They chose to buff the number the Rafale can carry.
Instead of buffing the range.
Then they opt to use the domestic version T90 bhishma mk III

Yeah, that was because of the Mirage 2000, I don’t think they should have done it but here we are
Question; how many countermeasures can F/A-18E carry?
Ever since I got used to Eurofighter’s 384, I feel like I could not play with any less lmao. I carry 264 chaff and 120 flares.
Yeah and even if, we could get the Wildcat Heli with Martlet LMM’s too but its just a big NO❌🚫
it’s significantly slower… which matters A LOT.
It’s evident you guys dont understand what the best plane in ARB is and why-
I mean, they contain parts from RAF aircraft.
Also, you do keep trying to move the goalposts just to suit yourself

Saw someone on here earlier post that it only had 60 countermeasures, but I have no clue if that is true so take it with a large pinch of salt.
EDIT: quick google search gives 120, so I’m fairly sure the above is incorrect.

I mean, the Typhoon and Rafale are effectively tied for first, the Typhoon performs better at the start of a match, but you’d rather have the Rafale at the end to clean up
Testing states thats not true.
Its marginally slower
It lacks a long range missile.
Load 10 mins of fuel test it and come back.
Give it the AN/ALE-50 towed decoy pod😂😂😂
Pretty sure they can use BOL pods, though that may have been the Legacy Hornet

doesnt change the fact it was meant for india, even if russia goes back on its own deals and tbh this is like the one thing india actually could give that would be top br, everything else wont scrape past 11.3
Oh… if it’s 60, I’ll just keep Eurofightin’ xD
Fox-3 evasion can require a good deal of chaff, and you always should have some flares too, of course.
If it’s 120… well, could work with that, using countermeasures thoughtfully.

yesn’t. The reason the Typhoon is still the defacto best, is that while they sit at two extremes in best performance. The Typhoon is right there with the Rafale for close range flight performance as well, it just lacks the missiles for it.
Meaning it’s overall still better while the 15E and Rafale are two different extremes.
Finnish mounted BOL on their hornets
But the deal never happened. I don’t see how they’d be entitled to it in game
The US did tests with them as well, so they’re compatible, I just don’t know if that compatibility carried over to the Super

120, but probably it should have additional chaff/flare pods
this is a BIG difference in BVR performance. The Rafale would be worse than the Typhoon at BVR even if the MICA’s had the same effective range as the AIM-120s.
