Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Its going to be even worse when we get F18C and SU-30. It will be the worst top tier jet and even if we get F4.1 it might not change.

10 of the best fox 3 that we have in game

Why dont we just get the 72 small countermeasures that would be so much better

and slow with an mid fm

Some people here still believe that having only 6 mica will make gaijing buff the Mica

It really wouldn’t.

It would for ground RB and Squadron battles and it would also be really nice for air RB.

Well Rafale has less incorrect with its flight model.
It’s largely drag and sustained turn.

Again, it wouldn’t. You’d get 36 pops of notably less effective flares, vs 32 far more effective countermeasures.

32 flares is nothing, The rafale is awful in BVR and you will have to go for dogfights or engage at medium ranges, where you are highly vulnerable to IR missiles. You cant conserve flares effectively either, as its often unclear whether the enemy has launched an IR missile or an ARH one

wait, they didnt give it 72x normal flares? It should have had them as option atleast

So like. We have this thing called an RWR, tends to give you a warning on an ARH launch at which point you can fire chaff. If it is not giving you an ARH warning, you can fire flares. They are large caliber, you don’t need that many.

Against 9M, you need volume, not strenght. And preflaring works fine against R73 or magic II

The Rafale currently lacks a 360 RWR and in dogfights, the enemy is often in its blind spot
Forgot to mention the endless RWR pings from enemies and missiles that arent even close to you

Trying really hard not to be condescending, but you really don’t need many flares to defeat a 9M. Especially not on a platform with such good agility.

Looks at Italy

Can we get a TWS fix cause seriously what is that ?

AESA radar acting honestly… worse than a Su-27SM’s
