F-22 Pilot on Flying the Typhoon

[C3PO]

Forgive if already posted, but this is a great video on the comparison of a US Raptor pilot flying the Typhoon. Power to weight better than the F-22, but biggest negative was the radar (which he understandably didn't go into):

Good bits at 18:10 onwards.

The F-22's radar, being an AESA radar, certainly has way better detection and low observability than the traditional Captor radar of the EF. The Captor-E in the newest EFs, which is also an AESA radar, should close that gap somewhat. The one thing where the EF's radar is actually better than the Raptor's is off-boresight capability, which is significantly better than in the Raptor, but this theoretical advantage is easily compensated for by the Raptor's stealth characteristics and superior high altitude supercruise abilities, especially assuming that both aircraft are deployed in pairs at least.

Typhoon's close in off boresight ability is also pretty smart, and has suprised some in the merge. Having an HMD is an advantage over F-22, although I believe that fleet is getting or has by now recieved Scorpion (yes, the same as in the DCS A-10C II module).
