Rafale.
it already dominates because you sneeze and it gets another buff.
super hornet is only a sidegrade to the best legacy hornets
AESA typhoon finally has a usable radar but still has inherant problems (brimstone)
F15 lmao
SU30 from malaysia will be a ground dominator as its a KH38 slinger without russia mains

Rafale already has dominated and will continue.
F-15 isn’t total garbage, but there are better options. SU-30 isn’t that.
Welp it is undoubtedly the worst
Have you tried using R-77’s? BVR is laughable. Even the AIM-57’s are better at BVR.
Yes i have. R-77-1s are pretty good IMO, but for R-77 aka one of the worst fox3 ,it needs no explanation.
R-77-1’s are, they are better than standard R-77’s…
But planes stuck with R-77’s and constant uptiers aren’t capable of doing much.
If they decide to add R-77M’s they will actually be comparable to the AIM-120C-5’s

Nothing is changing.
EFT getting AESA means its no longer hamstrung by radar performance and the extra 2 AMRAAMs gives it more combat endurance. But the C5s are still bad and the radar only brings us on par to everything else with AESA.
Rafale still dominates because it gets next gen Missiles. Until we get ASRAAM. IRIS-T, Aim-9X, etc etc and they actually buff everyone elses ARH seekers. Rafale still has an overwhelming advantage

Rafale. No question.
Super Hornet is okay, J-10C would be closer with better engines, F-15CGE even with more AIM-120s would still be held back by AIM-120s, and the Eurofighter AESA is close aswell. Su-30MKM in ARB is pretty much just the Su-30SM with MAWS+LWS and is missing TVC I believe? Atleast when I played it, the engines didn’t seem to move unless they haven’t modelled that in yet.
Rafale will still dominate, having one of the best radars, flight models and missiles.
sounds like another buff to rafale is needed.
honestly with how petty dassault is, wouldnt surprise me if they ever started bribing games that feature their stuff to make the things overperform

Yeah, or declassifying certain bits of information just for WT buffs

They actively cause problems (dare i say sabotage) to joint national venture aircraft designing to try and take over the project, or make it so their competing design is a better purchase.
There’s good reason why france was kicked out of the eurofighter consortium, and its Dassault

My personal top 3 (AIR RB only):
-
Rafale C
-
Rafale M (even if they increase the weight, still best kit of the game)
-
AESA Typhoon (if radar gets some corrections). If not, Su-30MKM, basically a Su-30sm but it gets a useful MAWs

The super hornet will be worse. even with the missile count, the aim-120 cannot make up for its terrible speed and quickness unlike the R 77-1 with the SU 30.
The R 77M should be compared to the aim-120D not the C5. If a decent platform had the 77-1 it would be pretty close to the C5 in range against a target moving in a straight line, but it would have worse range against maneuvering targets, which is made up for by its incredible maneuverability compared to the AMRAAM so I think the R77-1 is very comparable to the aim-120c-5.
If bleeding all speed before making it to a target is comparable to the AIM-120C-5 then I guess I’m wrong.
Rafale will still be the best, but flankers can be close if they buff the R-77s maneuverability
