Typhoon in Military Tycoon — Explosive Minigun, Lock-On Missiles, Value & Trading Guide

What is Typhoon?

Typhoon, also called the Eurofighter in older documentation, is an event aerial vehicle originally obtainable during the 2022 Eurofighter Event. The older Military Tycoon Wiki describes it as a Fighter-class aircraft with an explosive minigun and six missiles.

Do not confuse this aircraft with the Typhoon submarine, which is a separate naval vehicle.

Release and Eurofighter Event

The Military Tycoon Wiki lists the Typhoon jet release date as 12/11/2022. Because the Wiki uses a numeric date without spelling out the month, this page keeps that exact documented format rather than guessing whether it means November 12 or December 11.

The aircraft was obtainable through the 2022 Eurofighter Event and has returned in later instances.

Explosive Minigun

The primary weapon is an Explosive Minigun with 85 rounds. The Wiki describes it as aimable through 360 degrees and having a fast fire rate.

The current value tracker is less positive about its damage, calling the explosive machine gun weak by modern standards.

Six lock-on missiles

Typhoon also carries 6 missiles. The Wiki says they can lock onto aerial vehicles.

The downside is damage: both the Wiki and current tracker describe the missiles as weak compared with stronger aircraft.

Base stats

The older Wiki documents:

• Base Speed: 128;
• Base Health: 1.76K;
• Total Base Damage: 5.43K;
• Vehicle Type: Aerial Vehicle;
• Vehicle Class: Fighter;
• Buildable: No.

Rarity: why sources differ

Your current in-game card labels Typhoon as Legendary, and the current value tracker also suggests Legendary.

The older Military Tycoon Wiki page is filed under an Epic category. This likely reflects an older classification, so this guide uses the current in-game Legendary label while preserving the historical discrepancy.

What the supplied stat card shows

Your screenshot confirms:

• Name: Typhoon;
• Rarity: Legendary;
• Card category: Fighter Stats;
• Damage: low;
• Health: low;
• Speed: moderate;

Advantages

The Wiki lists several practical strengths:

• aimable machine gun;
• missile lock-on;
• decent Speed;
• historically easy to obtain during its event.

Disadvantages

The same Wiki and the current tracker agree that Typhoon is now heavily outclassed:

• only 85 minigun rounds;
• weak missiles;
• Typhoon-X is superior;
• many anti-air vehicles can destroy it quickly;
• modern meta aircraft outperform it.

Current Typhoon value

The latest tracker lists Typhoon at approximately 1.6K–1.8K Gems.

• Demand: 6/10;
• Scarcity: 3/10;
• Functionality: 2/10;
• Trend: Rising slowly;
• Suggested rarity: Legendary;
• Collector Item: No;
• Tradable: Yes;
• Special: Yes.

Typhoon vs Typhoon-X

The Wiki explicitly describes Typhoon-X as the better variant. Typhoon-X has stronger base stats, more missiles and a 360-degree machine gun setup.

If you are choosing purely for combat, Typhoon-X is the stronger aircraft. Standard Typhoon is more useful as an inexpensive starter / event fighter.

How to use Typhoon in PvP

1. Keep the minigun on target

The 360-degree aimable gun is one of the aircraft's most useful traits. Make the most of it before the limited 85-round magazine is empty.

2. Use missiles for finishing pressure

The missiles lock on but are weak. They work better as supporting damage than as your only source of DPS.

3. Avoid strong anti-air

The Wiki specifically warns that most anti-air vehicles can destroy Typhoon. Do not hover or make predictable passes around defended ground positions.

4. Treat it as a starter fighter

The current tracker calls it a decent starter plane. It is inexpensive enough to be useful without pretending it competes with the newest Limited Edition or Super fighters.

Is Typhoon worth keeping?

For gameplay, it is basic but usable. Functionality 2/10 shows how far the meta has moved since 2022.

For trading, the 1.6K–1.8K value, Demand 6/10 and Rising slowly trend make it a small but active Legendary trade item.
