This is twisting my arm to pay the SL for this thing.

Now ride that momentum and fix that artificial horizon in the HUD you can see in that video too :D

FYI, the situation around the AIM-9M / AIM-9L/I(-1) is better visually after todays patch but still the same functionally as the core problems of this missile weren’t fixed (locking while not having a lock instead of switching back to SRC when a flare is inside the FoV during target aquisition, and going for missiles fired from the target aircraft in flight).
Okay I did try to play the rafale for a bit today, and I had the exact same issue. I had not played top tier for quite a while so I can’t say from when this is from

I always thought the Rafale was unaffected by this, 1 year of this stupid bug…
I had this bug in the game where you saw me actually. I fat fingered for half of the game because I didn’t notice my radar switched to IRST when enemies were notching
They should just permanently implement the ability to fire from IRST, like they did back in June/July, it’s kinda stupid that we don’t have this yet when it’s proved to be doable.
Mind games to make the F-15 GE work :)))

Yeah, they should
Contract finally signed for AMK Kit development to go ahead
"AMK will allow faster integration of new weapons and certification of new external loads, including future anti-radar missiles, which enable the suppression and destruction of enemy air defence radars…
AMK also paves the way to further improve the jet’s air combat performance — particularly through enhanced target acquisition and improved close-quarters combat capabilities. This improvement is driven by extensions to the fuselage strakes, the flaperons and the leading-edge root, resulting in a noticeable increase in maximum wing lift."

Also the fleet just passed 1 Million flying hours!🎉Here’s to 1 Million more!

Just some further information
Spoiler
"In 2015, Airbus flight tested a package of aerodynamic upgrades for the Eurofighter known as the Aerodynamic Modification Kit (AMK) consisting of reshaped (delta) fuselage strakes, extended trailing-edge flaperons and leading-edge root extensions. This increases wing lift by 25% resulting in an increased turn rate, tighter turning radius, and improved nose-pointing ability at low speed with angle of attack values around 45% greater and roll rates up to 100% higher. Eurofighter’s Laurie Hilditch said these improvements should increase subsonic turn rate by 15% and give the Eurofighter the sort of “knife fight in a phone box” turning capability enjoyed by rivals such as Boeing’s F/A-18E/F or the Lockheed Martin F-16, without sacrificing the transonic and supersonic high-energy agility inherent to its delta wing-canard configuration. Eurofighter Project Pilot Germany Raffaele Beltrame said: “The handling qualities appeared to be markedly improved, providing more manoeuvrability, agility and precision while performing tasks representative of in-service operations. And it is extremely interesting to consider the potential benefits in the air-to-surface configuration thanks to the increased variety and flexibility of stores that can be carried.”

thats why i need atleast 50 chaff to notch a r77-1 while they only need 4 whole chaff to notch my aim-120
that is ridiculous
also isnt a eurofighter upgrade supposed to get LDIRCM?
Yep, BOL Chaff has been weak for 2 years. Its workable, but needs to be spammed

First i’ve heard or seen about it
taken into account the normal cms as well
large cal has ~5 times luminosity is absolutely crazy
