The Growler still plays a major role as well.
yeah it plays a major role in the american fleet because it’s able to defend itself and others aircraft, most of which are not able to completely protect themselves. The Rafale however is the only (modern) aircraft in the french fleet, so protecting itself is enough. It’s just about choice, americans have a large variety of aircraft so they opted for specialized SEAD while the french have a single airframe so they didn’t need to have a specialized plateform
Sensor fusion could be apocalyptic it’d allow Rafale to make shots on aircrafts that are on it’s tail

EF guys like…Yo Rafales want to share some of that sensor fusion?..
Cries in CRAPTUR-M

We will have to see how they implement it.
It could range from being negligible to outright gamechanger.
We’ll see what they do
Although DASS doesn’t care if the M or E are installed, both radars get sensor fusion - it was installed on the T1 block 3. Radar doesn’t really matter. The EW system manages it, taking in all sensors and compiling them.

They do but we have a barely functioning Radar and DASS.
It would be a massive boot to the baws if Gaijin increase Rafales sensor fusion while leaving the Typhoon in it’s current state.
The more likely option would be to have one RWR/EW interface that combines each sensor (RWR, MAW, LWR) instead of having 3 different one.
In my opinion, sensors fusion is in quotes and the Spectra has been relisted because it is an upgrade meant to better match how the system presents its output.
Its going to be interesting to see how they implement sensor fusion in-game. Im curious to see if they’ll just make it so that certain sensors can cue other sensors (like locking radar targets using RWR) or if they’ll allow weapon employment as well.
I doubt they’ll allow over the shoulder missile shots using LOAL using it for the time being though, seeing as thatd make the Rafale even more broken than it already is, being the only jet in-game with a missile capable of such acts atm, granted it wouldnt be the first time gaijin did something incredibly stupid.

I find the European fratricide quite entertaining.

Its honestly disturbing how elitist you are.
As for the comments about the EFT not being able to shoot over the shoulder using LOAL missiles, it very much can. The missiles used for doing so simply aren’t in-game at the moment, which is why I stated I doubted gaijin would implement said functionality “for the time being”.
Its almost like you’re trying your absolute best to start an argument simply for the sake of being toxic.

2.44.0.21;
FM changes (engine Buffs) were added, trying to find more
RBE2-AESA got ton of changes, Kfir C.60 can now be detected.
Oh, full 140° scan has been added :D

So a few more updates on the Rafale changes.
The Rafale has drag reduced but thrust slightly reduced at lower altitudes and thrust increased at higher altitudes. The SPECTRA also got K-band for its RWR although the RWR should be lowered down to C band as well. The RBE2 radar is now finally able to track 40 targets instead of 12, no longer will a target disappear off of a radar just because too many things are being tracked. The RBE2 is also now capable of tracking targets outside of its scan zone, so the radar will maintain track of targets outside of the scan zone if it has been picked up. The RBE2 radar also now has a 140 degree scan option as Ares has mentioned.
The Rafale is now capable of Mach 1.3+ supercruise. The jury is out however if the Rafale got increased sustain turn rate as well from the supercruise/drag changes. Visual changes to the model is also shown for the FSO.
The MICA EM’s notch sector was reduced significantly through the narrowed beam, but this also could mean that the MICA EM will need a little bit more help finding a target with long range launches.
More changes still need to come as not all reports are actioned, and more reports will need to be made.

Does this mean it will now be more difficult to notch than the other ARHs such as the AIM-120?
