Su-30MkI shoups go to Britain when they add it.
Britain has the Indian tech tree. Su-30 it is Indians premier combat aircraft and they operate a huge number of them.
As a French main you will receive an F-35 from the Dutch air force. Thats how sub trees work.
Rafale should have come with it’s PESA Radar.
Then it would have been balanced.
It has the best short/medium range missiles
The best Radar
The Best ground attack muntions for a none dedicated strike aircraft. Fnf is far superior to Brimstone laser guidance.
An amazing flight model
8 ARHM loadout.

Rafale having an AESA Radar just means Russia and USA will receive jet with AESA and watch the Rafale player count dwindle when that happens
Short, not medium. That’s the AIM-120A/B.

Medium is within 15/20km. If we say long range is 40-50 km MICA on Rafale is lethal within that 15km
120 is too easy to defeat.
It doesnt pull the G off the rail the MICA does.
And the Rafale can sit in the notch with the HMD and the MICA amazing TVC.
The MICA is only good at 10+km when the target doesn’t manoeuvre or it dives on the target, and not pulling as well of the rail means absolutely nothing at those ranges.

Same with the 120.
Everyone thinks the 120 is op its really easy to defeat
I have a small question, if a DGA document is not enough to prove values, what do you need? A classified manual? A letter from Dassault Aviation to certify the values?

You said “PIRATE has never had a MWIR sensor”. I thought “I sure I’ve seen something saying it did at some point” and quickly pulled up an image I had kicking around, then got on with my life (believe it or not I do actually have better things to do than stare at this forum all day). I’m sure you would love for it to be some grand conspiracy, but I’m sorry to say I really didn’t put that much thought into it.

It has the same exact seeker as the MICA and all other non AIM-54 variant ARHs. It is also a lot harder to outrun than the MICA.

MiCA accelerates faster
Pulls more G
It is superior in short to medium range
And the meta for fox 3 did not change, amram are still on top.

If you are dying to a 120 launched at 50-40km thats on you.

Did i said that, you should read again ? don’t assume things and it looks like you have no clue what i was talking about, you should not begin to be annoyed that mica works differently than aim120 when you can’t use the advantage that brings the aim 120 by forcing people to play defensively when launched and letting you have a better position.

As long as you don’t get barrel stuffed dodging the MICA is the exact same process as dodging an AMRAAM.
It is…however at closer ranges the 120s lethality drops off
The Rafale HMD MICA combo dominates short to medium range.
You guys are very quick to dismiss the massive advantages you have.
If you ever player the mirage 2k5f, you would have seen, that you could not even fight back aim 120 carrier before and had to play low all the time, the only difference between before where no one whined about it is that the Rafale has a good airframe, sure the hmd help but you could talk about many more missiles like r77 or other russian missiles that could pull a lot of g directly at the launch and are in lower tier for the capability you are talking about.

The increase in performance between the Rafale and the 2000 is significant.
The Radar also is a massive upgrade.
A 2000 in close range was deadly the perfect brawler
The Rafale with its increased performance is deadly in the medium to short range.
R-77 is also a very good missile and we will see that when the Su-30 and its PESA/AESA radar is added to the game.
No, I never said it wasn’t good in short range, I just said that this
Is incorrect as the MICA is quite literally the same if you don’t get barrel stuffed.
