After this current update all medium range Fox-3 except the Derby/R-Darter received changes that made them much more viable in high off boresight combat, including at long ranges. Due to this, aircraft with electronic scanned arrays with ±90° scanning or higher now have a massive advantage. For example, the Su-30SM2 now can essentially fly 30° away from you and fight you with little downside. This was technically possible before already, but the autopilot buffs made this even more potent since the missiles have much more energy after making the turn, and it allows this to be effective at longer ranges. The Eurofighters especially benefit from this. Due to this, I believe it’s appropriate to move these aircraft up in BR.

moved up to what they are max
Eurofighters are way better now.
Rafale is less relevant because the mica could already achieve essentially every shoot it could slave with the 140º radar HMD. The new mica is more cracked but isn’t doing anything new the old one already did.
Su-30SM2 now does the same job as the rafale but with more capacity and range.

I think it’s time for the Rafale as well as the EFT to receive the capability to fire missiles off of the RWR. The Rafale firing off the MICA in a notch through RWR using IOG would still be worse than the abomination of the Su-30SM2 firing the R-77-1 through the radar while datalinked.
Rafale’s RWR should be able to provide air-to-air capability // Gaijin.net // Issues
The MICA if fired through the RWR can only go off of IOG and wouldn’t have datalink, compared to the SM2 firing in a notch constantly providing datalink and maintaining an eye on the target(s).
For the Eurofighter though, it would be restricted to firing within the AIM-120C’s gimbal limits unless it could get the AIM-120D/IIR missiles.

Don’t you know we only get such features if russian vehicles also get them at the same time?
We need to respect the double standards afterall

You’re right, I should be patient and wait for the Su-57 to come with its LDIRCM while it also gets the ability to fire off of RWR before asking for a single thing.
