It won’t have the same fate. It has LOAL+Datalink+IOG, meaning that you can launch it and guide it in TWS, and itll glide until the IIR seeker locks on. Currently IIR seekers are able to lock onto planes at 8km regardless of if they’re afterburning or not, you can see this with SPIKE and Pars 3 missiles which have IIR and can lock any tank, planes or helis at 8km.
Long story short, you’d be able to launch it in TWS at 40km away in-game, do a 180 running away, and it would hit.
If LOAL is implemented, then I guess ye
Soon i believe.
Glad you’re with us in the need for Rafale.
The sortie enlarge.
İ was always here, you came to the party later.
And? İt doesnt mean anything in slightest.
İ was there when Rafale discussion started on old forum and ever since that i kept following and participating in this discussion.
Then you joined us longer ago as I implied in my first reply. Which is fair enough.
It’s nice we continue to have agreement on things.
We dont.
You claimed that i just joined Rafale community while i basically explained i was already here.
Not the same thing.
I never said you just joined.
In-fact I implied that you could’ve joined us long ago, which includes years.
You even replied to the post.
İn your first post you only said:”Glad you joined us” which basically says you just welcomed me, after that you edited your first post and added new context.
İ mean at least be honest and accept the fact that you made a mistake once buddy, its not that hard.
Dude, not sure why you’re starting an argument with people you agree with…
I’ll keep being honest as always. There’s no mistake in my post tho.
Whatever makes you feel better Alvis…
Dudes, don’t fight on something like that…
Thats why ended the discussion.
İ dont wanna fight on my Favourite French Jet thread.
if anything, it’s still better to have a RBE2 PESA than a RDY. Basically more reliable and a much higher refresh rate (and maybe more scan angles too, but idk about that).
Range on that is a bit limited however, but that’s why RBE2 AESA (2013) exists
Responded in the wrong thread?
no i was avoiding off topic in the Gripen thread, since RBE2 is Rafale’s stuff
scan angles on all fixed phased arrays suck. You get maybe ±60°, but more likely is ±45° before transmission power, and thus range, drastically falls off (scan loss its called). Mechanical radars can somewhat easily get ±70°
on the sides yes, but i was thinking of the vertical scan angles, i’d take ± 45° instead of a 5° slice any day of the week X)
