The Bug Reporting Manager is actually DS burner account, he’s playing some puppeteering here. Why would DS want to nerf his beloved Rafale?

Sea Eagle cruises at Mach 0.85, I thought AM39 cruises at about Mach 0.9? If so that’s a 60 km/h difference at sea level (about 5.5%).
The point was to illustrate the inefficiency of using a solid fuel motor. The Sea Eagle is a smaller missile than AM39, but can carry a larger warhead (242 kg vs 165 kg) nearly double the range.

Air launched : AM-39 with around 50km. Solid propellant only. Basically the same as the one used back in the 80s except the seeker was gradually upgraded. I won’t lie to you : considering the range of most ships air defenses bubble today this thing is quite obsolete
Sea launched : MM38 (solid propellant) , MM40 block 1, 2 (around 70km), MM40 block 3 (180km), MM40 block 3c (200+km). Still subsonic, but at least it has a decent range
Submarine launched : SM39 (around 40-50km, solid propellant), SM40 block 3c, derived from MM40 block 3c (jet engine with around 120+km of range). Not that important tbh, Submarines main weaponry is torpedoes after all. That being said I hope it eventually gets replaced by something faster
The air breathing Exocets can be easily recognized :
Air and sea launched variants will soon be replaced by MBDA Stratus. Not too sure about the submarine ones however, since Stratus is more squary and therefore less easy to fit in a torpedo tube :

Ah that’s why, makes more sense now. Didn’t see the air intakes so I wrongly assumed
Made a topic on Exocet so this topic doesn’t become Exocet discussion X)

ooff,… my bad:
i took AGM-84, instead of Sea eagle,…
What’s the difference?
Should be lower fuel consumption allowing for less fuel to be taken for the same amount of time, making the aircraft weigh less in actual games which does translate to better flight performance for the same amount of fuel time you take.

But why would the Rafale M F3-R get different engines from the C F3-R? Do they really have different engines irl?
Both should have the same engine.

It could be possible that the C also gets it, this is just Gszabi’s predictions of what engine goes where.

So, even better engine for the best jet? lol

My bug report got accepted and has been fixed on the dev server - the rafale will be usable again. Thanks for the upvotes on the report :)

AFAIK the current fuel consumption of the rafale is closer to the E4 than the regular M88. I expect this to be nothing burger aside from a stat card change
