Ah, yes. The eternal skill issue argument.
Boring.
Good thing I value (and apparently many air US players) not using a plane that demands unfair amounts of discipline neither the EF, Rafale or Su-30 do to get barely the same results.

The discipline in question: not flying head-first into the furball, staying well clear of enemy Rafale WVR, pre flaring the moment M29/S30 shows up on RWR behind me
It’s genuinely not rocket science or requires full brain power to do. Fly like a pilot and not like a brainless CoD player and you too can have success in games (I assume you already do, btw)
Its literally easier and faster to do that on any other plane at 14.3 except the Su-30, which ironically has the capability to supress with its missile count instead.
Not falling for the “duh F-15 is as easy to play as the rest” straightup propaganda. Su-30 players can fully send it and gets couple of frags on simple jousts, Rafale players can easily flank and get easy separated frags before merge. EF players have BVR advantage over the rest.
The F-15C GE? Gets a radar. And another relegated support role plane for the US at top tier which requires some decent or good amounts of knowledge about round timings to make it work.
You stay too passive? The round ends.
You go too agressive? You have to notch and bleed all its energy with a suboptimal flight model and acceleration for top tier.
How fun.

Wdym stuck with, 8 missiles is already inflated for French Rafales, it’s a bit hypocritical to agree with that but be against MRML which is used by the US

It’s the worst 14.0+ fox 3.
R-77-1, MICA, and Pl-12 generally regarded as better. R-77 is better WVR where most stuff occurs

It really is, though. Trying to play x jet the same as you’d play y jet will always lead to very different end results.
Spoiler
this better be the last edit you make.
aaaaand never mind there’s more
It gets a new radar. Yay, fancy. Also gets BOL pods. Might also get additional missiles. I’m of the opinion it’s not really needed, but nice to have. Play the plane you have, not what the meta demands.
To the rest of the post… 🤦♀️👍
Stuck with, as in it can’t get more than 8.
On the contrary, I reliably get at minimum 2 kills a game and up to 4 (can never break the 4-kill wall ._.) using this exact method. Of course, there is the risk that my team either evaporates within the first 3-4 mins or I get team killed by friendly AIM-9M (or sometimes AIM-120, though this is rare). Of course, I know my experience will not translate if someone else tries it if they’re not used to it
Easy to say when you've been playing the most meta plane for more than a thousand rounds, while there's people with barely one researched tech tree.
It only raises questions about why you’re so skeptical on gatekeeping one of the Rafale’s competitors, that’s all.
Cheers pal.

8 of the best missiles

Played the Rafale since day 1, besides it’s my favourite jet irl so of course I play it a lot?

If the AMRAAM seeker, manueverability and even range was not so nerfed I’d agree, the AMRAAM would be an amazing missile in WT and is IRL. But it’s so easy to notch and the kinematic performance is so relatively bad in close range I think it’s on the worse side for the current meta

Is the GE horrible nope, is it in need of at least EPAWSS and the 4 extra pylons yes, the big issue is that it plays identically to the F15c so you have to deal with the higher rafale and now Eurofighter spam in the 16v16 format with no extra mechanics to make it feel worth owning and playing over the earlier C at just a better overall BR.
what we really should again be fighting for is generally to lower lobby sizes, each time the Dev comes around we get to see how amazing US jets and other nations perform when they get to play as they were intended, the US jets we have at this moment tend to be great all rounders at their BR, their meta on release normally bringing in a new tech or mechanic i.e. f16A, C ,F14’s, and the F15A, (with a few exceptions F18’s added way to late and 15C Ge, rafale and EFT were added to soon.)
However even if we get lower matches I would like to see the extra 4 missiles, being able to put pressure on these better vehicles would allow it if played by an actually good player to get a optimal shot or even perform something similar to some su30 tactics and fire a missile at theirs to avoid being put into a notch,(this is more for the funny’s though.)
If I can notch?

I’ll give it a 2nd shot then. Usually I go pretty high, notch or fire off a few if I get lucky, try and clear the immediate area around my altitude, if it’s pretty clear then I’ll step it down to 3-5km
did he stutter?
