Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

AASMs are cool because you can loft them from really far away and it looks spectacular. ideally with a friend so that 1 run takes out an entire base

idk what’s wrong with him tbh

Compressor blades are not the only parameter affecting the RCS

I’m not even going to analyze this nonsense.

2m^2 is an acceptable value for Rafale

How dare you, it’s actually 0.000000001m^2

man i really hope they fix IR MAWS. last time i played it still picked up flares and dead bodies :(


found this cool Rudolf picture, thought i would share

AL-Tariq For the F3R when?

did the rafale carry any sort of ecm/countermeasure pods? been playing and dodging countless amraams throughout a match burns through that 100 chaff pretty quick

It has an integrated EW suite with three jammers : one at the rear base of the tail (where a drag chute is located on some other aircrafts) and two front facing at the base of the canards (the black rectangle is the antenna)

However it does not carry chaff/flare pods

Dear baguettes I need some pointers. Full disclosure I am a Eurofighter flyer and there is only 1 jet I am truely scared of, and that is the Rafale. I am NOT calling faul, or BS, or “MICA OP”, or “Nerf Rafale” or any such thing.

I am ONLY summing up my experiences and trying to learn what to do.

I feel like if there is a Rafale close to me theres little I can do. It forces me instantly defensive due to the MICA tracking and correcting so well that if I get out of the notch for just a millisecond it will correct instantly and nail me.

I will just straight up RUN from Rafales if I can but if I do not notice them in time, which happens often because my Radar is just the microwave from the Gaijin HQ lunchroom thrown inside my nosecone.

Dogfights are off the charts because theres 15 of your teammates around who are likely also in Rafales so that leaves me with very little options.

What does the Rafale NOT do? What are its disadvantages? How do YOU struggle against Eurofighters, (if you even struggle with them at all)

Thanks

that is the best counter to the Rudolf lol

now i havent played in about a week, but i think its still probably the same. the main disadvantage is probably just the MICA’s range, being almost locked to 20km and lower. if i had to take a guess the best way to fight it is try your best to stay a decent ways away and just sling RAAMAM’s at it, since the MICA might aswell be a knife.

Just rain from above

Okay, so that’s practically impossible because the Eurofighter radar is actual trash because, I dont know marketing lies or something?

TWS literally doesnt work so I have no standoff capabilites. Those fancy Peugeot Rizzlers you all fly can very easily sneak through.

Okay so till they fix the CAPDUR-L I’ll just try to keep running from Rafales for now.
Thanks m8

AMRAAMS love terrain more than they love hitting Rafales. Top down shots on a Ravioli in the multipath zone will never hit. But thats better than getting 8 MICA’s shot my way so I’ll try that.

“Eurofighter, you get to choose to try to contest F15E’s in BVR with a radar that doesnt work, or you get to try to live in a knifefight with Rifles that have 8 MICAS” Well atleast its possible to defend in BVR

Thanks for the suggestion

its the only real way i could think of countering Rapping paper. since it really only excell’s at those close knife fights.

Yeah, I apreciate it man, dont get me wrong!

It’s just that its very very difficult because of the aforementioned radar issues on the EF2000.
But as I said, its still better than getting 8 MICA deathsticks shot my way
