Mars buddy, I think I found out where you are not clueing in here. The Typhoon is not the best plane for how I fly. I fly to make the best use of the Typhoon's strengths. The plane is the absolute, it is the inflexible aspect of the equation, it cannot change its most basic properties, it's all coded mathematics. Therefore, it is up to the human being to adapt to the plane they are flying because the plane sure as hell isn't going to adapt to the pilot. Human beings are not constrained by any absolutes, human beings can adapt almost infintely to accomodate their environment.
Only a fool would fly a Typhoon the same way as a SpitXVI or vice versa. The style one flies is largely dictated by the plane one flies. When in a turning plane you are primarily looking for planes to turn with, when in a speed plane you are primarily looking for planes to E-Fight.

Zazen, I consider you a fellow friend, good competitor, and quite intelligent! So, in a nice way (until I see you flying the planeset and stop hiding behind Tiff cannons, excuses like the tiff determines that I must perch and lerch, and bullchit of the like), please just stfu with that! I mean if you only fly the typhoon(less the dozen or so other sorties in the last 5 months that you "mixed it up" with F6F, Jug, and pony) and then say the typhoon's flying characteristics make you BnZ and cherry pick, then what you have decided on is your flying style! It's what you do! Don't blame the plane by saying "The typhoon made me fly lame, sir!", just admit that you are lame enough to totally enjoy the BnZ cherry picking style of flying that has become your trademark. The fact that you fly it exclusively tells one that you have chose that style to be yours. I personally don't care what or how you fly, although I will give you an earful when you try to twist what is really happening. Just repeat after me Zazen, I__, Zazen__________, am a cherry-picking________________, boom and zoom______________, Tifftard_________! Now, that wasn't so hard was it?
