Please show me with hard evidence.
I’m waiting for 80km shots from you.
Pump up the launch speed to M2.0, which the Rafale can EASILY achieve, unlike every other jet in-game, and the theoretical max launch range according to statshark is actually slightly above 90km.

So no in game footage to prove your point but estimated values.
As I’ve expected.
Come back once you get footage(which you can’t cause missile will self destruct at 50km).
Didnt feel like hassling a friend for 5-10min of their time to shoot a missile at them to prove you wrong just cuz you dont understand what you’re even complaining about, and I havent redownloaded my test mission to do it alone either. If I feel like it, ill do it later.

You’re missing the part where the missile is coded to self destruct at 50KM. The missile actually has good kinematics. The issue of the 80km max range is worthless tho so this thought experiment means nothing.
My best shot with MICA is 50 KM, here is because the target was oblivious J-11 that I assume very slow, that’s why the MICA can catch up.
Just for reference ofc, this was done in 25 April 2025.
And I must say, this was pretty rare and not as usual as I have done in Typhoon with AMRAAM.
EDIT: It’s 62 KM lmao

that was a 62km shot, dont sell your self short
Honestly we just gave up complaining, at some point, it gets exhausting lol
well on a side note does anyone know what the barrel of wine is doing in the backseat becuase i kinda want to know what it is
Covers electronics and maybe the flight computer ?
No clue
that sounds reasonable but if you look at the 2 seater rafale thats where the co pilot goes
another side topic why is the hmd set to ft rather then Meters or is this another thing to do with settings

Well Rafale uses feet and not meters, when someone asked if the HUD is 42,000 feet, the official French air force squadron confirmed yes.
just noticed this but thanks for telling me but why is the the hud in M and the hmd in ft unless im being dumb
The HUD shouldn’t be in feet, but should be in meters instead. It’s just not fixed yet

The TTW diff in game of both aircraft its not that big. Like 0.03 or smh. While Close coupled canards should totally give it a edge to the rafale. Canards on Eurofighter are bad for maneuverability.
Spoiler
Thing is, you are also forgetting the primary source that MICA VL can still get to 30G at least 12km. Although the MICA VL is not in game, it can be simulated by very slow flying rafale. Currently it does not pull nearly as much at those distances. Also, since MICA VL can fire both EM and IR, it could be argued that the 30G figure should be achieved by the IR, but let’s give the benefit of the doubt and say only the EM (with better aero) can do that for now

iirc the canards of the EFT are to give it some post stall performances, while the rafale should instead give more lift before stall
Why was this hidden lol there’s nothing offensive or against the rules of the forum

Any idea what config this aircraft was in?
