Indeed. On another note, it’s basically fighters have a broad range of A/A capabilities, such as HEA or in the Super Hornet’s case JHMCS. Everything is covered as much as possible.

Yes correct

There’s a reason why Typhoon goes fast during a dogfight, it’s because that’s the best way to fight. Higher speed = better energy. Slower speed = less energy, (depending on power to weight ratio, thrust, aerodynamics, airframe design etc). And it doesn’t always necessarily need reheat to dogfight, for an aircraft that can go supersonic from brakes off in 30 seconds, it pretty much shows that there’s plenty of thrust available – meaning less time can be spent on reheat to save fuel.

Well like i said, “It depends on the pilot/enemy if they’d want to engage in a Highspeed or Low Speed dogfight”. It doesn’t have to always be a Highspeed dogfight.

There’s nothing in Europe that can match the nose authority of the Super Hornet at slow speeds.

…Is pretty much what he just said

Ok thanks, can’t understand that typing. 🙁 Sorry about that

Slow speed maneuverability (handling) is okay if you’re lining up to land on a carrier in the middle of the Pacific in rough weather – but isn’t that useful when you’re up against another air superiority fighter at much higher speeds.

Well i don’t know how to agree on this debate. Super Hornets called a slow speed air superiority plane/dogfighter. It has the best slow speed characteristics for maneuverability in the air superiority arena. I doubt any fighter can go that slow to dogfight like a Super Hornet. Super Hornets challenging plane to fight in the air. But Eurofighter has to go fast to dogfight, meaning it’s afterburners are always on to dogfight the opponent and get the kill. I don’t know how well the Super Hornet can do in a high speed dogfight, meaning don’t know how can it dogfight using afterburners all the time. But in slow speed dogfighting, you’ll have to use afterburners to climb/get energy for the Super Hornet.

It’s quite bizarre to be going slow to dogfight in todays dogfights but mostly dogfights occur with afterburners on and little bit of maneuvering. But i think you need afterburners on to get the kill fast or try to get away and then shoot.

Either way, it depends on the pilot/enemy if they’d want to get in a high speed dogfight or go slow.

But don’t know how WVR engagements will start or don’t know how BVR engagements start.
