Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

You probably know this.

On the lower forward section of the fuselage just behind the intakes, are those 2 black things with the silver circles meant to be black or green?

Are you referring to the rafale as great at BVR? It is a rat plane, same with the 5F, but it is one of the worst planes to decide to do BVR in.

Apparently they are black since F2 Rafales

Interesting.

Aesthetically, green was nicer.

MICA EM kills from 35km seem pretty frequent if you get high and fast.
Gripen has the R-Darter which if shot at anything over 10km is a wasted shot.

That’s like saying the R-77 gets consistent kills at that range, which it doesn’t

We just gonna ignore the performance of aim120 that means a BVR shot with a MICA is a death sentence or what? Even assuming the target doesn’t move enough for MICA to have enough energy to connect.

Also, you can’t kineticly throw the MICA in the rafale like other planes, the rip speed is quite bad, and with its already bad drag characteristics I wouldn’t be throwing them past maybe 25 km

I have been killed by MICA EM shot from Rafales at 30km I have also been killed by MICA EMS shot from 3km. The jet does everything and it’s getting buffed daily.

R-77 is a far better missile than an R-Darter and the jets that carry them can take 8-10 of them?

idk if you saw my previous message replying to you on this topic, the demonstrators front sensors are still green

Amraam is the best missile no doubt

Shame I don’t like the livery, would have rathered the black rafale, but at least still got green on something \o/

You could say the same about so many custom loadout you can make in game being “not combat proven” completly irrelevant argument

i do think its a little silly all the EFT’s got 2 camo’s while the Ralph got a single yet there are so many unique demo camo’s for it

could we refer to Wareta and just stop arguing on the topic of whatever you guys are arguing on. please and thank you!

Spectra has no DIRCM

You have to be failing on so many levels to get killed by a MICA at those ranges

Even if you agree with the less popular side of the argument, not going to get anywhere. Instead, we should complain about the lack of options with the countermeasures.

Even 77 is more consistent than MICA at >15km range (Not saying MICA won’t connect at this range), in my experience.

No? I never said people shouldn’t want 8 MICAs, just that it never existed and thus not a depiction of any Rafale to ever exist. It’s fine if you want to play with 8 MICAs.

So now we both know each others stances, referring to the post above I will no longer continue this and I recommend you do the same. Have a good one.
