Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Yes, and by this same reasoning you are applying to MICA an AMRAAM can engage a target >100km, while it shouldn’t be able to do so

[kizvy]

Only because of battery not kinematics

@UNN_Daedalos

Hit a drone, 67km away

wrong fired at a drone 67km away and hit it

On May 8, 1998, a two-seat Di fired one MICA missile and successfully hit a target drone 67 km away

[Cpt_Bel_V]

so you prefer to be bitching about it? when all missiles are defined the same way - Operationnal range.

i’ve given Definition of Operationnal range before,… and it clearly establishes that the range would be advertised for a Traveled distance.

[UNN_Daedalos]

It doesn’t matter for the scenario at hand, your missile would still miss

[Cpt_Bel_V]

the drone stand at 67km, not 67km and closing.

and you can’t do that in game.

[ron_23]

@UNN_Daedalos

a target >100km

yes they very much can depending on the launch conditions

@UNN_Daedalos

while it shouldn’t be able to do so

then show me a source that says that

[Cpt_Bel_V]

Reposting,… since everyone start to think it is normal. while MICA-EM clearly is comparable to AIM-120 in every military charts.

[kizvy]

Give me a chart with mica launch parameters like amraam. Then we could really compare them

[ron_23]

he dosent have one thats why he tries to argue

[UNN_Daedalos]

Ok so now we finally arrive to this point

For some unknown reason you guys can’t prove, France would be calculating its missile range differently from the rest of the world.

you are trying to tell us it does, not the other way around

peak gaslighting behaviour

@Morvran

But max range is typically the maximum range the target can be for the missile to actually hit the target. So for the 80km shot, both the launch aircraft and target aircraft were most likely up high and closing head-on with each other. So the missile will travel 50km and the target will travel the other 30km.

For example. ASRAAM has a reported max effective range of 50+km but this is only really against targets up high and closing with the launch aircraft. Under most other conditions, its more like 25+ km.

[Cpt_Bel_V]

even more considering it is also NATO, so measuring are standardized.

[UNN_Daedalos]

No, you seem to have troubles understanding

On one hand, AMRAAM was trialed and advertised with a 80km range and was implemented in game with a “Range travelled” reasoning (if you shoot a missile at a target “sitting” 70km away it will hit) (loss 10km in the process)

On the other hand MICA, which is advertised with the same range, can not travel 80km, but will be limited to 50km in the exact same scenario (loss of 30km in the process)

[ron_23]

then show me your sources all iam seeing is empty claims

this is the 3rd or 4th time iam asking already

[Cpt_Bel_V]

i’m seeing Cope from your side,… i’m not weavering to told you how double standard your reasonning is.

[_OceanFish]

You got shown sources many times but you are just playing with words anyway

[UNN_Daedalos]

I literally shared them a few posts ago

[ron_23]

i was able to provide atleast something unlike you guys
