffences like canard position and split airintake and less angel on the leading ege of the delta wing all are better for carrier Service that gives the Rafael a small disadvantages like less thrust in high AoA and lower efficiency in higher speeds. And a bit more weight (stronger landing gear a hook etc) sooo if both pilots were on the same level the EF would have a very small advantage (in a fair/even Situation) but the skill difference between humans is biger so in the end the pilot is the part that makes the Deal what is the better plane 😅

I'd bet that if collision on 2:29 happened in real life, you could possibly find pieces of pilot's brains on typhoon's wing after landing.

Weirdly it seems that "Growling Sidewinder" blocked me for saying the following: I don't think the Typhoon's modded flight model is very accurate. The Eurofighter is a pureblood energy fighter, all about speed and energy retention and built to have maximum maneuverability above Mach 1. From what I have seen the flight model seems to make it some nimble knife fighter like the F-16, which it isn't. I've read in a report about the newest version getting "leading edge wing root extensions" that they will improve low speed maneuverability and (quote:) "Give it the knife fight in a telephone booth maneuverability known from the F-16 and F-18." I doubt that the current mod is supposed to be that new version with those wing root extensions. What definitely isn't in the flight model is the real life "Shoot over Shoulder" ability the IRIS-T missiles give the Eurofighter. It doesn't have to dog fight, because it can shoot in any direction, even backwards.

If I remember correctly what I read in a report by an actual former Eurofighter pilot, he managed to defeat a clean F-16 while still carrying drop tanks once.

@@RichelieuUnlimited The EF has the best power to weight ratio of all modern jets (including the F-22) and it was designed to have the smallest possible frontal silhouette, both to reduce the frontal radar signature and to reduce drag, which helps with energy retention. So it is probably no wonder that it outclasses a F-16. Whether it does have the same low speed maneuverability and thus is as good of a dogfighter, that is another question though. It is named after the Typhoon, because its air intakes remind of the intercooler under the nose of the old propeller Typhoon, but from all you hear it is more of a spiritual successor to the Messerschmidt Bf 109. Small, sleek, low drag, limited maneuverability but maximized energy retention and vertical performance. People call it a "4th" or "4+" or "4.5" Generation fighter because it doesn't look as "science fiction" as the F-22 and the F-35, but it definitely does not play in the same league as actual 4th Generation jets. It is every bit as advanced and sophisticated as a F-22, just that it's main gimmick isn't stealth, but it is designed to be the best at dodging incoming missiles. It being the only fighter jet that has a gimballed AESA radar gives it unprecedented Cranking angles. It can Crank and Notch at the same time. And it is designed to have maximum maneuverability at speeds between Mach 1 and 2, which is the speed spectrum at which jets have the biggest advantage over missiles and its Super Cruise ability allows it to stay in that speed envelope as long as possible. Considering that "BVR" air combat remains a largely unproven concept and stealth is a gimmick that will probably be blunted by longer range FOX 2 missiles and better radar technology, I would even go as far as to say that the Typhoon is probably the best overall fighter jet in service today.

@@TrangleC Thanks for that. It's about time we had a part british machine on here that isn't or always seems to be subservient to the american fighters. Even Longshot said as much about the fighting characteristicof the EF. You don't usually get that from GS.

@Divest46 6 ай бұрын

@@TrangleC Every country that was involved with the development of the Eurofighter has procured the F-35. If the Eurofighter had any merits then the US would have returned the favor and procured the Eurofighter for their own air force.

The current typhoon is by every measurable metric superior to the F16. The aerodynamic mod kit just makes it even better.

The difference I saw. The first few rounds when he flew vertical you already lost your speed and went vertical which made you slow way down. The last round you kept your speed up and didn't have the same issue at all. Nice video.

A respectful question. Would a sparingly rare use of the speed brakes help to force the opponents overshoot? Pop thebrakes open, more engine thrust then close them quickly.

Problem with F16 is that you always have to stay fast, which means that when you have your opponent in front, if you manage to do that btw instead of being defensive all day because you cannot do one circle fights, you also have one chance to kill him because you have to be fast too in order not to fall into a one circle contest if you fail that one only gunning run. I don't get why som many people like F16. F18 always was the better, much better plane.
