Yeah I agree, but we’re talking about when they were added. Eurofighter was far superior to all other Aircraft and as the Rafale. When it was 13.7 (or 14.0?) it was doing slightly worse than the F-15E in BVR but better in every other stat. Now the Eurofighter is okay, should still go up to 14.7 or 15.0 with decompression. Rafale has been a problem consistently since it was added. It should always sit above the Eurofighter and never next to it (unless they nerf it back to its Service state).
Yeah, though im personally of the opinion that its the F-15Cs and Su-27s at 13.7 and F-15E/I at 14.0 causing the most problems at the moment, as they are pushing aircraft down. Sure they’ll need to increase the max BR, but both really need to be 1-2 BR stops higher than they currently. I hate fighting F-15Es in the FA2/F3 Late for example, I cant imagine something like the Gripen A
I mean 13.0 is in a decent state considering it can’t face the 14.3s, but then that causes issues at 12.0. Decompress by .3 again, the few 13.3s will cause the same issues at 12.3-13.3.
I know
All i’m saying is that “an earlier version without the AESA radar” isn’t just the radar, it’s a whole lot of other things that would have limited the Rafale a lot more

More like not having HMD, being limited to 6 MICAs and having a PESA instead of an AESA
+missing some CAS options probably, but who cares about those
