Test flight mach 1.5 Su-33 pulls similar G turns faster.
We were talking medium to short range the R-77-1 is scary as it can do crazy things like the MICA and R-73. 120 is best at long range and at the same time if you die to a 120 from 50-60km that is also very much a skill issue.
Saying that though you can shoot off 4 R-77-1
To the Typhoons 120.
No one is contesting the 120 is the best BVR missile. But within 15km the realistic engagement window the R-77-1 and MICA cook it.
Imagine if they added MICA IR next patch. 🤣
At the rate they are buffing the Rafale. It will have MICA IR, MICA NG and Meteors next major update
I didn’t respond to you. second i was talking about my allies F-15 at 11km in front of me.
For MICA 15 Km is quite decent from 10 and below even a defending target likely is a free kill.
R-77-1 can easily be launched from 20-22 Km depending on the heading of the target.
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.
