It has better T/W ratio compare to C model.
New engine provides 1+ T/W in any load out.

The Gripen is a light single engine fighter, obviously it wasn’t gonna hold up against the EFT or Rafale except in cost really
Actually it does, especially NG and E model, but this is Rafale thread so let’s not derail it anymore.

Ok, that’s good. Because I was getting a bit worried there.
Just so you know, I like the Gripen a lot :p
It’s Gripen > EFT > Rafale for me in terms of the Eurocanards.
I don’t dislike the Rafale at all, the Eurocanards in general set a high bar, and I have difficulty choosing lol.

i mean clearly the Typhoon is better on paper and in practice
Both Rafale and Gripen equal favourite, depends on the day as to which I favour most so decided I like them the same.

PIRATE is the IRST system right?
The thing that serves no purpose in WT currently other than being a gimmick, especially in the post-HMD era; however that’s not an opinion relating on whether Typhoon should get it or not.
If Tranche 2 equipped it IRL, sure it should get it; otherwise I’m not losing sleep over a feature most players won’t use.
And yes, I’m not against prototype systems losing IRST, cause coincidentally the things with IRST either don’t have uncaged weapons or have HMD/S systems.
So will the Rafale lose the HMD on the live server?
I would be disappointed if that happens.
It would be incredibly annoying, given the thing was trialed with it but logistics. If they want to remove it, then they really should remove it from the F15s, F16s, etc.

Rafale>Gripen>EFT for me i Like the rafale the more and consider it the best both in look and capabilites, then the gripen
because i like it concept of a lightweight cheap home defence fighter and i find it look cool, then last the EFT mainly because i find it ugly, very capable air superiority fighter but lacks in other department.
No. No one has supplied sources that Rafale F3R can’t use HMD.
Partially cause HMD was at least tested with the previous version of Rafale.
but but but it was only tested !!! that doesnt count !!! shake my smh
I’ve always imagined the rafale and typhoon to be sidegrades to one another rather than saying X is entirely better (despite me liking the typhoon more but thats off topic :3 )

uhm did i say something wrong? i was dramatizing on purpose if that was the case
The lastest datamine roll back to Rafale C F3-R and lose features F4 standard (Scorpion HMCS, GMTI, MICA NG and 8 MICA)
I don’t mind if gajin decompressing battle rating to 14.3 and magic 2 replace with MICA IR
Removed helmet mounted display from F-15E only
well if thats the case we are fucked, the plane din’t look to be in good spot already but without hmd it will be simply thrash
François LEMAINQUE said that it is only on the A variant, and then remove since de C variant came out.
Datamine never said HMD removed.Stop spreading fake news.

What is the matter with the arrest hook?
I’m just wondering the latest datamine only.
