Check out the Merch Store: teespring.com/stores/growling-sidewinder-store So I guess we have a working Rafale Mod now lol, As frustrating as this thing was to fight It was actually kind of cool, Thank you to AlphaGator for bringing this mod to my attention and Thank you to Feisty for helping to make this video, I can't wait to shoot his ass down in the F-22. Alright thanks for watching guys much love to you all, and link to Rafale mod is in video description.
"shooting his ass down in the F-22...." yeah can you remember the Rafale HUD BFM video? sure it's just a mock dogfight but bc the F-22 is heavy its at a disadvantage I think🤔
@@schweizerluchs7146 The F-22 won something like 4 out of those 6 fights IIRC. I can remember no one called terminate or even foxes or guns in that video, though that's a formality in this case if you're talking about a simple 1v1. The Rafale is sporting a UFO FM, it won't be anywhere near that hard to fight with a proper FM. The TWR is better than but similar to the M2000 (under specific conditions), so whatever this Rafale is doing that the M2K cannot do ... the Rafale should basically not be able to do. As for 30 deg/s, fairly certain you can get the flanker up to that with a well planned turn :)
@@jackie_boi116 the RCS reductions are more for bvr really. itll give a pilot more time to go undetected or untracked at long ranges. it shouldn't really be a factor at this close range like GS said it was. It's a mod so it's expected to not be 100% accurate tho I guess.
@@andrulifts I mean...that literally has nothing to do with my comment...but go off. Also, why the hate? If you don't like the content go somewhere else.
F-22 Raptor wins, assuming a semi accurate DCS mod. It's better thrust-to-weight on top of thrust vectoring would be death sentence for the Rafale. Though it would be a closer fight compared to other recent videos.
The Rafale is rumored to have some classified active radar countermeasures that make it harder to lock on them... Apparently when the NATO campaign against Libya took place French Rafales were able to penetrate the Libyan air defenses without the need for specialized Electronic Warfare planes like the EA-18G Growler. Also, they are rumored to have some degree of radar-absorbant materials in key areas that give them a reduced cross-section compared to regular 4th-gen and "4.5th-gen" fighters.
Yeah it's half stealth and the super flares are from the SPECTRA thing that makes the Rafale almost impossible to hit. Lockheed Martin says it's 4,5 gen while Dassault says it's 5... gen has no meaning
It reminds me of an interview with Chuck Jones about the rules they set for Bugs Bunny cartoons: Bugs has to be provoked to mess with someone, because otherwise he’s a bully. So, GS needs to face adversity to keep him honest and make us root for him. The channel would be different without a challenge. Watching him shoot fish in a barrel wouldn’t be helpful for learning BFM anyway.
@@IchigoKurosakicool Its a mod, not a full module. Mods are not accurate, EVER! They are far less refined than a full module. Why do you think its accurate...? Oh! I get it. India brought their ultimate jet, Rafale...no wonder the bias...
"Is physics a joke to you?" is exactly what I say when I see a Rafale performing a solo display. Several demo pilots told me they struggle keeping the plane from breaking the sound barrier because it accelerates like crazy even at 10Gs when it has a clean and light configuration. Since then, the F-16 and Mirage 2000 solo demos look sluggish and slow in comparison.
@@giroromek8423 That's what I wanted to answer too. It's one aspect of "quantity vs quality" : less ammo on the 30 mm, but significant impact when it connects. (But remember, it's just a mod, so....

More people who don't know about or underestimate the Rafale. On paper the Rafale, the Gripen, and the Typhoon trade punches all day long. They are some of the most highly maneuverable if not the most maneuverable aircraft on the planet. (I don't know how they tangle with thrust vectoring.)

R.i.p GS. KIA.
😂 Gs is an absolute legend
And his horse, flies off into the sunset, with Shane slumped over in his mighty steed...
Sorry for you man, but I laughted when you said "I already saw this movie, I'm out"...
Damn that 2nd match was beautiful. You kept him at bay for just a bit then that blast to the cockpit then down the fuselage Just beautiful lol.
The flight model on the Rafale seems to be broken.
Like every other mod made by amateur for fun.
7:44 the pilot was giving a middle finger for such disrespect
Looks, like Rafale has thrust vectoring. 30’ during turn?? How much can F-22 do?
More people who don't know about or underestimate the Rafale. On paper the Rafale, the Gripen, and the Typhoon trade punches all day long. They are some of the most highly maneuverable if not the most maneuverable aircraft on the planet. (I don't know how they tangle with thrust vectoring.)
Famous last words: "*Le Sigh*... Is physic a joke to you?..."
LMFAO!!!
Only happy when miserable? Mission accomplished. Watching pieces of GS's skull fall from the plane. Fun stuff.
6:10 rip he predicted the future and ejected.
I was thinking to eject also.
You have saved reputation of DASSAULT！Merci Monsieur
6:15 Imagine he just comes back around and shoots him in the face XD
(at 03:37) Famous unfinished last words: "This is not gonna end wel--" [interrupted by getting raked stem to stern]
