Once you’ve merged with the EFT, your missiles become a deadweight.
Watch the actual video please, his opponent actually tried with Magics at the start, but found no real use to them in the dogfight.
Not true.
These duels work on the notion either aircraft has the same fuel load.
And no weapons.
A Typhoon ambushed by a Rafale that has just spawned and has a higher fuel load and loaded pylons.
And like wise a Rafale in similar circumstances.
Guns only dogfights are only one part.
Holy yap

nahh i’m just kidding
Friends, I want to know if HOPE and HOSBO have the same fire-and-forget capability as the AGM-65.
Aircraft could have and did have missiles if it boosted their performance in their dogfight, like the 27SM did. So again, please watch the video because you surely didn’t.
Anything ambushed is at an disadvantage, but for EFT it’s surely way less of a predicament than for others. Jettisoning your ordnance is a thing as well.
Once again, this wasn’t guns only dogfights.
Day 65 waiting for the radar fix 💤💤💤

The video footage was.
The question is would you rather have marginal performance over the best Radar the ability to carry 8 ARHM? A superior HMD?
But yes Typhoon wins in a guns fight…
They have an iir seeker I think, but It might just be for terminal guidance.
Electro-optical terminal guidance

No, you can clearly see 27SM firing R-73s at him.
Rafale was tried with Magics and nothing has changed in favor of Rafale, so missiles were taken off the plane to give it more performance.
DEFYN literally said this in the video.
EFT wins in a dogfight, you having missiles or not doesn’t change the fact.

fair enough
i guess thats the difference between dedicated 1v1s and air rb
but i think the EF FM is definitely unfinished. at low speeds it feels like the tail is cut off idk how else to describe it
Yeah, those two are definitely much better than your average ARB/GRB pilot, but I guess it goes to show how capable EFT truly is.
Magics/Micas could elevate Rafale’s performance in lower skill duels though.
I don’t know about the FM but radar is still buggy according to people, which definitely needs fixing.

uhhhh did gaijin change the FM?
i keep ripping my wings just pulling with mouse aim
No change in months
no, It always does that around Mach 1,2ish at low altitude since it dropped
