I mean we do, but that idea is why it was and still is the only the best of the best. (It’s lowkey my dream to become a SEAD/Wild weasel pilot)

as a general rule the ships won’t be using their radars, it gives away your position much better than it tells you the enemies
maybe if they used Rafale theyd be in more danger, but in a growler or F-16 they would be fine
Yeah but they can also intercept those, sometimes you need the distraction.
Why you said that to me and not the first one who talked about that? :p
Wut?
I think you have no idea about the stealth capability and EW of the Rafale.
thats a dying breed, F-35 already shown to have quite good EW capabilities, only a matter of time until SEAD is carried out by drones or further upgraded F-35
Im aware. Im just pointing out in WT if we reach that point of progression these downsides will hinder them a little bit in terms of gameplay.

i think you are severely underestimating the stealth capability and EW of a Growler. it has dedicated high power jamming pods with next gen ones on the way
:( way to kill my dreams
you can still do SEAD with an F-35 or even NGAD
It’s the F-16 high speed 1st turn capability allowing it to more efficiency dodge some SAMs. Watch the video and you’ll see it in action.
You can do sead with an rc car with a hand grenade taped to the roof
In recent test in India, Rafale spectra ew suit fried an Su-30 radar.
I think we both underestimate the other stuff then (but i never talked about the capability of the Growler)

Wild Weasel is already a dying practice, ARMs now can guide themselves to where the radar target was last detected, which means you don’t really need a bait pilot anymore, at least not to the same extent
Maybe. I don’t think i’m qualified enough for the stealth fighters though. My vision is corrected meaning I can’t fly stealth at the moment.
does it being stealth even matter? everything ive heard about US stealth fighter jets is that they are actually easier to fly then 4th gen
They land themselves, so I’d assume they’re pretty easy to fly
Yes, it’s the entire billion dollar jet idea, the tax payers are the ones who say no.
I guess i’ll just have to settle for the F15EX.
But i think the spectra on the rafale remove the need to do high speed 1st turn.
