Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Yeah not adding what essentially is a Gripen model they have in game with additional pylons and an AESA Radar is wild.

Yeah, I just came to think that F-18C got Su-30SM treatment, to compensate the slow as mule speed, they receieve better Fox 3.

Fair tbh, well, the meme is dead then lol. I thought we’re gonna push for another powercreep again.

But either way, let’s make this thread not drifitng far away from Rafale, it’s getting out of topic again.

i keep seeing this, but like what does that mean exactly?

MICA is the hardest to notch by not an insignificant amount. Combine with the fact it has excellent kinematics and the Rafales radar is OP as hell at the moment. Little survive a Rafale at shorter ranges.

I know I just stay at max possible range in SB in the typhoon or just pick lobbies with France on my team, because CBA go fight them at the moment

So it’s now confirmed that F-15E/I will get AIM-120C-5. No reason not to have MICA-EM get its real range now. Dev server thread should be up when dev server section opens.

We’re maybe getting MICA fixes pretty soon then lol

Hardest at short range from the way it is working and easier to notch if it’s the right term for this at long range from what i remember.

ok but like, my question was about the seeker being different, what does that mean? Like how is it different?

There’s no chance we will get a MICA-NG to compensate the advanced missile, all we got for a realistic scenario is MICA-EM actual range.

Means seekers aren’t accurate, Russian seekers are better than they should be and US/NATO seekers are weaker than they should be.

Should give the Mirage 2000D MICA IRs

The MICA missile now has a new feature, “Full engagement capability”. It will not be restricted to the seeker gimbal limit, and can fire at targets outside of its seeker gimbal limits if the radar has lock. This allows for better notching while firing coupled with the missile’s thrust-vectoring.

Does the r-77-1 also get this now? Pretty sure there were reports on both the mica and r771 getting this

Does the allow the silly angle launches in the short range or is that still borked? (Video not loading)


That aside, have seen new F2 has anti ship missiles. Would it be worth the attempt to ask for exocet?

It should.

Not sure about R-77-1 even though it should.

I think the anti-ship missiles are IR capable against tanks, which Exocet wouldn’t really be. Perhaps some newer version of Exocets exist though that are GPS-capable. Not sure.

They’re ARH according to game card, though I think one shouldn’t be. But I’m not too familiar with the things.

I asked Smin, the Exocets will not be added for the moment.

It seems you can, but good luck having your radar track outside the 77 gimbal limit.

Rubbish. We have super entendard, we have rafale, why we have no exocet
