A Small Comparison Between the Eurofighter and the Rafale (After Changes)
🔼 Buffs to the Rafale:
Buffed missile count – increased number of air-to-air missiles.
Buffed countermeasures – more flares/chaff to survive engagements.
Buffed top speed – faster straight-line performance.
Buffed turn rate – improved agility.
Magic 2 buff – major performance improvement.
Ridiculous buff to the MICA missile – now in dev server capable of turning 180 degrees mid-air like crazy .
AESA radar buff – can now track targets even outside the search cone.(Next update)
🔻 Nerfs to the Eurofighter:
Radar update speed nerfed – slower target refresh.
Radar search cone reduced – less area scanned.
Radar target tracking nerfed – fewer simultaneous tracks.
Radar bug in TWS mode – can’t update targets’ real position properly.
Massive nerf to flight performance, especially:
Max G-load reduced from 15 to 12 at low fuel.
Only 10 G allowed at full fuel.
Meanwhile, Rafale still pulls 15 G .
12g with heavy load out

CAS Advantage: Rafale
Rafale dominates from the start because of fire-and-forget ASM Hammers.
The Typhoon, in contrast, is stuck with laser-guided bombs and Hellfires, needing constant guidance.

What Should Be Done:
1. Nerf that unrealistic 15 g pull of all canard fighters make it as much as the eurofighter
2. Nerf the unbalanced MICA missile – that 180° turn is absurd and no current system can counter it.
3. Fix the TWS mode for the Captor-M radar – currently one of the worst top-tier mechanical radars.
4. Add fire-and-forget capability to the Typhoon. My suggestion:
Add the SPEAR missile.
It’s subsonic, meaning slower than the KH-38 and slightly slower than Rafale’s ASM.
Limit it to 6 missiles only – similar to how
SPAA have limited AP rounds for balance.
Lock range should be limited to 20 km.
Even then, it wouldn’t be as ridiculous as the KH-38.

Before the ridiculous buffs to the Rafale’s turning ability and missile performance, there was a fair balance:
The Rafale was meant to dominate in dogfights and low-altitude performance.
The Eurofighter Typhoon was stronger in BVR (Beyond Visual Range) and high-altitude engagements.
—
But Now Things Are Getting Out of Hand
No aircraft at top tier can currently deal with the Rafale in a dogfight.
Its performance is simply broken after the recent updates.
This “cancer” shouldn’t receive any more buffs in the next update.
And It’s Going to Get Worse…
Gripen E is coming soon (and even the C model already has a better turn rate than the Eurofighter Wich shouldn’t ).
J-10C is also on the way in the next few updates.
This means the Eurofighter will become the worst delta-canard fighter in the game.
