what is the trick to shooting that thing down?  it seems like all the other pilot has to do is turn, and no missles will hit.  any tips?

yeah,the Eurofighter is one of the toughest planes to shoot down even with its weird handling.if i remember correctly it has one of the smallest hitboxes.i'd suggest reading the jet guides on this site as they can be very helpful.

Mobile AA.

But in a jet...definitly the MG.

Whenever Im in it, it attracts missiles (I remember you took me down about 6 times before my comp CTD steelie...). Whenever anyone else is in it - it avoids them like no other.

MG rocks, cos it doesnt set off the missile alert and if you get them while they're comin in for re-arm they generally fly straight, take your chance here and don't miss, aim toward the cockpit and the bullets should hit the body of the aircraft and destroy or if you get lucky they'll snipe the pilot out of the cockpit.

Its teh Eurofighter! For real,

Which airshow're you all talking about? (just curious)

IRT I've only flown the Eurofighter once, on Taraba, and i thought 'what the hell is this thing?'. It was rocking left and right, it was diving if i let go of the controls for even a second, and during my one flight, i was following the Mig for a while, and emptied all 6 of my missles (at various times - just after i'd regained my lock after his flares, when he levelled out after a long turn, when he was pulling up to evade me...), and not one of them hit.

Eventually i accidentally flew into the ground. (<--- I'm an expert aviator as you can no doubt tell)

Never flown it again.

It yaws to the right for some reason and is really difficult to control properly, plus I always get shot down in it.

oh yeah, i remember that!   sometimes i can take out the euro easily, other times, i cant even get one shot on it.  i was a on a guy's 6 for a long time, waiting for him to level, as soon as he did, i locked, fired, and watched him bank out of the way of all 6 missles.

Yeah...that was bad Although I did just have my new PC and mouse so I was getting used to it
The only time Ive ever taken down a EF with missiles is if its already smoking and 1 manages to hit or if its flying very slowly in which case it attracts missiles more than an F35 (well, all jets do when flying very slowly I find).

I reckon it depends on your mouse and sensitivity. On my old PC/mouse - it did exactly that. Now, it barely yaws/dips at all when I release the mouse.
Has to be said, DICE did a shit job of sorting out the controls of the thing. But you do see some very good pilots using it.

Low ping = guaranteed hit with missile.

Otherwise use guns and spam a few missiles, one may hit. The thing is before the 1.3 patch most dog fights were with guns. So if you have some experience with that utilize it.

yet another ping related disaster.  the guns seem to be the way to go, but what happens when you're up against someone who actually uses all the views?  i find it quite difficult to stay on the 6 of the euro, it's a squirrely little jet.  the mig just doesn't have the turning radius capable of staying behind it.  i still have a long way to go as far as learning flying skills...

btw, if anyone is repeatedly getting shot down by the linebacker, i guarantee you it's Snake hiding by the hill shed.  go ahead and ram him with your jet, and tell him steelie sends his love
