Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Isn’t the MAWS system PD or even PESA?
On Typhoon

It’s PD for sure. As for PESA or AESA, there’s absolutely no information on it. Some people have tried to use Wikipedia’s unsourced napkin maths to “prove” it’s AESA but any logical person agrees for now that no conclusive sources can really tell us.
However, being PD, it’s totally capable of getting distance and speed of incoming missiles.

Technically, and I never thought of that, but since the jammers of the SPECTRA (from 2013 onwards at the very least) are ESA (AESA according to @DirectSupport ?), they could perform similar tasks, when directed by the IR based MAW, even though it’s not their primary role (Jamming being their priority)

oh boy i sure do love the rudolf

Me who flies the Rafale, planning on grinding Italy’s Typhoon, knowing I am indeed in danger

It was inevitable…

It’s like the RMV and Leclerc
Things getting added in an underestimated state requiring plenty of buffs later

The RMV has been integrated into the game quite well, it hardly lacks anything.

I mean by now yeah, but the amount of reports + it not having MICA-IR because it was added too early

In itself, the reports were made before its release and at the time of the update everything was there. For the Mica anyway it is normal that he did not have them and if it was necessary for the planes to arrive in game with their best missiles, 80% of the top tier planes would not have been added.

The RMV only needs some improvements to the radar and for the few weapons it lacks, but otherwise it was a good integration into the game.

Fair, Mirage 2000-5F itself would be a better example, its jump when Fox-3 got added is plain to see

To honest, there are a few significant nerfs I could report for Eurofighter but I neither care enough nor want to spend the time which could otherwise be invested in getting the Rafale to the finish line.

The Rafale? Definitely. The Eurofighter? Nah, not really.
