Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

the low speed performance feels MUCH WORSE for me right now

I’ll check that out

Yeah, that feels horrendous.

let alone keeping up with the EF, I doubt it can keep up with a F-15 at low speeds. Why did they nerf Rafale’s FM and buff EF’s FM ?

I dont have any sources to confirm. But I dont think the Rafale should have a RWR that can only detect E-J. like How does the SU-34 have a better RWR then one of the most modern 4.5 gen aircraft made by the west.

Correction: The silly camera thing very occasionally looks at your radar target.

The Eurofighter seems to be better at low-speed, high AOA maneuvering compared to the Rafale ingame.
That shouldn’t be correct.

If we’re going off what Spectra can jam, it likely should detect K.

Has more folk bitching, so obviously EFT would be treated better. Even if that isn’t remotely plausible in the face of the aerodynamic features of the designs. Or the fact EFT received an upgrade specifically to address this short coming.

exactly. Rafale should be much better than Eurofighter at low speeds while Eurofighter is better at high speeds.

So basicly Rafale has :

  1. worse loadout than Mirage 2K5F
  2. worse radar than SU-34
  3. worse FM than Eurofighter

what’s the point ?

Shouldn’t the RWR provide 360° coverage too ? I tried in test flight and I don’t receive warnings from directly below and above the plane against the SPAA in the test flight map.

  1. fewer countermeasures than the Mirage 2K5F

It has 1 extra AASM over the 200 RMV XD so at least we have that

Except the 2k has ground radar and the same targeting pod :(

still though, worse loadout and less CMs than Mirage 2K5F, and worse FM than Eurofighter

what’s the point of Rafale ?

It also has a worse RWR then Typhoon. Typhoon has C-J and Rafale E-J.

With how things are going, it might as well have stayed at 13.7, unless they Add more countermeasures / Give it 8 MICAs / Improve its FM

Its fine there are still a lot of changes to come

The CMs are plenty. 8 AAMs isn’t happening except by act of god. The AAMs need to be touched up alongside the FM being improved (and obviously the rest of the sensor suite being unborked)
