did you? i felt quite bad in SIM but maybe it’s because i’m stock
really hated the radar and HMD being quite confusing in VR but maybe is just me that i have to get used to it

I stock grinded too! Got maw first then went for g suit, engines and mica as fast as possible.
I was struggling a lot at first bc I got overwhelmed by the HMD but once I got used to it and all the info it gave I have no problems using it now.
Just take your time I guess and hopefully you’ll be destroying in the raf soon enough!

I’ve played enough France to find that the missiles tend to be good enough to make up for their lack of numbers though, Super Etendard is one of my best performing high tier jets
They need to fix MICA so much, especially now

I completely agree, the SIM experience with the rafale is amazing thanks to HUD, MFD’s etc. Just one point I would like to improve and I’ll probably submit a report for this, is the wrong unit of the HUD and MFD’s. For the MFD’s radar tilt, the scale is 0 to 25km, so it compresses a lot the distances and make the identification quite complicated. It should be in feet, with a scale from 0 to 45k feet as per seen in this MFD picture :
Also we can see on this HUD picture that the unit should be in feet as well and not km as IG :

Even better! Just wish the speed measurement was in knots instead of km/h, drop bugreport link asap pls.
me and others will upvote asap.
Glad we can agree btw, it is an INCREDIBLE aircraft. SO much fun man.
Does anyone know if the rafale had the ability to deploy 1 chaff at a time or is it stuck with 2 at a time? 56 uses of chaff really doesn’t cut it for top tier, especially with how poor the MICA performs outside of 15km.

That M791 gun sound makes me look forward to getting the Rafale a whole lot

Just SUCH a joy man.
Ultimately this is exactly why players ask for the x8 MICA loadout to somehow compensate in numbers for the lackluster performance of the MICA EM in the game ( advertised as being in the 100km class ). Had the MICA have a ressemblance of competitiveness in BVR over a 5 years older AIM-120A ( with much lower advertised max range ) im sure people would had been ok with x6 .

Mirage 2000C-S5: One of the best planes of its BR, due to its amazing missiles
Mirage F1C: Amazing plane due to amazing Magic II
Super Etendard: Super fun due to Magic I
If the MICA was as it should be, 6 would be more than enough for a proper player, or if every match wasn’t a massive lobby, which we should have gotten forever ago instead of a dysfunctional option

Probably have seen me, I just came back from a 8 month hiatus to this beautiful aircraft along with the gorgeous strike eagle.
Playing a lot these days especially now with raf!
It is definitely worth though, buy battlepass and grind the tree out in sim asap! Good luck!

Is there a range indicator for the target on the HUD like it appeared on the M2k?
I did a dogfight yesterday against the ETF with the M2k in Sim, i got in a 2 v 1, first one was shot down by Mica, the other on after the a face to face merge was literally behind me in 2 second, while i was still hard turning, never saw that
No, it’s missing as well.
Nope. Not even magic seekerhead until its locked. There is bunch of stuff missing on both hud and radar. Iam pretty sure radar should have altitude coverage indication in numbers. Everything gets it, but its nowhere to be seen on radar and that side view aint it, it cant be reliably used with awacs/gci guidance.
2.43.0.14 is currently live.
Anybody care to check if RBE2 now continuously updates tracks?

Is it only me or camera wont slave on radar track, tws or stt… It just looks forward. Both camera and irst should be slaved to radar track, even if irst cant see it or camera track it on its own. It should atleast point at it.
