Says the biggest Rafale fanboy on the planet.
America players are a major contributor to the BR difference
I love how you ignore the platform not being able to do good WVR combat as compared to Typhoon…

Will the addition of the AIM-120D be only for the new aircraft coming to the US, or as an addition to existing top tier US aircraft as well? Thank you.

Im not denying the AESA Eurofighter being better. However the standard one isnt, that radar is pathetic
WVR is still mostly just missile jousts, which the Eagle will be able to do more of.
I might be wrong; I haven’t gotten to playing the F-15C GE, but it looks reasonably balanced. The 14.7 jets seem much better. I think an an argument can be made that it is the best 14.3, but it isn’t much better than the Gripen E or non-AESA Eurofighter. And in terms of flight performance, it gets beaten by most 14.7 and 14.3.

What’s the problem with liking the Rafale, is it a crime? Or is it because it’s French?
I don’t deny that American players suck, probably more than any other playerbase, but the AESA Typhoon is undoubtedly better than the F-15C GE in every way.

F15C GE has more countermeasures and better energy retention
USA and UK can each get Beaufighters. France can get a weird jury rigged B26 Invader with radar and two double .50 underwing gun pods.
only the first one is true

Its baffling how people talks so confidently about planes without even touching the most primitive version of it.
The Eurofighter has less CMs (still 300+), but it has better energy retention, better acceleration and better instantaneous turn.

this has already been answered here.
The AESAphoon just being considerably better than the 15C GE is an even more major contributor.
But I know some British/German/Italian mains (Morvran especially) don’t want to admit that the AESAphoon is almost a plane with trainingwheels almost as much as the Rafale.
Not to even mention the much better RWR and MAW on both EFTs and much better radar on the AESAphoon.
Its brilliant dont get us wrong. Its just not pumped with fake buffs like the rafale is (other than AESA before the RAF, Luftwaffe and Italians have properly adopted them)
being able to carry 12 amraams to lob at people gives 4 more chances of BVR kills than the eurofighters 8. 50% more chances that one decides to work today before throwing out tons of chaff on the way back to the airfield to resupply.

Unfortunately it’s not something that is talked about enough. Typhoon has a lot going for it that makes it very forgiving such as the best flight model while also being just a bit behind the Rafale in instantaneous turn, tons of countermeasures, and the second best radar in the game after the Su-30SM2 in terms of situational awareness.

It’s not even close though, Typhoon blows the F-15C GE out of the water in terms of energy retention.
Typhoon at -1200 SEP and -600 SEP has better turn rates than the F-15C GE’s -1200 SEP line which is more on par with the Typhoon’s -300 SEP line.

Where because I havent seen it besides for the Eurofighter.
That doesn’t answer my question, hence my asking. He denied eurofighters, so he can deny or confirm mine
Yeah it isn’t talked about enough. I think part of the reason is also because every time you try to go against the EFT suffers agenda and say that the EFT doesn’t need buffs, a certain someone borderline jumps you with a knife.
