Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance - Part 2

Supposedly mica ir range is 60km, mica em is 80 km and meteor is over 200km
Idk about ng micas though, got any info?

*1.4 ~ for ng compared to mica

And the missile still probably cruises at around Mach 4 - Mach 4.5. It will probably have lower peak speed but higher average speed at distance compared to fully solid propellant missiles

Bold assumption gaijin will bother to implement the ramjet correctly instead of just making it dump full power

i’ve seen cry-babies on the bug-report for 100km range ^^"

well even if the MICA-EM is not 100km,… it should be 80km (as advertized by manufacturer during years,…)

@DirectSupport : about your “scaled” scheme : i feel like in the rear aspect, both MICA-IR and MICA-EM should be getting pretty much the same range (the differences should be about 1 or 2km out maximum), as the engine is burning the same amount energy to do the 180° turn.
so the current range is based off the remainning energy after the turn, which is lower than front aspect shots, meaning a slower speed in which the MICA-IR and MICA-EM Drag differences would remain “scarce” (in comparison to front aspect shots)

To note that this presentation most probably compares directly to the Alm120C or D. Missiles like the PL15 probably have higher top speed and a bit longer burn as well. EDIT : higher top speed and burn time compared to the AMRAAM, not the meteor to be clear
Tho, on of the advantage of Meteor compared to them is its ability to keep energy and speed even at longer range since its motor would still be burning, hence why it’s NEZ is so high

Its gaijin. min power, so its super slow

would be 120C based on timing of this report being made

Somebody can give me a tldr about the rafale m?
Seems like u guys get that one.
No offense but u shouldnt get an upgrade , if anything a variant before the current one with pesa

It’s a downgrade, exact same thing as rafale c + exocet + heavier gear to be able to land on carrier, literally nothing else.

Still probably gonna be #2 best jet for Air RB tho, no?

If the missile kit is the same.

I guess, but they could still have this rafale have a pesa radar since some f3r did still have pesa radar and justify that way a slightly lower br.

And remove hmd and the extra missle hard oiunts

I see, what could be a suitable line in the TT tho? I doubt they’d folder it.

After mirage RMV since it’s the marine (super etendard, etendard, jaguar) line, or after mirage 4000 since there is also a crusader in this line.

HMD would most likely stick, since different HMD were tested on multiple platforms. 8 MICA maybe, maybe not.
It’d probably still have AESA, not that it matters, their stats in game would be identical since gaijin doesn’t model the benefits of AESA on PESA

We got Phantom FGR.2+Phantom FG.1 situation but French.

lmao

I mean the FM is giga good for the Rafale, slightly worse on the M, but everything else that makes it good is there
