RAM coating on the Rafale tho ?
please make the range from the rafale radar and the speed also the tws does not scan almost anything the mirage 2000-5f has a better radar in scan :)
Gripen E doesn’t have stealth features? SAAB didn’t really bother with it on account of the rate of radar advances and the cost of development/maintenance. Gripen E carries a very potent EW suite though to jam most systems tracking it, but that still isn’t exactly a reduced RCS.
SAAB didnt bother with low RCS but they just happened to make a low RCS design. Airframe itself being small also helps.
Yeah, but it doesn’t beat out Rafale’s reduction measures, from what I’ve read. Possibly if Rafale is laden it comes out very similar, but I am not entirely informed on that aspect. But it also doesn’t really matter all too much in the long run, as both platforms benefit far more from their ECM suites than any low observability/reduced RCS aspects.
It probably depends on view aspects since stealth isnt some fixed value but from the front JAS39 is probably smaller on radar than Rafale or EFT.
ECM is another huge factor but we gotta wait quite some time for that I think.
We really should have seen the beginning of trying to simulate ECM with platforms like this tbch, given it is a very integral part of these systems.
Low speed turn are the worst way to defend against Aim120. If you’re below 800kmh in top tier, you’re an easy target. If the Aim120 don’t murder you, the Aim9M will.
It’s way way more important to keep up speed while notching. It’s why the Soviets are struggling so much at the moment (at least until they fixed the Su-27). If you lose all your speed dodging one missile, you are a sitting duck for the rest of them. Keep speed up, notch Aim120 while closing the gap and use HMD to send an off-bore MICA while defending. It’s by far the most effective use of the Mirage, and Rafale simply does it better.
Any folk found a way to get the targeting camera view thing to consistently point to the thing I’m locking up from tws? Also, it’d be nice if it’d point to the thing currently selected from the TWS mode but not locked.
Also, is the voice rubbish correct being English?
your reply makes sense but it’s also problably about my playstyle, cuz I had way more success baiting people into a low speed turn fight, I can just fire off bore micas at my opponent, and anyone attempting to join or passing by
Both approaches work. Some people just think their approach is the right one and anything else is heretical.

I have to ask though, how do you bait them into a dogfight? and how do you do it far enough from the usual furball?
from my experience, people launch a fox3 at you and move on, most times not waiting for kill confirmation.
this is a real question (but a bit offtopic, sorry about that)
also im talking air RB here, maybe you arent
There’s some changes to the radar and RWR in the latest datamine (see here https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1hg9z68/242026_243010_part_2_20241216/), I’m not sure what any of this means however.
i’m pretty sure the RWR is now covering the plane 180° at least now.

how do you guys read this without it being blocked by the MASSIVE RWR monitor in the middile ?
2.42.0.26 → 2.43.0.10 Part 2 (2024-12-16)
We are on 2.43.0.14 already, you should check that instead
You can change the display of the screens, either via the menu that you display with the Y key on the keyboard or by designating a particular key
thanks
superresolution?
@WaretaGarasu Is there any chance that the position of the stock Mica will be changed ? Because it is slightly unfair compared to other planes.
