  1. https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/f-35-overwhelming-superiority-over-rafale-and-eurofighter-in-atlantic-trident.523986/ The F-35A's overwhelming superiority has been recorded in some of the most epic air combat in NATO history when the USAF fighter met for the Atlantic Trident (April 12-18), French Rafale fighters and British Eurofighter Typhoon Eurofighter's IRST was useless against F-35A Skyward-G infrared search and track (IRST) system (from Nebbiano, Italy) is based on experience with the Eurofighter Typhoon's Pirate IRST with more than 74 km IRST. French has Optronique secteur frontal has up to 100 Km IRST on the right side and sensor for target identification with 40 km range on the left side. IRST's effective detection range depends on opponent's IR generation and F-35 has specific IR stealth mode which is similar to submarine's "go slow" approach.

Original source (non-English) http://suomenkuvalehti.fi/jutut/kotimaa/suomella-vahvat-ilmavoimat-mutta-kuinka-kauan/ Frisian Flag 2012 exercises in Holland, Finnish F-18Cs gets 100 kills and 6 loses against Eurofighter (Germany, UK), Polish new F-16 and older F-16 planes (Norway, Belgium) and Gripen (Swedish) Finland's F-18C has 16:1 kill ratio over Germany/UK's Eurofighter, Poland's F-16C Block 52+ and Norway/Belgium's F-16A MLU and Sweden's Gripen. Poland, Norway and Belgium has selected F-35A over losers in Frisian Flag 2012. ----------- http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=5525&start=1335#wrapper From GTA4's post, F-35A beating EuroFighter in acceleration. https://hushkit.net/2015/12/18/typhoon-versus-rafale-the-final-word/ Both Rafale and EuroFighter has similar angle of attack limits. For Rafale http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/flight-test-dassault-rafale-rampant-rafale-334383/ The DFCS is a "g" demand system with +9.0g/29° angle of attack (AoA) limit in air-to-air mode and +5.5g/20° AoA limit in both of the two air-to-ground/heavy stores modes (ST1 and ST2) to cater for forward or aft centre of gravity For F-35 http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=15013&start=210 Article copied beyond Aviation Week paywall. So it got stuck at 60 or 70 deg. alpha, and it was as happy as could be Classic Hornet can sustain 45 degress angle of attack. Beyond 45 degress, Hornet would be out of control. F-16 Vista with thrust vector control can sustain 90 degress angle of attack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj8OJs6E3JM F-35A can sustain 60 to 70 degress angle of attack. Software limited to 50 degress angle of attack. https://www.reddit.com/r/F35Lightning/comments/8a66ta/out_of_the_shadows_rnlaf_experiences_with_the/ Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 1. Dutch F-35 Block 3F, "F-35 sits somewhere in between the F-16 and F/A-18 when it comes to within visual range manoeuvring'". 2. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat loaded F-35A Block 3F. 3. Dutch has acknowledge early F-35 Block builds being beaten by F-16s which changed with F-35A Block 3F build. http://nettsteder.regjeringen.no/kampfly/2015/11/20/a-fly-f-35-erfaringer-fra-den-forste-uka/ More F-16 vs F-35 from Norwegian pilot. I quote Overall, flying the F-35 reminds me a bit of flying the F/A-18 Hornet, but with an important difference: It has been fitted with a turbo http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2009/07/i-flew-supersonic-barely-at-th/ F-35C has 300 degrees per second roll rate. F-35A roll rate: 300 deg/sec. Video proof. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qceZALofOcg&feature=youtu.be&t=1m15s http://theaviationist.com/2015/05/01/aileron-roll-in-t-346a/ According to most reports a Rafale features a maximum roll rate of 270 deg/s, the Eurofighter Typhoon is able of around 250 deg/s, the F/A-18E Super Hornet has a maximum roll rate of 120 deg/s whereas the F-16 can roll at 240 deg/s.
