Indian rafale should get indigenous weapons and missiles integrated + more sells of rafale for India.
“The French offer includes options for integrating Indian weapons, including the Astra air-to-air missile, as well as India-specific upgrades and other related equipment.
(There is no way in hell i was gonna post that in the indian rafale suggestion thread)
French Rafale with UK missiles ASRAAM…in the Indian tech tree…
That will be fun to figure out where it goes ha ha
I think we can all agree if it went to UK it would not be pretty
Most likely the others versions of their astra missiles, i don’t see why it would be asraam.
With how much Gaijin are intent to bury the Typhoon we might need it!
ASRAAM is Indians chosen IIR missile it will be equiped to Su-30MKI, Rafale, Tejas and whatever 5th gen they select.
ASRAAM will be worse than Mica IRs. So this Indian version would be a downgrade to be honest.
Well even if they do that, a missile does not make an aircraft go to one tree or another, event jaguar use magic 2 for example, there is a mirage (not in game) that use russian missiles and it would not lead it to go to russia, and anyway mica ir will always be superior to asraam, i have no clue if it’s even cheaper while not having datalink (and no purple flames too !).
We dont know the upgrades for the Block 3 ASRAAM.
If they give it DL like the CAMM then the performance will be similar.
Unless it’s a premium why would it go to France what would it add over the F.4 which would already be in the tech tree?
So until anyone knows, it won’t be modelled. Therefore, Mica IR will be the better missile.
There’s also insufficient info for Mica IR NG, but it is again most certainly the superior missile.
It would bring different loadout options and would have a special camo, no need to think much honestly.
There are some premium/event vehicles which are copypaste of the tech tree tanks etc.
This report will be nice to see if they can fix it by patch day.
Even if that is the case it wont be by much. Both have stated similar ranges and top speeds. MICA IR having DL is the real advantage here.
Mica IR also has a much better seeker. Mica IR NG will have an even better seeker than anything the UK could produce.
There is a reason France is in charge of development of the IR seeker for Franco-British generation-after-next missile studies.
Going into the nitty gritty, it would really depend on which one has the better flare rejection seeker (and I don’t know enough on either of them), but data link is going to be a major helper for the missiles that gets it. Especially in air realistic where everyone flares all the time to evade other missiles. In simulator they might perform more similarly
Idk if you could do 50km launch without datalink, in close fight it will be the same, but if you begin to do a max range shot i don’t believe you could even launch it to start with or it would be with irst and you would still not give it information if the target is slightly maneuvering.
Atleast in close fight one has thrust vectoring if both people hide behind mountains until they merge with each other.
Produced by different divisions within the same company. MBDA are producing a new seeker for ASRAAM and no longer using the 9X one that was originally installed on the missile.
This tit for tat is going nowhere, so if the MICA EM/IR is superior in real world scenarios it wont be by much and ingame it will be less.
