It beats literally anything other than MICA in that sense. Especially AIM-120A/B/C. That’s still ahead of pretty much everything else in the game.
yeah, but it doesnt change the fact that rafale is still the best plane in the game after like 8 months, and still is today
su-30sm2 is second, yes, but rafale is still better

The competition is no longer rafale = hydrogen bomb vs everything else = coughing baby, it’s now become rafale = hydrogen bomb vs su-20sm2 = hydrogen bomb but with different flavor vs everything else = steroid baby
So, Rafale finally got something to be afraid of (or at least to be mindful of). Is it such a bad thing? Or you are mad that specifically YOUR beloved tech tree didn’t receive its own flavour of Rafale?

btw, can someone explain how this MFD works? Where does the video feed come from? Su-30 IRST has TV channel?
Depending on the Flanker Variant the IRST can guide in Laser munitions using the IRST. So it maybe that?
Well, this is cockpit of Su-30SM (first photo from Belorussian, second is from Russian judging by the footage in the video)
Dem pods are as rare as unicorns in the military, so i doubt that those Su-30s are using them on the video. I think 36Sh-01 has TV channel in it, but probably no laser designator.

That would also explain it.
Why does only mica get a different seeker?
Why is the broken rafale so handheld?

because of the Rafale bug report cabal (they will mass flag you if you bring them up)

Not sure on that chief, IIR uses a thermal image not just thermal tracks. If you do not completly erase that image the missile will not lose track.
It’s why BOL flares should be more effective.
If Gaijin follow that mindset they are just implementing another system incorrectly.
You do realize, in a 16v16 the 30sm2 cant send out multiple hard to notch ERs to multiple targets?
R-77-1s can be fired from the notch but they arent a mica with a better seeker and neither have TVC.
And you need to datalink them or the R-77-1s will miss the target if fired from +90° . If youve played the 30sm2 the bigger factor has always been the engines, and sometimes the occasional ER but you can just notch the radar and the ER falls from the sky.
Rafale on the other hand 8x micas with better POV seekers that can reconnect better also. That is more handheld then a guy in 30sm2 trying to use an ER one at a time or wait for his R-77-1s to complete their narnia of a circle w datalink to hit the same guy.
This^^
Was bug reported, also anyone ever wondered why Buk M3’s ARH missile got 3.0 Angle half sensitivity lol? 😂 i have questions about a missile ive never seen anywhere irl get such a good seeker but eh, the datalink on sams are so weak that it doesnt matter.
Well, at least we know the performance of R-37M seeker when it eventually hits War Thunder
Lol i swear. I do hope tho meteor and pl-15 get them as well. I mean it would be pointless bringing in new missiles just to make them as easily notchable as the old counterparts. Hey ho… it is what is.
I just dont want this game to become like Fox-3 on release when it was just “climb high, drop 8 AMRAAMs, collect 4-6 kills, rearm and repeat”. Would be extremely boring gameplay loop
