I stopped playing my Rafale on air rb long ago, couple days ago I gave another chance but I instantly remembered why I stopped playing in the first place despite bein my favorite Delta Canard.
Even J10C offers much more fun at same br despite bein inferior plane in most ways due to gaijin.
Originally i was about to get trough French tree because i also like how Rafale looks, but then it was superbuffed to the point of being owerpowered so instead i picked italy.
IRST would lock it on to the particular target. If that seeker has that range surely any other ambient heat sources would attract the seeker. We have a group of 4 F-15s and you shoot that missile there is no guarantee over 70km it would hit the one you have shot it at? And if you have friendlies in the area how do you prevent it from going after another Flanker in front of your target?
Again in DCS you use/can use the IRST system to queue the R-27ET
As would the radar (which he was using). All the IRST does is give the seeker an azimuth & elevation angle to point at before launch. The radar can provide that same information.
Not really sure what you are trying to argue here? Multiple primary sources state those are the lock ranges. And the the missile will run out of energy way before it reaches a 70 km rear aspect target anyway, so it’s kind of academic.
So in game this system is modelled with LOAL?
Does it have a DL? Whats to stop the target moving out of the seeker gimble over these kind of distances?
