Thats not what i meamt. Even aesa has to sweep to find stuff with directed beam.
On top of that, there is massive bug in wt more than doubling refresh speeds of radars.
It takes eternity on rafale to scan 70*30. You can literally sneak under it with how long it takes.
Like the F16AJ ? Like the double pylon Su-27SM ? Like the Mig29 flight model ? Like the entire F16 family flight model ? Like the EFT’s radar ?
We have so many example at this point that Gaijin is just doing whatever they want, I’d think you guys would be used to it at this point. XD
Right, it has 14 vertical bars of scanning I think in the current live version of it. It takes a while to do a full sweep (IIRC full period is 7 seconds), but it’s still excellent at keeping track once it sees a plane. And this is the only plane with a 31° sweep at the moment which is itself an advantage. Grinding with the Mirage yesterday I was going crazy at the 3° vertical angle of the TWS since it’s so easy to sneak under it.
I think the 70x16° right now is the best pattern outside of the early game with Rafale. I’ve yet to play it in Sim tho ! My opinion might change after that.

Not entirely thrilled about the countermeasure change. Large caliber was preferable over what we ended up with. As well as not outside the realms of reality given the particular system and its function, from my brief reading. Could have at least given us a modification to choose.

Unlikely to change, initial opinion for sim seems to be that its cracked. I might even go so far as to say its likely the best air to air plane in sim period, tho I do not have the plane and have yet to play sim against it, just conjecture from what ive heard from others and what the plane has as tools.
The only real problem i could see in sim at this point is that its rather poor at objective gameplay in a multirole capacity.
The issues with the low flare count and only 6 micas have both been resolved as well which were the literal only “problems” id heard raised about it, and even then they were considered minor due to how good the MICA is and how dominant the Rafale as a package is in WVR.
i’ve finished a SIM literally now.
yes the 70x16 is the best pattern right now
From what ive seen on reddit vast majority of people are happy with 8 micas and its not like gaijin made up 8 missile loadout so its not inaccurate and theres still an option to take 6 micas

Did I say I supported any of gaijins actions on those aircraft? I don’t. They are fake and made up by gaijin, I don’t want that.
I last looked at that a day ago, so I will have to update my data later. The 8 MICAs are entirely fake, unless the Rafale in game cannot fire the missiles and is missing a vast portion of its avionics it does not represent any Rafale to ever exist, so is thus fake.

The Rafale we have in game never existed
Its literally what dassault built… they have plane with 8 AA missiles. They proposed it to AdA but AdA never bought it.

Afaik the pylons used by the SP3 that was only used in service on F4 worked since the F3R anyway. So regarding avionics and elecctronics 8 MICA on an F3R is not false. It’s only false in the regard of what has been put into service and what hasn’t.
The plane they built missed significant amounts of avionics and was not combat capable, thus it does not represent the Rafale in game which is combat capable.
If they changed the name to F.4.1, changed up the IRST and added the AASM 1000 it would be a real thing
I think he was referring to the C01 prototype, which was missing significant avionics
does the mirage 2000 5f have UAE or greek roundels?
No i talk about late F3s… they literally have ability to carry outer pylons… AdA never bought the capability.
India did so they got outer pylons.
Change it to an Indian Rafale, nice and realistic than.
They just didn’t purchase the pylons but the capability is here in terms of avionics.

In any way. How can people be so dramatic about 2 pylons that are semi-historical when paper vehicles exists in game or some still under testing protos like 2S38 are in game.
