why is it after the 5F when the 4000 was the precursor of the Rafale ???

Because it’s Gaijin.

no mica ir, mo magic, only 6 missiles while it should have 10 max (war configuration). No half-stealth, no EW, inaccurate flight performance, inaccurate load-outs. ETC. Let’s just say the rafale f3r currently in the devserver is nowhere near the actual plane and most likely will never be.

War configuration isnt a good reason as thats means they would have to make other vehicles its war configuration like the Type 10 having a 1.7s reload but the reason the F3R has 6 missiles max is because of concerns of the mica supply with the omnirole layouts and the F4 is when they started allowing 8 micas but technically it can carry 8 with special pylons like the indians did but the french never did.
because they never needed to, not because it couldn’t.

Hey guys. Magic 2 was confirmed very shortly before the blog went live. We wanted to include this detail in the text as it was an important news development for the aircraft, but unfortunately this rendered previously written parts to be outdated. We have since fixed the blog and apologize for any confusion. We will be more careful in the future.

Why then not give Germans enjoy their?
no mica ir and no 8/10 missiles (as it should have). Meanwhile germany has unhistorical loadouts “for balance purpose”. Gaijin better give the rafale an accurate FM (virtually unstallable and mouse aim having the same modifiers as full control). Also is it’s half-stealthy or isn’t it considered?

I’d suggest checking the Rafale thread. This matter regarding its loadout is explained there. I won’t say anything cuz I’m not big on aircraft and thus know very little, but yeah, take a look over there whenever possible.

The first line from French Air and Space Force

Agreed. Also that line already has one of the best top tier planes in the game
Dassault aviation (Rafale builder) 7.5t thrustx2
Safran (engine builder) 7.5t thrustx2
…
Gaijin : 7tx2

WTF
PLUS, you take standard F3 (instead of logical F1/2) but didn’t put any of his technologies; AESA multi purpose and multi-targeting radar, SPECTRA omni-directional defensive electronic warfare/MAW, OSL (FLIR etc), MICA IR (you nerfed EM, you can nerf IR…) and the loadout aren’t that huge compared to other aircraft, this is strange that Rafale can take off at 24.000kg but none of this loadout are even close to this…?
Anyway, I’m fu*in hyped to get my hand on it, thank you for that.
PS: Armements et emports Rafale
You’ll can find some Rafale spécifications and commercial here
And here the builder of SPECTRA communication about it.

Probably bug report the engines being wrong as that will get it heard

Channel loss…
I didn’t understood ?
You know that today only US can afford a plane to do ground attack (F-35) and a plane to do air superiority (F+22)?
All other countries choose to have a plane that can do both role that’s also the main selling point of the rafale (commercial argument): it is omnirole
And to be fair US has also choose the same path through the F-15EX

7.5 tons is when it’s on a test bench, when it is installed on the aircraft you have some power loss from the exhaust of the aircraft therefore you lose power. Losing those 0.5 tons is just loosing 6.67 % of the trust. I don’t know how it compares to other aircraft. I believe that EFT is around 5%

It was said in the dev stream that the radar isn’t working as it should, so it’s likely to be fixed before live server. SPECTRA would only really entail 360° RWR coverage as it’s too early to implement EW capbilities - much less to just 1-2 jets. It has a MAWS. Damocles targeting pod does all of that OSL/FLIR stuff.
The MICA EM isn’t “nerfed”. It’s an ARH missile with thrust vectoring… All thrust-vectoring capable missiles have terrible range beyond 15-20 km… MICA IR can’t be added because again, too much for the game right now.
The loadouts of the Rafale (and other jets which are missing things) will over time be updated… There are some stuff that aren’t there now in the dev server that could be added by the time it hits the live server… Come on, you should know this drill by now.
