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

There really isn’t any disparity with the supercruise for both planes. Both planes got buffed in this regard and neither one of them can really reach the stated supercruise figures.

I mean there is
rafale does 1.3 where it should do 1.4 irl
EF does 1.3 where it should do 1.5 irl

Either way though this isn’t the place to argue it.

Developers configured the EFT to do Mach 1.3 at 9,000m for EFT.

Developers also configured the Rafale to do Mach 1.3 but at 11,000m.

It’s likely the EFT could do Mach 1.4 at 11,000m, offering better performance still.

Also I’ll have to review it but it seems the Rafale achieves its supercruise with less weapons.

It absolutely cannot. You can barely inch out 1.34 clean under perfect conditions (afghan map) at 12000

Can you do 11,000m and not 12? Anyway, let’s take it to Rafale vs Eurofighter thread

do you know if rafale use eject or rail launchers, or both?

If I understood correctly, underwing and wingtips is rail, under fuselage is eject

That livery looks pretty cool dang

It’s so good, this camouflage isn’t just used for the (future) Rafale, but also Flanker and BAe Hawk. While the Millennium Camouflage scheme was only used for F-16.

nice milestone. Rafale and EFT should have maybe been added a little bit later to the game

A little? Bro even if they were added now it’d be too early for the Rafale F3-R
Shoulda added the M F1

I mean, they could have added an true Rafale C F3-R and not such an wierd Frankenstein as its in game…

If added much later they could have and it would have been far better for sure. Now we’re gonna be stuck with no topper to grind for so long, since the F3-R is gonna stay top br for loooong
