Are now R27ET immune to flare? I’m playing with MAW On, this thing emptying all my flares and i still get hit
What aspect are you getting launched at
if its rear aspect you are kinda cooked depending on the distance but you will need to do evasive maneuvers
Side aspect can be tricky sometimes depending on the plane you are playing and your flare pattern
Front aspect always gets flared
Back I presume
Since when are they flare resistant?
a long while but no one uses them?
Not so long ago it was not that flare resistant
They have irccm

imo they were. there has been no changes to the missile i think
If you’re on afterburner and/or extremely fast ETs can track you really good from rear hemisphere. I remember knocking out some F-15s from 10-15km away while they are dropping multiple flares for a good amount of time. Ofc they were usually above 3km altitude and above mach with their engines afterburning.
ET seeker kinda acts like R-73 too, once it is too close you are most likely screwed.
They don’t need to change the drag imo, i’m pretty sure just fixing the MICA’s PID (or whatever makes it wiggle constantly) would provide a decent range increase
Missiles wiggle is related to servers, and this even less problem than MICA’s high drag
The fov of the missile before launch is 2°
When launched irccm reduces the fov to 1.33°
While the DDM-NG has its own range report, the DDM on M2K was reported and currently the Rafale is stuck with Mirage 2000’s DDM range which is also underperforming:

What small caliber flares do to a man
The report will also be applicable for earlier variants of the Rafale which used SAMIR.
Interestingly, according to the manufacturer of DDM, one of the benefits of IR MAWS is that it actually has greater range than radar MAWS; however, the issue with IR MAWS (which is faced by planes such as the Eurofighter) is that it requires considerable computing power. Also interesting is that the Mirage 2000 didn’t suffer this issue - it says something of the great design of the plane more than anything.

EuroBros claiming the BRMs are biased towards the Rafale…
Just submit better reports dude, I’m happy we have some of the best bug reporters working with us to get an accurate Rafale. Maybe someday they’ll find some people like those.

Poor flame. Single handedly carried the main buffs for the EFT and barely any of his report passed

@DirectSupport It’s probably gonna be very difficult to find details like this, but since you guys are quite good at finding stuff about Rafale, perhaps you might be able to find something that shows that this is how it actually works in the Rafale IRL (if it is):
Because I have a feeling that IRL the pilots don’t have to continuously spam the lock key to lock something with the HMD and then accidentally unlock it when they get a lock etc …
Noticed while playing SB that the weapon display is inconsistant, has anyone else come across this?

Not 1:1 this, but with the EF it likes to display the wrong Icons.
Example:
You have 10 Paveways +4 Aim-120 + 4 Sidewinder
It would display stuff like 8 Brimstones, 4 Aim-120, 4 Sidewinder and 2 Paveways.
Dunno if the Rafale has this Issue too
I noticed another and rather critical issue with RBE2-AA yesterday while playing SB. @DirectSupport have you already noticed that when tracking a aircraft, which launches missiles at you and changes course, RBE2 stops tracking the aircraft and instead only tracks the missiles? For some reason TWS ESA stops working often in this szenario even though it should track the aircraft outside the current search volume.
Sometimes the Radar also switches to tracking missiles instead of aircraft on its own.
