It meets and exceeds them if tested at weight specified in ESR-D. Reports that it underperforms are based on testing at higher weights than specified in MOD documents and MOD documents make conscious effort to account for weight increases of the plane.
EF-2000 currently has the best flight model in the game from a pure 1v1 dueling / BFM perspective. This has been proven pretty consistently in RB and even SB. It also has access to pretty ridiculous “AoA button” due to how Gaijin has interpreted spin recovery function / manual pitch override function from IRL to in game.
Playing with my Eurofighter, I’ll fire a C5 at 6km from a Rafale, it turns instantly and makes a notch in my missile as if it were nothing, it turns quickly and fires a mica, I make every possible notch movement, mica still hits, once with a Su30SM R77 at 3-4km from a Rafale, it does the same thing to me that it did when I was in the Eurofighter, that thing must have been 14.7
Rafale was introduced too early. This patch should have been for EF2000 exclusively, leaving France out. Even today Rafale is just too op with Micas, Aesa radar (lol), its unnerfed FM (turns like a Zero) and Hammers to torment GRB players.
i found the loophole: Tanks Smokes could be used as Chaffs dispenser,… already done in many systems such as MUSS by Hensoldt in germany, Galix AOS from lacroix-defense, or SAAB in sweden.
we could give those Smokes an EM/RF defensive abilities.
in-game Smokes works for around 20 seconds, but chaffs are far more heavier, and drops much faster: we could expect to use smokescreen for a 7 to 10 seconds protection against ARH seekers. (and still 20seconds for IR seekers).
let’s add a an ability for SPAAM to defend an area around them by ECM, or massive radar emission (like 300m radius, forcing them to move up if willing to defend tanks from Air support)
like this, peoples in Ground battle could defend themselves
Brimstone become ARH or Laser (no change in flight, like AASM)
Ground target are somehow protected if people works together
to hit protected people Brimstone would require to be guided by Laser.
Would be fine if the Rafale was more distributed, like the typhoon, however it’s only in a single nation and as a result only benefits said nation, japan (or italy) could really benefit from export rafales and they would diversify the playerbase for the airframe, plus it needs more realistic FM modelling and an investigation into the validity of 8x MICAs on the F3 model, since that opens the gates for more advancements for the Eurofighter that we aren’t seeing
because they have to work,… we all know how Gaijin is reluctant to work on some systems because this would mean to workaround every systems in the world.
but i can’t help better than that,… i gave Brimstone possibilties for a FnF launch system, and possible decoys for Ground battle (or we can get a dooble standard → no FnF in Ground battle)
