Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

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.

Rafael F4.1 ~ F5 standard integrated this PGM

it should get the talios/damocles ng something but yeah otherwise for now not great with fix should be more ok.

Someone has already unlocked the Rafale ?

What’s the top speed at ground altitude fully aced?

I just want a FM fix for the Rafale. It turns like a F-4F at low speeds. Even my grandma turns faster at low speeds while flying

I dont understand why they would nerf it. It was already slightly worse then the Typhoon FM. Atleast in my opinion.

I don’t get it either. Maybe because it’s French ?

We can see the same treatment from Leclercs

Don’t attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity. They might just be inept.

Though simultaneously, a sufficiently advanced level of ineptitude is indistinguishable from malice.
