they have not
Thats the issue in Ground RB. TWS is key to scan the GRB map and to spot contacts before they do. And guess who wins this game… its not the EF.
MICAs are better than AIM120 in those GRB arenas, its pretty smallscale.
Beside TWS detection issue, Rafale also simply locks easier. No ghosting and similar stuff.
Rafale has far better ground ordnance (F&F).
Rafale wins every dogfight, cause it simply pulls better.
Why are EF and Rafale even allowed to play in the same league? Why do they have the same GRB BR?
Why was Rafale with that op radar introduced that early? Was the game even ready to support this jet?
I mean…EF has just laserlock Brims, even the ICE Phantom is better in GRB, thx to its 2 Mavericks and better radar.

There’s a report in to basically nerf the Rafale C top speed/acceleration down to levels in line with the SEP the engines produces, which means the EF should still have an advantage at high altitudes.
I think if this goes trough it would affect balance in a good way.
Well we are in the 3rd iteration of the dev server and we have had 5-7 changes to the Typhoon but only buffs for the Rafale.
Yea ive seen the Rafale can go mach 2 which is ridiculous.
Oh and Russia and China might get even better fnf atgms while EF is still stuck with laserlock
I pray for the HOSBO/HOPE. They’re already in the files.
I think they might add them together with the Israeli Spice bombs as they’re kinda the same, Diehl and Rafael even had a collab project that went nowhere that was derived from both HOPE/HOSBO and SPICE.
Yea just test drove the Rafale on the dev its still pulling 15-16g’s but god forbid the EF does it. It should also be pulled down to the Ef’s 12-13g’s
Untill we get even fnf brimstones i dont see those for awhile.
So far EFT was better at dogfights, of course if you knew what you were doing.
Yeah, Rafale is Dev’s darling, while EF got artificially nerfed ordnance from the start and like the 5th flight model nerf. Rafale is no Mach 2 jet. Its top is Mach 1.8 or 1.9 or something like that.
I still can’t understand their logic why EF doesn’t deserve FnF weapons, while every other max BR jet had access to exactly these. Even the Rafale, which is superior in every single point than the EF. I just don’t understand it.
No, check it out. Rafale will dance in circles around EF. No chance. Hope it wont go live.
I was talking about live server from the moment they got introduced.
The patch is almost there, not worth to talk about the live server imho. Its almost gone into digital nirvana.
Okay, what nerf to EFT makes you believe Rafale will dance around it ?
All I could see are some high speed nerfs.
It’s locked to 12g pull now
Guns only dogfights*
Was better in every dogfight form as well.
It’s not. It was lowered from 13g to 12g generated from the wings. The canards allow it to generate more G past that like how it does on live allowing it to pull above 17g. It can still pull way above 12g
Yep, exactly my thought, usually it HMD’s a Mica or something at you. Guns only is a special discipline with little relevance. And in a couple of days the G limiter kicks in anyways and even this is gone. Rafale pulls 16, EF pulls 12. Hopeless.
(Why?) I never read EF is that bad.
yeah if you roll… thats not the gs we’re talking about.
no rolling, sometimes going to 17
same scenario and on the dev its 13 with peaks to 14
Nah, 9m is pretty abysmal in a dogfight for a couple of reasons, you only have a chance to launch it if an enemy makes a mistake + it’s really hard to get a feeling of it, at least for me, since it’s smiokeless. Though I’m not sure about how MICA behaves right now, does it have a timeout before it starts pulling? If not or it’s short enough - it wins by a mile. And in 1v1 guns dogfight Eurofighter is now winning by only a pretty small margin.
