Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Okay some people really are surprising. I have no clue why my post was hidden, I was just saying that imo, the things that make the SU27 competitive in dogfights is the AOA, HMD and r73 combo. Remove the r73 and there’s not a lot of top tier (13.0-14.0) aircraft’s that it can beat.
F15E, probably F16C but not A, that’s mostly it. Eurocanards demolish it, the Chinese one as well

name a flight model that’s worse than the Su-27 at top tier (Apart from the F-15E). Aircraft like the Su-27SM or anything carrying the Derby or similar R-Darter are made pretty much irrelevant against a rafale

Su-30 (xD)

bruh. However that can compete with the rafale (my point into using flight performance for my arguement) due to its R-77-1 and very strong radar

You said to name one FM that’s worse than teh Su-27 at top tier and I did

Plus I was being sarcastic

Tho its weaker engines do put it at quite a disadvantage

The r77-1 are really nice i cant deny that
But to be truly honest with you i would have preferred to get another su 27 with a better radar and the r77-1 even if i can’t get 12 of them
The su 30 is such a bus i hated the grind and having played both su 30 and su 27 i would pick the su 27 any day of the week or even a j11b even though it gets less missiles at least it gets maws which helps with situational awareness
Oh and the tvc on the su 30 such a pain in the ass i wish you could disable it

This thread is about the Rafale, not the Su-30. However, for russia the 30SM is the only plane they have that stands a chance against a rafale

Tornado F3 Late if it gets Aim-120C5s and moves to 13.7

the F.3 Late carried ASRAAMs too right?

Yeah. But that might be too much of a bump

true, come to think about it I don’t think britain ever used 9Ms with the RAF or navy

Cough

How is it that I open the Rafale thread and this is what I see.

we were talking about how top tier FMs are inadequate to combat the rafale

Eh… conversation has been about the Su-27 for the past 2 days

that too

Then let’s move it back to the Rafale. Thank you.

Rafale is just crazy in game.
