Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

yeah rofl, praying the CAPTOR gets completely fixed and RBE2 gets a proper AESA scan mode so we can all be happy

Yeah the RBE2 also needs to ACTUALLy be an AESA radar. It’s fine for it to have crazy AESA space magic too since its MICA’s cant truely benefit from such capabilities in BVR anyway.

Once they fix these two radars we could finally have the F2 for Japan

last time i check too is that its name is RBE2 AESA in game and not the proper RBE2-AA, so they went out of their way to incorrectly name it but still call it an AESA and then not make it an AESA :sob:. i will say it again, and probably a few more times, dev server should’ve been extended to everything could be properly implemented.

Agreed. Dev server should have been longer IMO.

Personally I’d have been fine with December update being skipped entirely if it meant we’d gotten functionally complete jets in, say, January.

It’s also the experience I truly have 99 out of 100 times. I think I’ve notched successfully defeated 2 of the countless MICA’s shot my way

You are doing something wrong if you have a 100% kill zone from the most wretched top tier missile for launches at 10+ km

I know. That is why I am here in this very thread.

MICA’s are a death sentence for me. I just cannot defeat them. Notch, crank, terrain, multipath or whatever, they just do not care it seems. They will always find me, and they always kill me

Micheal always knows where you are… i honestly would love to give more tips but i can only name a few times ive dodged a MICA in something like my Baz Meshupar. i think the best way to defeat it is literally just dont let it get launched at you in the first place.

if you fly at 2+ mach at high altitude, then of course you will be easily shot down. But if you fly at standard speed and you really are shot down by ARL missiles every time, then learn to go into notch

As I said. I have tried notching, cranking, terrain and multipath.
If I do not physically move behind cover such as a mountain, the MICA does not care.

I can reliably defeat PL12, R77 and AMRAAM. The only one I cannot do this to is MICA.

Unless you are at very short range, if you notch you should easily able to evade since it has no range, even more with the AIM-120B that you can launch a lot more earlier than the Mica

Don’t forget to change your course/altitude to not be in the IOG range

Holy hell i just 1v1 a rafale at the end of the match, he literally fired micas point blank (0.7-0.8km) and they track, i think it’s just that you’re in a permanent notch if circle fighting and they always missed by 3-10 meters. If he got some space and managed to fire from >1 km i would have been dead

maybe you have a hidden wish to die from MICA because I can’t explain the fact that you easily deflect missiles that fly further and better than MICA

The very earliest I can shoot AMRAAM is 20km since, and I am not exaggerating here, the radar on the eurofighter is literal trash. It cannot, and will not reliably show any targets over 20km.
Within 20km I have to use HMD PD to find targets.

Spotting currently sucks so I have to do knifefights vs Rafales.

So no, I cannot shoot earlier than a Rafale can currently

It will, it’s just that the targets it shows do not exist at least 50% of the time.

Because, as I previously said, I am FORCED to be in a knifefight because the Eurofighters radar literally does not work. I HAVE to use HMD PD and rely on dot spotting because.

again

The radar on the eurofighter is literal garbage.

I literally missile bus and shoot all my ammrams at 30km even with the shit ass radar, yeah i only get maybe 2 kills out of 6 ammrams but still it puts pressure, ef and rafale aren’t that badly matched, in a 1v1 you can absolutely kill a rafale
