Rafale for example does not have to worry at 10km.^^
Typhoon is rcs optimized from the front so in the notch it wouldn’t make that much of a difference
And I wouldn’t want gaijin to make another radar overhaul before they fixed the bugs of the last one
Su30 doesn’t have an aesa radar not even the Indian one, the radar you are talking about was revealed not to long ago so it will probably take some time until it enters service
Yeah, so it makes you slightly harder to detect in the headon giving you a few more seconds to beat the CAPTOR-M into submission and then when you notch you have 320 standard calibre chaff instead 320 micro chaff to notch with.
Well… Chaff should have been fixed a year ago.
Then PESA.
It certainly isnt an M-Scan
Rafale is worse in pure flight performance
Not quite either because it has multiple tranceivers, so it is in between AESA and PESA.
Iirc they are called Hybrid ESA radars
Interesting.
Well, in the FGR4 they are always enemy :P
but never had an issue with F-18s and F-15s thankfully.
EF is better in a fair 1v1 but in an actual game the rafale has better high speed pull and high speed energy retention which is very strong for notching or going cold at very close range.
and then has the best HOBS IR and ARH missiles in game, so doesnt even necessarily need to pull fully onto a targets tail to get a shot off like the Typhoon would need to do with the Aim-120 and Aim-9M
For now, since Eurofighter can’t have it’s flagship weapons
Yeah… I do respect that ASRAAM would be too strong, it will likely be the meta weapon, but it is also a real shame we have such handicap
Can ASRAAM pull in a close range dogfight though?
Perhaps at speeds that are suicidal to begin with in the current gameplay.
Even without missiles Rafale will pull 15g or more while Eurofighter will pull 10g to 12g.
By the time Rafale starts lacking thrust compared to Eurofighter it should be able to make some shots connect.
Yes and no. It is perfectly capable of doing the extreme HOBS that things like IRIS-T can do, but its biggest strength is also its biggest weakness. Its extremely fast off the rails. This means it has a larger turning radius than missiles like IRIS-T which are very slow off the rails. (Think of it like turning radius of a car, one traveling really fast and the other very slow. ) So whilst it will be able to do HOBS, it will need a little more thought, but they should really be used more like R-27ETs as an almost psuedo BVR missile
It has a higher Str than the rafale at every speed
From what i’ve seen of late. Rafale will pull 20+Gs without ripping and the Typhoon falls apart if you try to do more than about 12. When it should be the Rafale rips at 16G and the Typhoon at 18G or something like that
and is still underperforming in STR :D
Be happy, I wish we would have an Realistic MM :(
Yeah, that was one thing that put me off quite a bit for the first 3 months. Every match was Typhoon vs Typhoon for me and it was kinda dull.
Germany really needs to be a swing nation like France and Sweden are these days, but the issue is, the EFT and Rafale carry the Redfor teams currently
Im hoping when the J-10B comes, we can make that argument
