My guy, its still a AIM-120, its not even top 3 missiles of top tier

I dont know if youve been in a horrific car accident, in which case im so sorry for you, or you are just legally blind however, your “lowest missile count in the game” is 8. 8.
Pre-AESA typhoons they had maximum of 6 Fox 3 missiles, now they are… 8 (and previously max missile count was… 8, now, 10). The F16s including the currently new and “shiny” PoBit is 6. Every other F15 apart from GE has… you guessed it, 8.
Please, for the love of god and ALL that is holy on this world; stop. making. it. seem. like. the. system. is. against. you.
It is a completely normal amount of missiles for top tier.
worlds smallest violin plays in the background
disregarding the incessant crying for a meteor or MICA IR of all things, calling the hands down best medium-short range ARH in the entire game “bad” is actually hilarious. A missile with an incredibly good seeker and thrust vectoring on a more than good platform with completely normal amount of missiles… i genuinely dont know what to say.
its literally. the. same. as. C-5.
The GNSS barely makes a significant enough difference, at most on miss the missile will turn towards where the plane “should be” with absolutely 0 residual speed to do anything with and the seeker is effectively the same. Not any harder to notch than all the other amraams before it.
I know from the entire C5 getting added that people were crying about “C5 is in the game we need MICA NG/METEOR/R37M/ETC.” because in general, people see “different letter and number?!? that must mean that it is so much better” but it isnt.
C5 was at best a slight upgrade to A/B to BVR and in general a downgrade. Super slow acceleration and non existent HOBS (now buffed but its still not anything to write home about) with only mediocre increase to performance over A/B above 20 but realistically 40 kilometers. And still an easily defeat-able seeker head.
this is genuinely just a cope post.

Tiny correction. Rafale could take 8x Fox-3, Pre-AESA Typhoon could take 2+6 or ditch some Fox-3s for a greater number of Fox-2s, but 9/10 you were probably running 8 missiles.
Post-AESA Typhoon you can now run 2+8 for 10 missiles, which is the standard config i always run at the moment. (though granted, I finish 75% of matches with both 9Ms on the wing)
perhaps a quick tweak to wording to specify Fox-3s might be in order

the post is about MICAs, I assumed it would be self evident that im talking about fox 3s. I can edit it but I kinda expect people to have a common sens… never mind, i forgot where I am.

Out of those only R-77-1 brings actual flight model improvement over predecessor, while MICA is the only missile besides SAMs and Phoenixes with narrower seeker FoV for chaff rejection.
LWS on Teafighter sure is overpowered piece of tech.

damn, ive never seen so much french cope in 1 post
the rafale is still handily the best top tier plane in the game, and if you say otherwise youre either terible at the game or just flat out coping
I already addressed this argument, please read next time. The British Eurofighter has a higher K/D and higher KPS than the Rafale. If its performance was because it was on the same team as the Rafale, then the opposite would be the case, with the Rafale having the higher stats and bringing the British Eurofighter “up”.
i think you might just be bad at the game ngl, my kd in the rafale is WAY higher than in the typhoon, its almost like the rafale is still massively OP

I think you might not have good reading comprehension ngl, I am talking about global statistics from Statshark and not personal statistics.
ok, then a majority of French players are worse at the game on average compared to UK players
You don’t want to go down that rabbithole because I could argue that the Rafale’s global statistics are because major nation mains such as the US, RU, and China are because they suck and not anything necessarily to do with the Rafale.
easily disproven by actually comparing the planes themselves
what, like how the rafale has been the best plane in the game for over a year now, and yet french mains still find a way to complain because “it isnt good enough” even though it currently has the best Fox 3 in the game, massively overperforming engines, the best sensors in the game (because the typhoons is bugged and gaijin wont fix it), and more missiles than it carries irl?
Explain
i dont think china can be considered a major nation in any kind of way
Then replace it with Germany, you still get my point.
for typhoon or for other countries?
typhoon is more even but still imo in the Rafales favor for ARB, but its a wash with other nations jets for the most part
You’re going off track now, and not even addressing the argument anymore. Why are you talking about Rafale’s past domination in a topic on how to read global statistics.
because global player statistics mean nothing when half of the playerbase are terrible players
