doesn’t change that the R27ER alone was the gaijin solution to balance the Mig29 against the superior F16 during and after Apex Predator, multipath meta or not, i’m talking about the missile not the plane
It is not quite that simple.
The Su-27’s fm was fixed tho? And it was broken cuz they were using the graphs from its prototype (T-10) which is basically a different aircraft accorsing to the Sukhoi thread.
Look at what happens a lot to the mica since it overcorrect a lot.
Issues like that are so common and ruin it.

RBE2 AESA radar on Rafale should have 8 datalink channels

Not for every Rafale.
You realise you would get METEOR & IRIS-T/ASRAAM on Eurofighter at the same time?
Also PL-15 and PL-10.
LOL… you are crazy

You are saying the MICA should have the range of the AMRAAM, while being faster, with thrust vectoring at close range. On a supercruising platform with a radar that’s essentially the eye of God. And you don’t see why they keep it as a short range king instead ?
Its okay if they need to nerf MICA for game balancing but that is what a historically accurate MICA-EM would look like. But then its also okay to get the extra MICA pylon for game balance.

that is like, literally what the MICA is. iirc has a little bit less range

Yes it should. Unlike F15E or EF on same BR, rafale is more speed limited, has SIGNIFICANTLY LESS CMS, is limited to 6 missiles in total where 15E/I can carry up to whopping 8 amraams that would be pretty much equal at range and EF is significantly better in kinematics than rafale while having 6 amraams and 2x 9M on top of that for close in combat.
Mica should be faster only for burn and then shortly after that burn. At BVR launches, it should be equal or worse. Even though design French used for mica comes out of S530D which had significantly better high supersonic drag than something like sparrow. And MICA is waaaaaay thinner and lighter.

They want realism for buffs but never for nerfs, idk why you’re suprised at this point.
If you give me mica that beats amraam A in BVR, take your helmet off however you want. But i want mach 5 Fox3 with extremely good high alt high speed drag and kinematics. AKA - what mica is irl. Not that joke of a stone.

what is there to nerf on the Rafale?
Nothing… it does decently well only because its opposition is braindead and Typhoons radar got absolutely butchered to the ground.
I dont think answering that at this point is a good idea considering past experiences on this thread. Feel free to read previous messagea.
I can almost guarantee you, every single sane person who is not sucker for defyn and that stupid off bore playing in planes supposed to never get close to each other, will take correctly done mica over helmet.
last time i paid attention the general consensus was the Rafale needs anything but nerfs
