Cope early game, destroy late if you survive
Raf really isn’t it at top tier anymore, it gets pinned by long range missile spam, which means most of the game u are on the run/ in def.
You missed it really, before everyone had AESA it was king, now, while I still do OK in it it takes so much more effort to use than the other better jets like the EF. Id use something else to learn TT in TBH.
You have the worst BVR performance out of all 14.7s, you are thee best at missile jousting. Still very competitive, worse than the SM2 but in the hands of a competent it’s the second best 14.7 maybe on par with typhoon.

MICA-EM is not the best missile for beyond-visual-range fighting, at best maximum of 13.00 Km. It doesn’t have the most amount of missiles so you also need to be conservative in who you lock and launch a missile at and what distance. Ground hug/multipath is the most obvious tactic with this plane; taking advantage of gaps, using the agility and acceleration in your favour, flanking routes and ambushes is, in my opinion, the best way to play Rafale (both variants C F3 and M F3-R).
