I used to enjoy the Darter and the MICA is the Darter on steriods with the addition of massive range increase
But I did respond to you.
I just saw the friendly F-15. That he is that much higher and faster did not necessarily give him any advantages.
He rather exposed himself. If he doesn’t get lucky that might well be a death without a single kill for him.
I think it is reasonable to fly Rafale just below contrail altitude slighty to the side.
That is efficient with most aircraft but it is somewhat of a surprise to see how effective Rafale can be in that scenario with it’s supposedly short ranged missiles.
It’s acceleration, top speed and maneuverability really are a boon.
If there is a enemy high and fast in a dangerous position to you you can simply defend and or pressure him yourself with a MICA.
At those speeds and altitudes it has a surprising range if the enemy fails to defend.
If the enemy does defend on average they will not take you seriously enough which allows you to close in further.
Either it is a joust which you will likely win if you are neither caught of guard by a desperate barrage nor cornered by aircraft from a different angle or you gain position to snipe from the side with MICA or come in full circle to rain down borderline undefeatabke MICAS from above.
It’s people like this that makes me proud of EFA and confident that it’s underperforming in game. If the best thing they can find to nerf it is airshow footage we’re in good hands. We just got to do the same back unto them and make everything Russian realistic.

Looks kinda like an ASRAAM but not certain.
It’s not a missile. It’s a dummy.

Yeah, was thinking the same.
Thats just completely untrue. FM performance is incredibly important for early game by impacting how aggressive you can be. The EF and Rafale can launch missiles at higher speeds and launch them closer to targets safely because they can easily defend by going cold.
and attacking like that is just as dependent on the radar being able to adequately find let alone guide the missile.
Id rather take something with a weaker FM but decent radar and loadout over the Typhoon currently. Heck. I do, I have more fun in ARB in the F3 Late than I do in the Typhoon.
The irony of judging someone for playing a few games in the Eurofighter, from someone who hasn’t played it at all…

i am parroting people who have played it for longer than either of these people combined
I’m gonna be blunt here, I honestly don’t care whether you’re listening to people telling you their views, because you can just misinterpret what they’re saying, or end up paraphrasing inaccurately. Not saying that’s what you’re doing all the time, but it makes your opinions virtually meaningless when it’s coming from a secondary source, if you’re going to post in a vehicle’s forum page, please at least play the vehicle first…

The radar is perfectly fine man. And people saying its worse than it was before double scan fix + tws + are insane. Medium scan feels so much better than what it once was.
The TWS still barely tracks a gently maneuvering target.
It still barely detects easy targets to detect (heck I have no idea how many times a target should have been detected but wasnt and I never knew because unlike in RB where you can just hard lock everything and have flashing beacons telling you where enemies are you 100% dependent on the TWS actually finding the target in ASB)
and it still produces constant ghost contacts
and thats just basic stuff.
We still barely have a radar more capable than the blue vixen, even with those things fixed.
Where is Priority track? That could be laughably easy to implement, just C&P AESA code over to it, but no… Gaijin of course has to use the excuse of “This feature isnt in the game yet” as a reason to artificially nerf the Typhoon . It is in the game, its found on AESA radars.
I still find myself relying upon Tpod thermals and the Mk2 eyeball far more than the radar. 6+4 is rapidly becoming my normal ASB fit, because AMRAAMs just arent as usable as they should be. Whenever I do play it, I play so stupidly defensively, I mgiht as well be in the Tornado F3 Late or Sea Harrier FA2 because the Typhoon is hopelessly outclassed in the radar department by the Rafale and SU-30SM, its DOA half the time
Just because you can hard lock people using the HMD in ARB, doesnt mean “its fine” and even if it was still a buggy mess. still 0 excuse for it to be so heavily artificially nerfed. Given everyone else is getting every possible buff for their top tier aircraft, it would be nice if the Typhoon could just be modeled even partially correct

What? I mostly play SB. I barely have any games at top tier in rb. What are you talking about using hms in rb? i mostly use hms in sim
Fine, You play ASB. Are you reliably getting long range TWS medium scan locks enabling BVR combat or are you hugging the deck and forcing close range WVR fights using ACM and HMD to hard lock the target to fire an AMRAAM?
I mean, he just admitted to mostly using HMS in sim, which means even he knows the radars trash and he’s just playing devils advocate…
