Eh, it does compress more at high speed. Definitely not as easy to play - the J10C actually handles like the pre FM change M2K - but it’s not bad per se now. I had quite the learning curve to go through but I’d say it actually made it better against things like f16s when you know what you are doing. Definitely not securing a win, but with good energy management it’s very potent

Just learned today that Rafale carries fewer Meteors than Typhoon…
Finally we could take the power back…Gaijin add Meteor now
oh is the rafale more limited in the number of meteors? i expected any mica slot could take them as well
Apparently so 4 Meteors to Typhoons 6 they still have MICA IR and the new MICA
well that would use the wing pylons as well.
Personaly at that point i would take 4 more asraam or iris-t over 2 meteors at that point
Typhoon would probable take 4 ASRAAM and 4 Meteors over 6 Meteors and 2 ASRAAM
And it should still get a bunch of them, I have at least 5 or 6 bug reports to improve the interfaces and the HUD

They already made massive improvements to the HMD for the Rafale, M2K RMV and Tiger.
Now if they could actually model the HMS of the tiger it’d be great.

Yes, in service rafales could have 4 Meteor (and 4 more MICA), since there’s only 4 pylons that have been populated IRL (usually only 2 at a time) with meteors. As for the theoretical, just like the EFT, there are proposition with more total missiles including more meteors. There’s a proposition by MBDA for 6 meteors and 4 MICA on a model during the last euronaval (well 1 meteor was replaced by a SCALP, but on the symmetric hard point it’s another meteor and there was also a nuclear missile in the center pylon but that’s another story)

No no no you are not getting a bug report with a model ha ha or I’m going to pull out the 14 Meteor Typhoon render ha ha

ngl, the rafale would make a fine new nuke carrier at top tier. Jaguar without flares is quite annoying above like 11.0
Nation specific nuke aircraft would be cool, TSR2, Vulcan, Mirage IV

Its too OP
just sum with flares (I’ve never gotten to drop one)
Except that compared to the Typhoon render 10 missiles Rafale is actually a potential consideration for the Rafale F5 thanks to the lift of missile drag issue by upgrading the engines.
Also another change, the RBE2’s 140 degree scan option went from 32 degrees in elevation coverage down to 16 degrees elevation coverage, this now allows for the radar mode to be far more useable in quickly picking up targets.

You understand this is a nerf right? I’m not sure why you’re trying to pass it off as a buff…
This a nerf with a positive effect : First because it’s realistic 140x31 isn’t an option for RBE2 scan paterns afaik. Second because with less air to scan you get more reliable target tracking.

Because the 70x16 was a far more useable option than 70x30 although 70x30 still exists. 140x32 led to detection times taking far too long as that resulted in 14 bars which was now reduced to 7 bars.
