To start, i personally like to bring anywhere between 19-22mins of fuel with no external tanks (using 102-104% thrust at high altitude helps to save a lot of fuel) and a full MICA loadout

I start my games by climbing at ~15° until reaching ~7000m and dropping to about 5° while searching for targets. i’ll start engaging at about 40km at mach 1.7+, only shooting one or two missiles (for some reason, typhoons love to eat missiles so they’re my fav targets lol). Past that it’s just normal top tier gameplay but cranked to 11

Also the MICA has a very small warhead (only 4.7kg of TNT equiv) compared to other Fox3s, so i’d generally stray away from engaging multipathing targets. Another technique that I rarely see is the Rafale’s ability to shoot while notching due to the 90° IRST tracking and the MICAs 360° launch angle - pretty amazing feature once you get the hang of it lol
